“Aquila”, 3 Schadwell Road, Blenheim — a property full of potential, packed with adventure, and surrounded by nature's best.
Let me paint the picture:
Set on 22 hectares — that's 55 acres — this deceased estate boasts breathtaking views, flood-free property, and absolute privacy. If you've been searching for a project with enormous upside, this is your moment.
Let's talk about the home:
A solid 3-bedroom house with great bones, waiting for someone with vision. Beneath the old linoleum, carpets and wallpaper, you'll uncover stunning intact hardwood floorboards and timber vj walls. A spacious deck at the front and side of the home is perfectly positioned to soak in those sweeping vistas over Forest Hill and the surrounding rural landscape, and the peaceful setting amongst mature shady trees. The house is high on the block, perfect for catching cool breezes and enjoying the peacefulness. Water tanks are already in place and re-plumbed - a great start to your rural dream.
The land – simply beautiful:
Undulating and rich in natural beauty and birdlife, this block features mature specimen trees — the kind you can't plant today and see tomorrow. There are hoop pines, a 35-year old bottle tree, a beautiful large fig tree near the home, and if you're lucky you'll find an old kauri pine or two. There's a couple of dams at the front of the property and a cluster of dams towards the back, including one that has always held water during the last four decades. This country is ideal for either horses or cattle.
Now, the hidden treasures:
Being a deceased estate, the property is sold 'as is'. Yes, it needs a cleanup - but that clean-up comes with surprises. Three older tractors - one reliable old Ford tractor recently started - antique farm equipment, and maybe even more hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
The location:
Only 12 minutes to Laidley and Forest Hill, 18 minutes to Gatton, 5 minutes to the Blenheim School, and an easy commute to either Ipswich or Toowoomba.
Open homes are available, or book your private inspection — just don't forget your jeans and boots. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and regain this property's potential.
