This property has the most beautiful view of Mt Maroon and the surrounding mountain ranges from every point on the place. Situated between the rural townships of Rathdowney and Boonah, you will enjoy the local amenities of both, as well as the national parks and recreational activities that are close by, including Maroon Dam.
Covering 55.29ha (136 acres), the land has been used for beef cattle and cropping, comfortably sustaining between 30 – 40 head. The topography ranges from alluvial creek flats to gently undulating slopes and with very little steep country, it is easily managed. Much of the property is pasture improved and there’s an excellent coverage of feed – mainly Rhodes grass, paspalum, kikuyu, green panic and siratro.
The property has approximately 500m frontage to Burnett Creek and a water allocation is included in the sale for irrigation. An estimated 18 acres can be irrigated via 6” underground main and 5 hydrants (mains were replaced in 2017). Only a small area of the creek flats is affected by flooding. The irrigation pump is also used to fill to a 5,000 gallon header tank that gravity feeds to two water troughs and a second tank used for the gardens. A dam behind the house provides stock water to one of the main grazing paddocks.
The homestead is surrounded by low-maintenance gardens and shaded by mature trees and shrubs. It features three good – sized bedrooms plus a sunroom / office and two bathrooms. A wood heater warms the kitchen and living areas and the house is also air conditioned. Verandahs wrap around two sides and there is a deck out the front to take in that spectacular mountain outlook. Adjacent to the house is a separate, air-conditioned studio or guest room.
Just a short walk from the house is the cottage – completely self – contained, it could be rented or is perfect for guest accommodation. With an industrial – style interior, it could be transformed for just about any purpose.
The property is further improved with two good sheds; a machinery/workshop shed (with 3 phase power) and a hayshed, plus a set of steel cattle yards with covered work area, crush, load bars and loading ramp.
With its productive grazing country and potential to further improve it, together with the capacity to irrigate, this property offers much more than just a lifestyle.
