In the heart of the picturesque Mount Sylvia Valley lies a property that tells a story. Imagine driving home through the rolling green landscapes of the Lockyer Valley, framed by mountains and patchworked farmland.

Here, on a generous 1227m² allotment, sits a charming 1940's farmhouse that offers all the character of yesteryear - without the burden of managing a large acreage. This is a truly unique opportunity to enjoy the peace and beauty of rural life, with the added ease of nearby towns offering all the services and amenities you could need.
