Character-filled charm and a secluded, tranquil setting warmly unite at this picturesque property, with a beautiful 100-year-old, restored and renovated Queenslander residence sitting high upon a prime, privately tucked away landholding.
Delivering comfortable living areas rich with traditional features, an elevated deck for breezy entertaining, an array of versatile outbuildings, garden terraces and a lifestyle to love, this horse-friendly acreage, 7 minutes from Dayboro, is simply perfect.
With such pleasant surroundings, you can't help but relax and be inspired. Relocated to this site almost 30 years ago, this early Queenslander's preserved interiors include polished pine floorboards, VJ walls and high ceilings, decorative breezeways above the doorways, fanlights and casement windows.
There is a cosy, country-style lounge complete with a freestanding wood heater and air-conditioner and a sleepout for you to use as additional media, study or playroom spaces. French doors from living areas and bedrooms lead onto verandahs front and rear, allowing you to step outside and take in the fresh air, laze with a book and your morning coffee or sit and watch the kids as they ride their ponies.
Renovated using neutral, easy-to-live-with soft-beige tones, the large, modern farmhouse-style kitchen boasts smooth stone benchtops, a four-door pantry and lots of drawers, an Omega range, a dishwasher and both coffee and small appliance nooks. With calming rural and treetops views, there's every chance you'll be distracted from the task at hand.
Each of the three large bedrooms has full-height built-in wardrobes and one is air-conditioned, with all gaining plenty of natural light and ventilation through at least a couple of glazed openings.
The fully featured, renovated family bathroom has polished, porcelain floor and wall tiles, a relaxing bath and a separate walk-in shower with minimal glass. A second toilet is situated along this same breezeway corridor, with the potential to develop an ensuite in this space to service the adjacent main bedroom.
Capable of further expansion, the house's legal-height undercroft is fully concreted and has plumbing already in place for a second kitchen, bathroom and a separate toilet. This home presents scope to add a self-contained dual living suite or a teenager's retreat, a games room or an office (STCA). The laundry's rebuild is complete and features two walls of generous storage with under-bench appliance spaces for both a washer and a dryer.
The 2.54 hectares will delight, from the 3 fenced livestock paddocks and all-weather driveway with solar-powered, remotely operated gates, to the fireplace's dry log storage areas and the secure, dog-fenced house yard and dog-proof property boundary. As you walk over the property, along boarded walkways and under bougainvillea-covered arbours, discover the open-air deck and a pergola-covered platform, a rainforest garden, firepit area, orchard and a protected chook run.
Shelters are situated in each paddock, there is the 'Tack Room', a raised timber hut with power and water, a 9.5m x 6m serviced shed with kitchenette attached to 'The Stables' and a small outbuilding that will make an ideal artist's studio. Included is an ample tank water supply for the house, sheds, livestock and plants.
This idyllic spot, with a seasonal creek and a forested environmental corridor, is also bordered on one boundary by SEQ Water, land ownership that manages water catchment and protects the land from development.
Situated 7km from Dayboro, 17km from Samford and 38km from the heart of Brisbane, this rural address has a host of local conveniences, shops, the Crown Hotel, Dayboro State School and a choice of popular cafés close at hand. The serenity will amaze and the proximity to amenities will please.
