Teneriffe House, Heritage villa in Teneriffe, Australia.

Located at 37 Teneriffe Drive, this brick and stone residence features wide verandahs, a slate roof, and cast-iron columns across its single-story layout.

Built in 1865 for James Gibbon, a Legislative Council member, the villa underwent major renovations in 1882 when Robert Wilson added new wings and modern amenities.

The villa contains cedar joinery, marble mantelpieces, and a central vestibule leading to four main rooms, reflecting the lifestyle of Brisbane's upper class.

The property sits on a hilltop position overlooking the Bulimba Reach of Brisbane River, with part of its former grounds now serving as Teneriffe Park.

The residence stands as one of the few remaining houses from the 1860s in Brisbane and earned its place on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1993.
