This is a beautiful private rural property, almost 58 acres. This block contains the original home and out buildings of a once thriving dairy farm. The early 1900′s home, due to love and care, is in superb condition. This property is the best of both worlds, offering wonderful views and privacy, yet only being 15 minutes to Gatton and approximately 30 minutes to Toowoomba. The local primary school (Ma Ma Creek) offers a direct to door bus service. Traditional Queenslander home with three large bedrooms and one bathroom. The verandas have been enclosed to make additional living space. Separate dining and lounge room and large country style chef’s kitchen with Tasmanian Oak cupboards and bench top and a six burner gas cook top (separate electric Miele oven).
The home also features ducted air conditioning and a combustion heater, all rooms have ceiling fans.
The out buildings include a beautiful entertainment/living area, typical of an old country hall, with large covered verandas on all sides and a timber floor. This area has reverse cycle air conditioning, wet bar and dishwasher. Keeping with the charm, chandeliers hang from the corrugated iron ceiling and large timber stacker doors allow the area to be opened up to enjoy summer breezes and the views or completely close the area on a cold or wet day and enjoy the warmth of the air conditioning. Truly an all-weather entertainment area.
A separate air-conditioned carpeted office is perfect for working from home or someone with their own business. Would also work well as a studio or could be turned into a great bedroom.
Adjoining the office are two more workshops with an open area to store gardening tools and equipment. These areas back onto the large 13 x 7 shed.
Given this block was the ‘bones’ of the working property, there are numerous outbuildings including, several small shelters, horse stables, piggery, creamery, saddlery, grain shed and dairy. The dairy has made a great spot for a large outdoor setting, perfect to meet for lazy lunches or drinks in the afternoon and take in the views over the Lockyer Valley. The large hay shed currently houses two caravans, a tractor, trailers and other farm vehicles and equipment.
Also on offer are five dams (one with a jetty), five rainwater tanks, steel “Warwick Cattle Crush Company” cattle yards which includes a loading ramp, crush and head bale. The yards are covered to provide shelter when working with stock on a warm day.
The property is fully fenced (four strands) into 6 paddocks, great for rotating stock.
There are numerous assorted fruit trees in the front orchid and the driveway is lined with at least 70 fruiting olive trees.
For the kids (big or small) an excellent motorbike track on approximately five acres in one of the front paddocks. There are football goal posts and a concreted cricket pitch provides great fun for an afternoon match.
This property must be inspected to truly appreciate the charm and all that is on offer.
