Set at the end of a picturesque tree-lined driveway and commanding sweeping rural vistas, this exceptional 24-acre estate presents a rare opportunity to enjoy an idyllic country lifestyle without compromising on comfort, character or contemporary convenience.
Elevated to capture breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside, the property combines the timeless elegance of a beautifully restored Queenslander with resort-style amenities, productive land and an impressive level of modern self-sufficiency.
Rich in history and charm, the residence is more than a century old, having been thoughtfully relocated to the property in the 1980s. Retaining an abundance of original Queenslander character while seamlessly embracing modern enhancements, the home was renovated to offer 3 generous bedrooms all enjoying alfresco access plus a dedicated office space which could be used as a 4th bedroom STCA. A sun-soaked north-facing verandah provides a warm welcome, opening to interiors adorned with soaring ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, polished timber floors and elegant French doors. At its heart, a cosy living room with a wood-burning fireplace invites relaxed evenings, while the expansive formal lounge and dining space is highlighted by a stunning bay window and year-round comfort via zoned ducted air conditioning and heating. The country-style kitchen blends warmth and practicality, featuring a farmhouse sink, abundant storage and beautiful views across the estate grounds.
Extensively upgraded for modern rural living, the property delivers an enviable level of sustainability and independence. The main residence is serviced by approximately 15.2kW of solar power supported by 48kWh of battery storage, alongside a recently installed zoned ducted air-conditioning system with remote app control. 3 x 20,000L water tanks are complemented by a two-stage UV filtration system, ensuring high quality water throughout the home plus a 5000L adjacent to the house with a seperate pump . Significant infrastructure improvements include upgraded plumbing, septic treatment systems, enhanced security measures, full perimeter fencing and strategic clearing around the residence to maximise airflow and minimise ongoing maintenance.
Adding another dimension to the estate's appeal and STCA is a fully self-contained off-grid tiny home, offering complete independence with 5.7kW of solar power, 24kWh of battery storage, split system air conditioning, tank water and a composting toilet.

The land itself is a standout feature, comprising of approx 24 acres of predominantly level and highly usable countryside. Fully fenced and divided into cleared paddocks, it is perfectly suited to horses, livestock, hobby farming or simply providing an extraordinary amount of space for children and pets to enjoy. A substantial 15m x 6m shed/triple carport, extensive water storage and a chicken enclosure also suitable for other small livestock or dogs, further enhances the property's versatility and appeal.
Established gardens, manicured surrounds and productive plantings create a setting of natural beauty and abundance, with mango, citrus, mandarin and lemon myrtle trees flourishing throughout the grounds.
