Clear Mountain.

With under 1,000 residents, Clear Mountain is the mountaintop sanctuary of the Samford region, boasting swathes of abundant greenery and unparalleled views over Lake Samsonvale and the Glasshouse Mountains further north.

A range of housing types on acreage, from modest homes to grand multi-million dollar estates shows how the suburb holds appeal for young families, professionals and retirees. Only a short 10-minute drive to the specialty shops and cafés of Samford Village makes this rural retreat very convenient.

Sharing borders with Mount Samson, Cashmere and Closeburn, Clear Mountain’s secluded enclave provides all the benefits of a truly rural lifestyle within a 30-minute drive of the city. To the west of Clear Mountain sits the vast D’Aguilar National Park. Covering approximately 36,000ha, the park is home to some of South East Queensland’s most striking bushland with remote gorges, eucalypt woodland and subtropical rainforest intermingling in a pristine ecosystem that teems with wildlife.

Lake Samsonvale, to the north of Clear Mountain, supplies much of the greater Moreton Bay region with potable water, while permit holders take advantage of the canoeing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing overseen by the Lake Samsonvale Water Sports Association. Several picnic and barbecue spots are scattered around the many shores of the lake, providing a perfect plan for a peaceful afternoon by the water. For those looking for a more indulgent pastime, Stephanie’s Mountain Spa situated in the Mercure Clear Mountain Lodge is renowned for its luxurious setting and extensive range of treatments.

Clear Mountain is a secluded paradise that is equipped with every convenience, a balance near impossible to find anywhere else.
