This gorgeous property is not just a home; it is a conversation piece and a better way of life. As the saying goes "There is no place like home". Let's start from the beginning.
Highway frontage comes with many bonuses this property has two options both straight off the Highway, one North and one South. Another added convenience of this superb position. You are literally 17 minutes from Gladstone and 7 minutes to Calliope.
As you enter, gently winding through the lush front paddock, up the rise to the grand old Queenslander that sits pride of place on the hill accompanied by two good farm sheds ad surrounded by nostalgia. The charm of this package takes you back to yesteryear. You can feel the stress of the day disappear.
Traditional wide verandahs surround the main body of the home. Wherever you decide to sit the view is magnificent.
Wanting to decorate in a unique fashion the property has a distressed look, and the result is amazing. Traditional tongue and groove walls, wide floorboards and soaring ceilings are also on show, taking you back to a time gone by. Shall we go inside?
The kitchen is located at the rear and offers wall oven, gas cooktop, pantry, overhead cabinetry, 1 ½ bowl sink, ceiling fan and for a touch of modern convenience, a dishwasher. A functional kitchen that will feed your family for years to come.
Family bathroom is located opposite with gorgeous clawfoot bath with exposed plumbed shower. Devine. Vanity and toilet. For convenience a second toilet is on the verandah.
The open living room has French doors leading to the verandahs and has a relaxed atmosphere and warmth that can't be described.
