Set on 397.4* hectares just 2* hours from Brisbane, "Braeside" is not just another working cattle property. The current owners have transformed the property with new fencing, steel cattle yards and outstanding water infrastructure, including bores and high-volume dams.
The famed Braeside Homestead, at around 150 years old, is centred around extensive gardens that are looped by Turner Creek. Cobb & Co once brought the children home from school through the gates and along the cobblestone driveways. The same cobblestones will see you in Warwick in just a short 20-minute* drive.
Braeside is a "significant part of Australia's rural heritage". It's one of the original settler homes, on a pastoral run taken up by families who pioneered the cattle and sheep industry in Australia.
There are three main accommodations:
• Braeside Residence
• Braeside Homestead
• Braeside Cottage
Other buildings include:
• Manager's Residence
• Farm office
• Machinery shed and workshop
Water:
• Main irrigation dam
• Six other dams
• Three bores
• Gravity-fed troughs in all paddocks
• Turner Creek
• Fully computer-controlled irrigated gardens
The property is easily managed and runs around 150 cows and calves in 8 main paddocks and several smaller holding paddocks. The owners have modernised with low-stress livestock handling facilities. Easy mustering and yard facilities have seen an increase in productivity and value.
Braeside Homestead and Braeside Cottage (the original kitchen for the station) are now available for overnight stays. Visitors can spend hours and days roaming the expansive landscaped gardens, discovering native sights and sounds along the property's walking tracks, relaxing in the spa, swimming in the pool or the creek, or nestling around a crackling open fire. Over 450 roses provide a unique colour and scent throughout the grounds and amplify the hues and shapes of the 12 acres of manicured botanical gardens.
"Braeside is a legendary piece of Australia's past, having been owned by pioneering families. It is a remarkable property, beautifully transformed and maintained by the owners for future generations to come. It's a property you take into trust and ownership."
