Elevated 5-Acre Retreat with Dual-Living Potential
Some properties you chase. This one you arrive at.
Set high on five fully fenced, useable acres with sweeping views across the valley to the Toowoomba escarpment, 232 Old Homebush Road is a multi-level family home designed around a rare idea - space to live, entertain, work, and breathe, without giving up the 10-minute drive to town.
A Home Built For The Way Families Actually Live
With 531m² under roof and 345m² of internal living split across three thoughtfully zoned levels, the floor plan offers something most acreage homes don't: genuine flexibility. Multiple separate living zones.
Two covered outdoor decks. Four generous bedrooms privately upstairs. And a downstairs entertaining level already plumbed and proportioned for a second kitchen and self-contained living - ideal for multi-generational households, blended families, a teenage retreat, or long-staying guests who'd appreciate their own space.
The main living zone is anchored by a renovated stone kitchen with Miele dishwasher, double ovens, and Electrolux rangehood, flowing into open dining and onto a cable-balustrade deck where the Toowoomba ridgeline becomes the daily backdrop. A wood-burning fireplace warms the cooler months; reverse-cycle air conditioning handles the rest.
Upstairs, the master suite is a retreat in its own right - plantation shutters, split-system air-con, a full walk-in dressing room, private powder room, and modern ensuite. Three further bedrooms with built-in robes share a well-appointed main bathroom.
The Entertainer's Edge
Downstairs is where this home truly separates itself. An 8.5 x 12.4-metre undercover entertaining space - polished concrete floors, exposed timber ceiling, sliding barn doors - opens onto manicured gardens. Whether it's eight for Sunday dinner or eighty for a milestone birthday, the space adapts without missing a beat. With plumbing and room already in place for a future kitchenette, the dual-living potential is there whenever you want to activate it.

Why This One, Why Now
Acreage lifestyle properties combining this scale of land, this calibre of shedding, genuine elevated views, and proven self-sufficiency infrastructure - all within a 10-minute commute of a major regional city - are genuinely difficult to replicate.
The vendors have meticulously maintained and improved the property over their years of ownership. Your opportunity is to walk in and enjoy it from day one.
