Muirlea is one of those places most people have never heard of and that’s exactly why those lucky enough to own here never leave. With only 70 properties in the entire suburb, all acreage, tucked quietly on the border of Brassall and North Ipswich, it offers the peace and space of rural living without the sacrifice. Minutes to town, schools, cafes, and amenities yet you’d never know it standing here.
6 Hillview Drive is a rare and genuinely exciting offering. This character home, moved to site in 1960 and sitting on 6.2 hectares (just over 15 acres), has the kind of bones and land size that simply don’t come around anymore. But what truly sets this property apart and what no amount of money or persistence can easily replicate is the DA for a 24 kennel boarding license. Kennel approvals are one of the hardest use-approvals to obtain from council anywhere in South East Queensland. Neighbours, noise regulations, setback requirements, and environmental factors all conspire to make them near impossible to secure from scratch. Here, the hard work is already done. The existing kennel infrastructure is in place, the approval is held, and the pathway exists to potentially scale up to 120 kennels with additional infrastructure and council approval. For the right buyer, whether an animal lover, a business operator, or an investor eyeing a growing industry, this is a commercial asset wrapped inside a lifestyle property.
The character home itself sits proudly on the block, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple living spaces, and a large rear deck that overlooks the backyard and a huge dam, the kind of outlook that makes the morning coffee ritual genuinely something to look forward to. A second dam sits to the left of the home, adding both practical water storage and visual appeal to the landscape. Multiple paddocks are ready for horses or livestock, and the infrastructure on site, including a large shed, two carports, and generous under house storage which means there is room and functionality for whatever lifestyle or enterprise you choose to pursue here.
Right across the road, a public reserve with motorbike tracks and hiking trails adds yet another dimension to daily life here, the kind of bonus that reminds you this pocket of Muirlea genuinely has it all. Properties like this are not just rare, they are in the truest sense of the word, unrepeatable. The land size, the suburb, the lifestyle, and above all, that kennel approval. 6 Hillview Drive is the kind of opportunity that demands to be taken seriously.
