This lovingly maintained 2 bedroom heritage home is the original farm house which belonged to one of Lamb Island's earliest residents, of which Lovell Parade is named after. It was moved to it's current position in more recent times by a descendant of one of Lamb Island's earliest settlers, John Cameron who settled on the island in the 1890's. It was built from hardwood timber floated down the waterways from the Gold Coast and with high ceilings, ornate detailing and polished hoop pine flooring through out.
This grand Queenslander is situated on 1575m2 of fully fenced and private established gardens on 2 separate titles, and is accompanied by a very large secure garage below (capable of housing multiple vehicles), a separate workshop, carport, aviaries and mini horse stable.
Both front and back entrances lead into 2 large sun rooms which could be used as an office or guest room.
The kitchen is cosy with room for a small dining table and has gas appliances for cooking and old style pantry cupboard. A screen door from the kitchen leads out onto the verandah and an ornate servery window separates the kitchen from the living area.
The living area has high ceilings and a pot belly fireplace to take the chill off cold winter nights.
The master bedroom has air conditioning unit and built-in wardrobe.
Access to the bathroom is from both bedrooms and there is a bath and separate shower.
The large covered verandah is fully protected from the weather and has plenty of space to extend your living area outdoors. There are outdoor power points and a more unique feature is a lift winch which was used to haul up groceries from ground level to the first floor in the days long before Woolworths delivered groceries daily and food was bought in bulk.
At ground level there is another tiled room that is set up for dog grooming with plumbing, tiled floor and special dog bath. This could be a new venture? Or perhaps you have a pooch yourself...
This property is a must see and would suit someone looking for a unique character home with plenty of secure storage for vehicles, boats, and workshop space to potter on projects. The finer details of this historic home such as ornate breezeways and gas lights throughout are reminiscent of the pioneering days on Lamb Island (Ngudooroo.)

ABOUT LAMB ISLAND
Lamb Island is the second smallest of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands with excellent fishing, kayaking, sailing and deep water moorings on our doorstep. We have about 400 residents and a small community feel compared to the larger suburban islands Russell and Macleay. Get your local honey, freshly roasted coffee, organic microgreens, edible mushrooms and handmade soap from some of the local small businesses on Lamb. We are just a 21 minute Translink passenger ferry to Redland Bay, Brisbane where there is free car parking and the Weinam Creek Development is in the pipeline. We have mains water, electricity, NBN internet, public tennis court, playground, BBQ area and swimming area, off-leash dog park, community garden, free rubbish dump, Lamb Island Recreational Club and a small shop. Woolworths deliver here every day of the week for a small delivery fee (max $15). There are essentials such as schools, post office, pharmacies, medical centres, hardware stores and cafes on the neighbouring islands Macleay and Russell which are a free 5 minute inter-island ferry away. The vehicle barge is $54 each way for residents leaving from Redland Bay, Brisbane. The Island jetties will be getting a modern revamp over the next couple of years with work on the Russell Island jetty already commenced.
The islands are moving ahead and undergoing a building boom which is to be expected for a region so close to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The secret's out and more people are discovering our beautiful islands.
