The phone enquiry code for this property is - 5378
Well maintained four bedroom council-approved house on 62 acres. This rural lifestyle property has more seclusion and more water than most.
The photos here were taken after several months of drought. Many more photos and further information can be viewed in the seller's own website. Please message the seller to request the URL.
The house is lowset, with steel stumps, steel frame, hardiplank cladding and colorbond roof. It has a kitchen/living room, pantry, four bedrooms, large study, bathroom with shower and toilet, laundry with second toilet. All bedrooms have BIRs. All windows have curtains or blinds. Half of the carpets are new. New smoke alarms. New 250 litre electric water heater on a "super economy" tariff 31 meter.
25' x 40' zincalum shed. 3m x 3m zincalum garden shed. Other small sheds. Cattle yards in good condition, with a ramp.
The dwelling is exceptionally quiet and secluded, isolated from the rest of the world both indoors and outdoors, with a ridge and many trees and 800 metres separating the house from the road.
This property has more water than most blocks in this area. Three 5000 gallon aquaplate water tanks (those who are unfamiliar with "aquaplate" should search the web). Two large gully dams, both with large catchments and durable spillways. One small dam. An underground pipeline enables water to be pumped from one of the dams to an irrigated paddock and to standpipes as far as the house. A good bore has water of good drinking quality. The bore currently has a hand-operated winch and has sufficient capacity for a pump. The two large gully dams have the potential to be used together as a pumped hydro system that could be topped up with borewater whenever there has been little rain.
Fully fenced, with internal fences dividing the property into seven paddocks. Many tracks provide access throughout the block.
Much woodland. Some cleared areas, including the area surrounding the house. Some semi-cleared areas with shade trees. Some regrowth areas. Some areas have protected vegetation, some areas have unprotected vegetation. This property has a PMAV (Property Map of Assessable Vegetation). Very few lifestyle properties in this area have a PMAV, partly because PMAVs are expensive to obtain. A PMAV allows a property owner to grow trees in an unprotected area without the risk that the new trees might become protected. Vegetation maps and PMAVs for all properties can be viewed online in the state government's "Queensland Globe" website.
There are many types of trees, mainly ironbark, wattle, white myrtle and gums. Several dozen drought-resistant gumbi-gumbi trees are dotted about the property, always looking green. An orchard paddock with a mesh fence contains olive trees and two macadamia trees.
All the diverse types of wildlife that are found in this region either live on this property or visit it.
In the early 1990's, previous owners operated this property as a commercial smallcrops farm. Since then, the property has been maintained as a private parkland, sometimes with a few cattle. Some of the possible uses for this property include keeping cattle or horses, and growing crops or trees in the irrigated paddock and orchard. Or just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Located in the west of the South Burnett region, 20 kms from Durong, 70 kms from Kingaroy, 215 kms from Toowoomba, 280 kms from Brisbane.
Electricity - connected.
4G mobile phone and internet - Optus has good reception throughout the block, including inside the house. A new Optus 4G tower was recently erected in the area. Telstra has good reception in some parts of the block, and apparently has plans for improving its service.
A Telstra landline and NBN Skymuster satellite broadband are connected, although they are no longer necessary because 4G is now available.
List of included chattels (negotiable).
