Lot 3, 2346 Running Creek Road
Offering a peaceful country setting with a fascinating story to tell, this property is ideal for those seeking a rural escape, additional acreage or an opportunity to create their own country retreat (STCA)
Originally used as the horse paddock for the Mt Gipps Rabbit Board patrolmen, the property played an important role in the maintenance of the historic rabbit proof fence, which was established to protect Queensland's agricultural land.
The paddock remained in use by patrolmen and their horses right through until the 1990s, with patrolmen and their families also permitted to keep milking cows and calves on the land.
Adding to the property's remarkable history is its connection to the Border Railway, with the entrance to the historic 1,160 metre tunnel located approximately 100 metres from the north-western corner of the property.
The railway played a significant role during World War II, transporting troops and machinery north and returning wounded soldiers south aboard hospital trains.
