If you're looking for a tranquil lifestyle on a 34 acre timbered block where you can run a few horses or cattle, have a vegetable garden or add to the existing fruit trees, this property is for you! In addition to an architect-designed 3-bedroom brick and tile home, there's a 2-bedroom partly furnished cottage (perfect as a 'granny flat', and Council-approved as a residence or business).
The main house (185 sq.m.) has an open-plan kitchen and living area (a friendly family space with reverse cycle aircon for summer and an open fireplace for cosy winter evenings). For more formal entertaining, a dining room, lounge and bar (all with high exposed beam ceilings) face a delightful indoor atrium. The main bedroom has aircon, ensuite and walk-in robe. The other 2 bedrooms have built-ins. If you enjoy a relaxing bath, the family bathroom has that option.
The house and cottage each have a carport, insect screens, rainwater tank and rural water connection. The cottage (100 sq.m.) was recently a naturopath's clinic, but if used as a residence it has 2 bedrooms, 2 living areas, kitchen, bathroom and laundry, with reverse cycle aircon in 2 rooms.
60 metres from the house is a 2-bay lockup shed/garage and powered workshop (perfect for the handyman). The property is fully fenced and has two dams and a small horse/cow yard, plus a chook pen with covered roost. The previous owner had an extensive vegetable garden, and an orchid collection in a large Shadehouse (wind damaged, but pipe framework can be easily restored and covered).
To keep your Furry Friend safe while it settles in, a DoggieDoor leads from the house to a small pen at the end of the carport.
There are mail delivery and garbage collection services. The school bus passes the front gate, plus it is only 700m to the bus stop for Ipswich-Fernvale-Lowood bus service.
Fernvale (with a supermarket, coffee shops, medical services and other amenities) is only 5 minutes away, and yet the feel of this block is 'country'. The large cleared house site is elevated, and enjoys cooling breezes in summer and beautiful views of hills and sunsets. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of bird life and even an occasional koala! The nearby Rail Trail is ideal for riding or walking, and there's a tennis court just waiting to be restored.
As a hobby farm, retirement haven or a home to raise a family, this property is a rare gem. Only 25 minutes from Ipswich, an hour from Brisbane and 90 minutes from the Gold Coast, but with the peace and outdoor opportunities of rural life! Enquire now to book a private inspection.
