Set against the rolling hills of Preston, just 13 minutes from Toowoomba's city centre, this residence presents a truly rare lifestyle and business opportunity - a 50-acre nature sanctuary where tranquility meets enterprise.
Nestled within the wilderness of the Glen Lomond Valley, this exceptional property offers an escape from the everyday, surrounded by abundant native wildlife and breathtaking rural scenery. The estate's north-eastern aspect captures spectacular sunrises, while the elevated position ensures privacy and peace rarely found this close to town.
At the heart of the property stands a Federation Queenslander, designed by the renowned architect Robin Dods. Meticulously maintained and partially renovated, the residence reflects timeless craftsmanship blended with modern comfort. The home is framed by approximately six acres of parkland and gardens - an idyllic setting for relaxation, reflection, or entertaining against a backdrop of sweeping valley views.
Beyond its residential charm, this property also offers a profitable and proven accommodation business. Three fully self-contained cabins, each with a single carport, are nestled discreetly among the trees, with one of the cabins approved for permanent living.
Supporting the property's self-sufficiency is an ample water supply system, including multiple rainwater tanks (totalling 72,000 litres for the main residence and 54,000 litres for the cabins) as well as a 500 GPH bore delivering potable water to all taps and tanks. A 22,000-litre header tank services the lush gardens, ensuring year-round vitality for lawns, trees, and ornamental plantings.
Additional infrastructure includes a three-bay powered Colourbond garage (10m x 7.5m) with storage shelving and workbench - perfect for workshop or hobby use.
This is a lifestyle property - a retreat that blends personal sanctuary with the potential for sustained income. Whether continuing the existing eco-accommodation business, expanding into wellness retreats, or simply embracing a peaceful rural lifestyle within reach of Toowoomba, the possibilities here are extraordinary.
