If you've been searching for the perfect balance between productive rural land and luxury lifestyle living, then 'Young Hills', situated in the picturesque Moreton Bay hinterland, is a property you simply must consider.
A rare opportunity to secure an exceptional private estate where architectural country living meets productive rural landholding, 'Young Hills' spans 134.76 hectares (333 acres) in the beautiful Laceys Creek valley. The property brings together a newly completed contemporary homestead, a beautifully restored Queenslander cottage, and fully developed grazing infrastructure, creating one of the region's most compelling lifestyle estates
The family homestead has been thoughtfully designed for modern country living, featuring polished timber floors (spotted gum) and expansive, light-filled interiors that create an immediate sense of warmth and space. The open living areas flow seamlessly to the large outdoor entertaining area, complete with a magnesium pool and spa, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views across the rolling pastures and surrounding mountain ranges.
Inside, the residence offers five generous bedrooms, 3 bathrooms plus 2 powder rooms, a media room, and expansive open-plan living spaces designed to bring family and guests together. At the heart of the home sits a showpiece chef's kitchen, appointed with Imperiale stone benchtops, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Fisher & Paykel steam and convection appliances, and a Falcon oven, fitting to the character of the home. This is complemented by a fully equipped butler's pantry with a servery to the outdoor kitchen, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor entertaining.
The adjoining open-plan dining and living area centers around a striking stone featured wood fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting for large family gatherings and memorable occasions. Extending the entertaining experience outdoors, the covered alfresco kitchen with granite benchtops and expansive entertaining zones ensures the home is equally suited to relaxed day-to-day living or hosting on a grand scale.
Complementing the new homestead is the beautifully renovated original Queenslander cottage, which offers three bedrooms, one bathroom plus powder room. With independent access, it's ideal for extended family, guests, farm staff, or even a potential income stream.
The land with an estimated carrying capacity of approximately 70 head of breeder cattle is supported by nine paddocks and a full laneway system, making livestock movement and management both efficient and stress-free. Infrastructure includes approximately 20 kilometres of new fencing, well-designed stock yards with cattle crush and scales, and two large substantial sheds, a 24 x 15 metre high-clearance shed and a 21 x 12 metre barn, both powered by three-phase electricity.
Water security is a standout feature, with ten dams including the main 30-megalitre spring-fed feature dam with jetty, a bore, and a seasonal creek, complemented by extensive rainwater storage supplying both homes. The pastures have been improved with Pangola, Signal, Rhodes, and Gatton Panic, supported by legumes such as Wynn Cassia and Glycine, ensuring reliable grazing capability.
Energy infrastructure includes a 19kW three-phase solar system with a 15kW inverter and central generator backup, adding both efficiency and resilience to the property.
The lifestyle offerings of 'Young Hills' are equally impressive. The property features established fruit trees including avocado, custard apple, lemon, mandarin, and mango, raised vegetable gardens, and beautifully maintained grounds, all set within expansive open spaces that create a true sense of privacy and retreat.
What truly sets 'Young Hills' apart is the combination of luxury residential living, productive rural capability, and proximity to major centres. Properties offering this level of infrastructure, land quality, and lifestyle amenity within commuting distance of Brisbane are increasingly rare. Whether you are seeking a move for lifestyle, investment, or rural production, 'Young Hills' represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
