Grand colonial Vacy Hall (925 m2) sits in nearly an acre of gardens (3911 m2) and is only 500 metres from the Toowoomba city centre, it has 6 ensuited bedrooms and a fully renovated 3-bedroom cottage (151 m2).

The grand and imposing architecture is the legacy of innovative design in 1899 by the acclaimed father and son team of architects James and Harry Marks.
Vacy Hall is a work of art as much as a triumph of architecture. Craftsmanship is evident in ornate solid plasterwork, golden crows-ash floors, an elaborate leadlight cedar door set, original parquetry floors, and tuck-pointed brickwork and stone-masonry arches over every door and window lintel. Expansive verandahs wrap around 8 sides, bringing beautiful light and sightlines from the gardens to 7 reception rooms/snugs/offices/activity/library/music/home theatre rooms, rich in classic character, featuring beautiful red cedar architraves, doors, step through bay window seats and double-hung casement windows. Vacy Hall has 9 individually crafted working fireplaces.

By including a passive thermal tower, the acclaimed sustainability architect Harry Marks gave Vacy Hall ecco design credentials generations ahead of its time.

The history of heritage listed Vacy Hall is woven into the rural, cultural and political life of Queensland. Having hosted numerous governors general, premiers, and chief justices, the famous bushman RM Williams while planning the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame, the famous aviator Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, as well as being a family home to Gilbert Cory, a former mayor of Toowoomba and leading pastoralist for over 50 years, Vacy Hall has remained true to its origins as one of Queensland’s finest historic federation homes.

After nearly 18 years of stewardship which has included a full roof replacement, upgrading all central heating and air conditioning, upgrading plumbing, power boards, garden feature lighting, structural landscaping, and a comprehensive ongoing maintenance program the owner of Vacy Hall is leaving this property in superb condition.

The opportunity also exists to purchase an adjoining block of land of 792m2.
The lifestyle afforded by this location is exceptional. There are very few other cities in Australia where it is possible to a buy a significant landmark historic home like Vacy Hall where you can walk to over 125 cafs, bars, restaurants, pubs and theatres.
