Overview

SUPER RARE - Stable Precinct Property - 700m from Racecourse!

**OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE the rear neighbouring property at 483 Tor Street, Newtown providing dual street frontage options.** Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find and nearly impossible to replace. Positioned within Newtown's tightly held Stable Precinct zoning, 18 McDowall Street presents a genuinely unique opportunity for racing enthusiasts, trainers, investors or buyers simply chasing a property with character, flexibility and long-term scarcity value. With direct ties to Toowoomba's racing culture and only a handful of comparable stable properties changing hands in recent years, this is the type of asset that rarely becomes available to the open market. THE PROPERTY: [:] Rare Stable Precinct-zoned property positioned only moments from Clifford Park Racecourse [:] Existing improvements include 6 horse boxes plus a dedicated tack room [:] Flexible additional room offering potential use as a third bedroom, office or storage space [:] Functional residence with scope for renovation, modernisation or future enhancement over time [:] Ideal opportunity for trainers, racing participants, hobbyists or buyers seeking a specialised holding close to major racing infrastructure [:] Unique setup providing genuine utility rarely available within residential Toowoomba locations [:] Practical allotment with strong accessibility and operational functionality for equine-related use [:] Property offers enormous character and future upside for buyers prepared to undertake improvements where required [:] Strong underlying land value supported by scarcity of comparable stable properties within the area THE LOCATION: McDowall Street sits within a highly unique and tightly held pocket of Newtown, highly regarded for its direct proximity to Clifford Park and easy access to major amenities: [:] Approx. 700m to Clifford Park Racecourse [:] Approx. 750m to Clifford Gardens Shopping Centre [:] Approx. 2.4kms to Toowoomba CBD & Grand Central Shopping Centre [:] Convenient access to major arterial roads and transport links [:] Close proximity to cafés, medical facilities and everyday conveniences [:] Located within one of Toowoomba's most specialised and difficult-to-replicate precincts [:] Stable Precinct properties remain exceptionally tightly held, with limited turnover historically FOR INVESTORS: [:] Currently leased at $615 per week until April 2027, providing immediate holding income. [:] Stable Precinct zoning creates a highly specialised and limited asset class within the Toowoomba market [:] Opportunity to further improve and modernise the property over time to maximise long-term value [:] Ideal long-term hold for buyers seeking land with scarcity-driven appeal and specialised use potential [:] General council rates of $1,507.45 nett half yearly and water rates of $377.40 nett half yearly plus consumption [:] Properties of this nature are rarely offered publicly, with only a small number of comparable sales recorded over recent years This is not a cookie-cutter investment or standard residential offering - it's a niche holding with genuine scarcity, practical functionality and long-term appeal tied directly to one of Toowoomba's most established racing precincts. For the right buyer, opportunities like this are few and far between. Briq Property is proud to present 18 McDowall Street, Newtown, to the market. We look forward to welcoming you at an upcoming inspection.
