Offers over $1,900,000
Set quietly towards the end of Rossmore Road, where peace and privacy take centre stage, this beautifully presented grazing property of some 256 acres offers the perfect blend of lifestyle, productivity, and history. Steeped in character and lovingly maintained, it presents an ideal opportunity for those seeking a slower pace without compromising on functionality.
At the heart of the property stands a classic early 1900s Queenslander, rich in heritage and craftsmanship. A true focal point, the home has been thoughtfully restored and cared for across generations, retaining its charm while offering modern comfort.
Wraparound verandas capture cooling breezes and take in picturesque views across Fat Hen Creek, while inside, polished timber floors, high ceilings, and traditional features create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The home comprises three generous bedrooms, a separate lounge and dining area, and a spacious rear kitchen designed for practicality, complete with ample preparation space and room for a family breakfast table. The renovated bathroom is well-appointed, complemented by an office/sleepout-ideal for additional living or workspace. Beautiful timber windows invite natural light and airflow, with air-conditioning available but rarely needed.
Recent upgrades include reroofing, updated electrical and plumbing, and a brand-new septic system, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Two rainwater tanks provide approximately 45,000 litres of storage, while established gardens and a children's cubby house enhance the home's appeal.
The land itself is equally impressive-framed by a stunning mountain backdrop and subdivided into nine main paddocks, predominantly improved with Rhodes grass, Green Panic, and native species. With frontage to Fat Hen Creek, the property benefits from a permanent waterhole, providing a reliable source for irrigation.
The 18-megalitre irrigation licence on Fat Hen Creek is one of the few available on the system, adding significant value and long-term security. Two fertile, flat paddocks are ideally suited to high value grazing or hay production, while the outer reaches of the property offer a diverse landscape-more heavily timbered with mature stands of narrow leaf ironbark, along with pockets of scrub country featuring bottle trees and vine scrub.
Water security is exceptional, additional to the creek is a reliable bore producing approximately 3,000 gallons per hour. A pressure system services a header tank, reticulating water to troughs, gardens, and the home.
Cattle infrastructure includes functional timber yards shaded by established fig trees, complete with a vet crush with weigh bars & calf branding facilitiy. The property comfortably supports approximately 50 breeders year-round and is ideally suited to backgrounding cattle through to feedlot weights.
Improvements continue with excellent shedding, including:
• A 12m x 7m four-bay workshop with concrete floor and power
• A 12m x 12m shed with 8m high skillion awning, concrete floor, and plumbed rainwater
• An additional 12m x 7m hay shed
• Tack room, feed shed, dog yards, and a 4-tonne silo conveniently located near the cattle yards
Fencing is predominantly split post and barb wire, in good condition, and the property is serviced by mains power, weekly bin collection, Telstra landline, and satellite TV.
Located within easy reach of Kilkivan and Gympie, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully balanced lifestyle property-offering history, productivity, and tranquillity in equal measure. Ideal for semi-retirement or those seeking a manageable yet rewarding rural holding, this is country living at its finest.
The entire property is benefitting from the wet season, has been destocked and is carrying a full body of pasture, ready for a new wave of livestock.
