Overview

ROOM TO MOVE, SPACE TO GROW - AFFORDABLE ACREAGE LIVING!

Set on an expansive 2.22 hectares (approximately 5.49 acres) of flat, usable land, this well-maintained acreage property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy space, lifestyle and practicality while remaining just minutes from both Gladstone and Calliope. Held by the same family since 1983, the 1972-built, low-set home has been well loved and is now ready for its next chapter. With room for animals, wide open space for kids to play and explore, and excellent scope to personalise or enhance over time, this property delivers outstanding value for buyers seeking acreage living with flexibility. Inside, the home offers a generous, air-conditioned living room that flows through to a spacious dining area and country-style kitchen, complete with a separate walk-in pantry - truly the heart of the home. The front foyer provides excellent versatility and is ideal as a home office, study or additional sitting area. The main bedroom includes built-in cupboards and a generous ensuite featuring a corner shower, toilet and excellent storage. The second bedroom offers a built-in study nook that could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, while the third bedroom is generously sized, accommodating twin singles or a double bed, and includes mirrored built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom is well appointed with a bathtub, shower, double vanity and a separate toilet. All bedrooms and main living areas are fully air-conditioned, ensuring year-round comfort. Step outside to the private covered patio - an ideal place to relax or entertain while enjoying the open outlook across your acreage. The large, flat paddocks and wide-open space provide the perfect setting for kids, bikes, sports, animals and outdoor activities of all kinds. Established trees and gardens help screen the home from the road, creating privacy and a genuine country-style feel. An old stable block and round yard remain on the property, offering excellent potential for horse enthusiasts or the opportunity to repurpose the area for new sheds, storage or workshop space (STCA). The property is positioned along the Dawson Highway, offering convenient access to Gladstone, Calliope and surrounding districts, making it a practical option for buyers seeking acreage living with connectivity. Practical features include town water connected to tanks, a septic system, and a 5.06kW solar system (22-panel Aleo array with SMA Sunny Boy inverter) to assist with reducing ongoing power costs.
