Picture it.
You turn off P Griffiths Road and pass beneath the timber archway, the white post and rail fence guiding you in.
The drive winds under the shade of established trees, and the cattle lift their heads from the paddock to watch you pass. The afternoon light turns everything gold.
By the time the home comes into view, wrapped in gardens and green lawn, your shoulders have already dropped.
This is what it feels like to come home to 160 acres of your own.
THE LAND
160 acres (64.75 ha), fully fenced with four strand barbed wire.
It's divided into an east and a west paddock, each with water troughs fed from bore, and both currently running cattle.
Government land class mapping shows about 90% of the holding as Class C1 pasture land, suited to sown and native pastures on high fertility soils. The balance is Class C2 native pasture.
Genuine grazing country. Quiet and secluded, yet close to everything.
A HOMESTEAD WITH PRESENCE
This 1980s low set brick home has an honest, crafted character that's increasingly rare.
Raked timber ceilings and exposed beams rise above warm feature brick and arches. Slate floors run through the living spaces.
The formal lounge is built around a substantial brick wood burning fireplace. Through a brick archway, a study sits quietly to the side.
A second wood burning fireplace warms the dining room beside the timber kitchen. From there, the plan opens on to a family room and rear verandah.
Four bedrooms sit in the main home, including a master with walk in robe. The family bathroom has a separate shower and bath, with a garden outlook.
Zoned ducted air conditioning keeps it comfortable in every season.
SPACE FOR FAMILY AND GUESTS
At one end of the home, under the same roofline, the original three car garage has become a self contained wing.
It has its own bedroom, bathroom, living area and kitchenette. It's ideal for extended family, older children or guests.
READY TO WORK
- One bore and two dams
- Troughed east and west paddocks
- Two stables with a covered area
- 16 x 7 m shed for vehicles, machinery and storage
The land is zoned Rural under the Scenic Rim Planning Scheme. Council's fact sheet confirms livestock grazing doesn't need planning approval in this zone.
Annual Council Rates: $4,130 (at time of listing)
At the front, a full length verandah takes in the paddocks and the tree line beyond. It's the natural place to begin the day, and to watch it end.
