This historic Queensland residence has since retired to this serene bushland setting. From the grand wrap around verandah the foyer boasts pressed metal panelling, soaring 14ft ceilings and leadlight features. The formal lounge and sitting rooms boast the original fireplaces - whilst the formal dining room provides the atmosphere for decadent dinner parties. Wide sweeping halls link the formal areas to the generously proportioned kitchen - a country style affair with modern touches to meet the needs of the family chef - including dishwasher, walk in pantry, 900m gas cook top and dual ovens. The kitchen opens to a covered deck - which in turn overlooks your own private bushland paradise. There are four good sized bedrooms in the main homestead and parking underneath for the cars.
