There are properties you purchase for income, and then there are those you secure for their story, character and long-term potential - 17 Boundary Street sits firmly in the second category. Originally a three bedroom Queenslander, this character home has been thoughtfully converted into a fully council approved café while still retaining a private one bedroom residence at the rear. Positioned on a generous 1,012m² block in the heart of Haden, the property also offers valuable side access, partial fencing and ample space for a substantial shed, giving future owners flexibility to expand, add storage or enhance the residential component. The café proudly carries the name Wahoon, a nod to the township's original name prior to 1912. Wahoon is an Aboriginal word meaning Scrub Turkey, grounding the business in local history and giving the property a distinctive identity that cannot be replicated. At the front, the Wahoon Café presents beautifully. Bi-fold windows open the space to the street, encouraging connection and atmosphere, while the covered front veranda creates a welcoming entry. The commercial kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel fit-out, air conditioning and its own separate toilet for patrons. A covered side veranda with blinds and outdoor heaters adds another dimension to the property, suitable for additional seating, entertaining or simply enjoying the country setting year-round. The property is serviced by tank water only, with a double filtration system dedicated to café use. A new treatment plant septic system has also been installed, providing practical and compliant infrastructure. Importantly, the character of the original home remains intact. Hoop pine flooring, traditional VJ boarding and high ceilings run throughout, preserving the warmth and authenticity buyers expect from a classic Queenslander. The main roof has been replaced and the home is supported by adjustable steel stumps, reflecting structural upgrades that add long-term confidence. Privately positioned behind the café, the residence offers one bedroom, accommodation with living area, air conditioning, kitchen and dining space, bathroom and laundry. The house kitchen is quaint and functional with a built-in pantry leading into a small covered veranda overlooking the rear yard. While there is currently no oven installed, wiring has been run beneath the home should a future owner wish to add one. The bedroom is a great size and includes a built-in robe and the bathroom includes a shower, bath and toilet. The home is also supported by two electric hot water systems. Set within the close-knit rural community of Haden, this is a township known for its country charm, local events and strong community spirit. Just a short drive to Goombungee for additional services, schooling and conveniences, and within comfortable reach of Toowoomba, the location offers genuine small-town lifestyle without complete isolation. For buyers seeking connection, simplicity and opportunity, Haden provides a setting where local support and community identity still matter. From a strategic perspective, this is a genuine live-and-work opportunity with infrastructure already in place. Fully council approved. Commercial kitchen installed. Services upgraded. Character preserved. Land size that allows further improvement. For a township property with history, income potential and future flexibility on 1,012m², that combination is increasingly rare.
