Country Retreat, Spectacular Outlook & Creekside Living on 5.4 Acres
Imagine standing on the elevated, spacious verandas, taking in the breathtaking views of the Lockyer Creek valleys. Enjoy a morning coffee, share a meal, or simply sit back, gaze at the gorgeous sunset, and listen to the deep, snorting calls of koalas. This Patrick Estate property offers the perfect foundations for your very own special rural retreat.
The charming queenslander home exudes a welcoming country feel, featuring rustic natural timber entry stairs, traditional wall panelling, french doors and high ceilings. The kitchen showcases live-edge timber benchtops, a servery window opening on to the rear veranda, a breakfast bar and a spacious formal dining area. The separate lounge offers a cosy retreat, conveniently located alongside three generously sized bedrooms. Air conditioning provides year-round comfort.
The powered colorbond shed is well equipped with a kitchenette, gas stove, air conditioned utility room and mezzanine level. It also features a creek-facing outdoor barbecue area, making it ideal for entertaining while enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Additional space provides ample room for car parking, storage and workshop activities.
The property is already set up for keeping chooks and pigs, while the fertile paddock can comfortably accommodate two horses or cattle. Enjoy the rewards of homegrown produce from the established fruit trees, with a wonderful variety including red dragon fruit, mango, nectarine, banana, pomelo, finger lime, kaffir lime, orange, lemon, loquat, white and black mulberry, passion fruit, pineapple, pomegranate and cotton candy berry. With such a diverse selection, there is plenty for the family to enjoy throughout the year.
Adding to the appeal is a large, enclosed area previously used as a vegetable garden, ready to be brought back to life for growing your own fresh produce.
There is plenty to explore here. Wander into the paddock and be amazed by the iconic giant river red gums, standing tall against the rural landscape. Down by the creek, vehicle access leads to a peaceful waterside setting, perfect for relaxed afternoons enjoying nature.
