The epitome of the relaxed lifestyle that comes with living in a classic, country-style Queenslander. This gorgeous 1960’s home is packed with unique character and charm, standing tall and proud over the canefields on a generous 1440m2 block. A great selection of upgrades have been made in recent years for the comfort and convenience of your busy family, without tarnishing the rich history or reliable original foundations this home boasts.
Engulfed in beautiful flora and easy-care established gardens, giving off a relaxed atmosphere consistent with the semi-rural location, this home has one neighbour and backs onto canefield that will make you feel like you own all the land to the river & beyond without the upkeep! Once you enter via the Colorbond fence at the front boundary, you’ll feel as though you’re stepping into a farmhouse oasis. With above-ground pool, sprawling fully fenced backyard, single powered shed to store the boat and plenty of spots to lounge in the shade including an adorable gazebo, this house is ready for you to make your home.
The generous floor plan spanning across 2 levels will effortlessly accommodate your growing family. The home’s 4 bedrooms are separated into an intuitive arrangement of a minor bedroom wing downstairs and master bedroom upstairs, meaning the kids have their own fun while you indulge in some precious downtime. Despite how nice the quiet moments will be, a highlight of your lifestyle here will be bringing everyone together for a BBQ out on the huge, covered timber deck. Eat, drink and laugh in the cool, slightly sweet scented breeze as the sun sets on your iconic view of the Pleystowe Sugar Mill.
Why we LOVE this home…
