It has been in the family for three generations, and while the time to sell has come, letting go is never easy.

Myora Park at Moggill is owned by Necia Stockwell, the mother of former Olympian turned property developer Mark Stockwell.

She and husband Bill Stockwell, now deceased, founded the Stockwell Property Group back in 1952, which is now headed by their former elite swimmer son.

“It is bittersweet (selling up),” Mark Stockwell said. “I remember when my parents bought the place and feeling incredibly lucky.

“It is on the intersection of the Brisbane and Bremer rivers and it was such a sensational and beautiful place to grow up.”

Mr Stockwell said he and his siblings were all involved in the local pony club, and has several horses on the property.

He said it was very much a typical childhood, and a place where they could explore until the sun went down.

Myora Park sits on 10 acres, and the homestead is packed full of period features including handcrafted parquetry flooring, soaring 3.7m ceilings, a two-way log fireplace, leadlight accents and chandeliers.

A sweeping driveway leads up to the residence, which has a traditional bullnose veranda with views of the gardens and landscape.

Outside there is also a pool, spa, sauna, tennis court and barbecue facilities.

But there are plenty of modern conveniences inside. The kitchen has top appliances, plenty of storage, marble and stainless steel benches, and there is even a second kitchen for catering big family events.

There is also formal and informal dining areas, as well as a sitting room with a wet bar, wine cellar, a formal lounge as well as a vast living room with river vistas.

Six bedrooms can be found throughout the homestead, including a master suite with plenty of windows including clerestory casements, a walk-in robe and an ensuite with a claw foot bath and bidet.

The four remaining bedrooms all have built-in robes, while a fully self-contained guesthouse gives guests a place to relax in private.

Other features include a home office/library, ducted airconditioning and four car accommodation with a large workshop attached.

Mr Stockwell said he would always treasure the many family memories at Myora Park, saying it had been an emotional experience packing up the home.

“But it is time for someone new to enjoy it,” he said. “And we are leaving a few surprises, but that will be for the new owner to discover.”
