The Original Highfields, Hidden Down a Long Private Driveway
Ask anyone why they moved to Highfields and you'll hear the same things. Space, schools, community and that feeling of living among the trees while staying ten minutes from everything. What's getting harder to find is the version of Highfields that started it all, the established acreage-style blocks with real gardens and real privacy. That's what's on offer at 18 Cawdor Drive.
You can't see the house from the road. The driveway winds in past mature gums before opening onto a circular turnaround and by the time you're standing at the front door the street feels a long way behind you. The garden has had decades of care poured into it, established natives, rock-lined beds and bird houses in the trees that the local koalas, owls and birdlife treat as their own. And where most homes offer a double garage, this one raises it with a three-bay shed with workshop space, equipped with three-phase power. The kind of setup people spend years wishing they had.
Inside, the home has been kept beautifully by owners who have loved their time here and are now ready to downsize. Solid brick, generous formal and casual living and an elevated position that looks out over the treetops to open countryside, where the sunsets put on a show most evenings. Comfortable as it stands, with room to put your own stamp on it over time.
The practical side stacks up too. The school run to Mary MacKillop or Highfields State Secondary is short, Highfields Village has the groceries, coffee and everyday essentials covered just up the road and Toowoomba's CBD is an easy run when you need the rest.
Homes in this pocket tend to stay in the same hands for years, and it's easy to see why. Come and walk the driveway for yourself, that's usually all it takes.
