The old world charm of local railway history has been lovingly restored and repurposed in a beautiful country setting.
Set on just over 42 acres of versatile riverfront farming land in the Scotchy Pocket district is the former Gundiah Station Master’s residence. The hardwood structure has recently been re-roofed and re-clad, with ceiling and wall insulation added for your comfort.
As you enter from the enormous under cover entertaining area, adjacent the 9m x 4m saltwater pool, you are immediately struck by the use of local product in this abundantly comfortable family home. The kitchen, dining room and main lounge run the full length of the rear of the residence. The Anderleigh Slate floor gives the look of a bygone era and warming timbers have been utilised in the construction of walls and cabinetry. This area is serviced by reverse cycle air-conditioning and a wood heater for the cool winter evenings. The main bathroom is at the end, complete with the spa bath for a delightful refresh after a long day in the paddock.
Climb the three steps to the old part of the house and you are immediately struck by the Cyprus Pine flooring, gleaming in the sunshine. Two light and airy bedrooms are on this level, along with the formal lounge. A bi fold door conceals the walk-in robe which leads to the ensuite.
Off the kitchen is the newly constructed laundry and an additional bedroom, currently used as an office. The newly re floored verandah runs the full length of the front, looking across the gardens to the Mary River and the rich farmland to which it gives life.
Across the lawn is a further self-contained accommodation area. This was the old Tamaree Station building and has been repurposed into two bedrooms, bathroom and lounge/dining area.
Plenty of storage here for your cars and machinery. A 3 bay garage, 15 x 12 machinery and 6 x 6 workshop. Two haysheds of 18 x 10 and 15 x 9. Stable area, stockyards with crush, headbale and ramp, and pig or chicken pen.
For the green thumb there is an established fern house that has been used for the most beautiful orchids, a fenced vegetable garden and multi-species fruit orchard (including 65 Mangoes, citrus, pecans and Bananas), all with timer- controlled watering systems.
Water is provided by 60,000 litres of rainwater. There is a 4 megalitre irrigation license from the Mary River and a Riparian license for stock and domestic use.
This is reticulated with a 5.5kw, 3 phase irrigation pump via underground mains to cover 90% of the property.
This property was previously used for hay production and currently for cattle grazing. Just 5 minutes from Primary School and only 25 kilometres from High School and Shopping.
