Time for a tree change and we have the perfect property for you. Nestled in its position for over 100 years not far from the Balonne River in St George SW QLD and boasting a magnificent restoration which brought her back to her former glory. The Anchorage is a heritage listed house which was built in 1903 by Andrew Nixon from timber and his own sawmill on the banks of the Balonne River. The present owners have brought the large country garden back to life, and developed some very special areas which make the homestead a treasure in the middle of an oasis of plantings, rose beds, vegetable gardens and age old trees, all with ample water available.
Business opportunities abound as this beautiful home on just over 5 acres of land is already attracting sometimes 2 buses per week and 2 flight tours a month during the tourist season. Bed and Breakfast and function centre is just the start of potential in this Grand setting.
The anchorage has 6 bedrooms over two stories with 10 ft verandahs. Rooms on the bottom floor are 14 feet high and the second floor has 12 ft ceilings. The living room nestled on the north east side with beautiful morning light drifting in during these cold days, favours a nautical feel in recognition of the name of the home.
The library/office (satellite NBN connected), is positioned just off the original timber entry which houses the amazing rare double winder stair case.
True country feel in the delightful large farmhouse kitchen, with Belling Range Stove, porcelain sink, wood burner, large walk-in pantry and centre Island bench which would be the envy of any county kitchen.
Breezeways and rooms aplenty transport you back to another era. Large machinery shed with 10.5 kilowatts solar system with 5 kilowatts being fed back into the grid.
The Anchorage is situated 10 minutes from St George on fully sealed road. St George is serviced by Rex Airlines with two return flights per week from Brisbane.
The beauty of this Grand home is that it has never flooded. Bring your family and inspect this delight.
