Tiled throughout for your convenience and to appease the allergy sufferer of the family. The home offers four (4) bedrooms. The main, with walk in robe, ceiling fan, air cooler and ensuite and the second bedroom with built in robes and ceiling fan are located to the northern end of the home and are separated by an air conditioned multipurpose area which could be utilised as a parent’s retreat, a study or perhaps as its current use a second lounge area.

A hall way with built in linen cupboard, the main bathroom with separate shower, full bath, vanity unity, heat lights and a separate toilet, a good size laundry with built in storage shelves divide the third and fourth bedrooms. Both bedrooms offer built in robes and are located at the southern end of the home.

The kitchen features a pantry, ample bench and cupboard space, stainless steel sinks, a ceramic cook top, electric wall oven and an additional double storage cupboard for the electrical appliances. A glass sliding door leads from the family room to the massive undercover and enclosed entertainment area. From this position, your viewing pleasure is both private and delightful. Relax and enjoy overlooking the established native trees, numerous and varied fruit trees, passion fruit vines, pumpkin vines, grapes etc etc on your own (3) acres of sub dividable land (subject to Beaudesert Shire Council approval) and of course the beautiful views of Mount Edward which is one of the four mountains in the Moogerah Peaks National Park.

Entertain family and friends in the second covered outdoor entertainment area with tiled flooring and a very sturdy built in timber bar which again is strategically positioned to take in the brilliant landscape of Mountain views and the rural outlook whilst enjoying a cold beverage or two at day’s end.

The double garage is powered, has a concrete floor and roller doors to accommodate the vehicles along with an extended powered workshop with a roller door at the rear of the double garage has an adjacent undercover area for those never ending projects to be completed. The side carport completes the covered requirements for the trailer, boat or ride on mower. There’s also a separate 3mx3m garden shed at the back of the home to store the garden fertilizers/nutrients, plant food and other much needed gardening bits and pieces.

There are 20 solar panels with a 3klw and a 2 klw inverter in place to assist in putting a huge dent in the power bill. The residence also boasts connection to both town water and tank water supplied from the two tanks approximately 8,000 gallons with an electric pump. The choice is yours which you prefer to use or alternate between the two water sources.

The village Aratula is surrounded by beautiful natural areas including the Moogerah Peaks National Park and Main Rain National Park. Located in the Fassifern Valley, the four peaks of Moogerah have been carved from volcanic rock and the inaccessibility of the area has spared the natural vegetation from clearing by European settlers. The Park shelters eucalypt forest, sheer cliffs, and patches of rainforest. The cliffs on Mount French are a favourite with rock climbers, but not for the inexperienced or faint of heart. Palm Gorge on nearby Mount Greville is home to a nearly pure strand of Picabeen Palms. On the southern edge of Moogerah Peaks National Park lies Lake Moogerah, a popular spot for waterskiing, jet skiing, boating and fishing. The local council runs a caravan park on the shores of the lake and other facilities include electric and wood barbecues, two boat ramps, children’s playground, kiosk and kayak hire. To the west of Aratula lies the Main Range National Park, home of plants found nowhere else in the world. The Park is part of the Scenic Rim and offers many walking tracks that explore the rainforest and escarpments. Along the way you’ll enjoy glorious sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Country living with city amenities, Aratula is approximately 30 minutes’ drive south west of Ipswich and an hour from Brisbane.
