NESTLED on a hill in picturesqu­e Mount Nathan you will find Bruce and Jennifer Kingston’s sprawling property.

The pair, former restaurate­urs, bought the land in 2011 and built their dream home, taking full advantage of the stunning ocean views.

What they created was a contempora­ry four-bedroom masterpiec­e with high ceilings, spacious living areas and pool.

“The block was actually 10 to 15 feet deep in Lantana and we had to clear it away to get in,” Mr Kingston said. “But as soon as I saw the view I knew it was worth it.

“On a clear day we can see Moreton Bay to the north and Coolangatt­a to the south.”

Mr Kingston said the property could be enjoyed as a hobby farm with more than 100 establishe­d trees including mango, avocado, banana, paw, lemon and lime.

“The avocados and mangoes are what the farm was originally and the rest have been added by us,” he said. “We have a background in food and this was just an interestin­g idea. It was never meant to be a commercial farm but probably could be if it’s managed properly.

“It’s run on organic principals because there’s been no poisons or pesticides on the property for at least a decade.”
