This grand old Homestead was built from local timbers by the Pringle Pioneers in 1904 taking thirteen years to build the original house now extended to a massive 505sqm under roof area. “Kananbie” was the original dairy farm in Kobble Creek and still stands in it’s original position but now on a gentle 5.3acres bounded by Kobble Creek itself.
In its’ day the farm house served many purposes, it’s history being documented in the Samford museum, including hosting the local church services, and both the telephone exchange and local postal services were also run from the property.
The house itself is steeped in character with a unique and expansive layout, extended and renovated tastefully blending the old with all the modern luxuries. The old pioneers knew how to build a Queenslander to take in the breezes on the covered Breezeway allowing the morning winter sun to flood the North Eastern wrap around decks, whilst planting beautiful mature and private gardens to the Western side with Bunya Pine, Jacaranda and Fig trees to protect from the Western sun.
Outdoor living is a way of life here under the huge covered breezeway with bi-fold doors opening out onto the Reading room and French doors leading into the bespoke timber kitchen with Rosieres double stove.
Stay warm in winter with the huge old brick fireplace in the lounge dining room complete with a woodburner and there is plenty of reverse cycle air conditioning throughout the rest of the home.
There are 4 double bedrooms, the master having both a walk in robe and built in robe with 2 further ensuites plus a downstairs bathroom as well.
Downstairs there is a modern laundry with flagstone floor and laundry shute, large games room, big workshop and a double lock up garage.
With it’s own picturesque creek and swimming hole, bore and dam this horse friendly property has ample water throughout.
Relax in total privacy in the 100 year old gardens in one of the many private seating areas. Surrounded by walkways meandering through the shrubbery you may spot the old features of yesteryear still standing such as the old Butter Shed and the Double Dunny.
This is a unique property, a truly remarkable and extremely comfortable Queenslander. Come and fall in love with this much loved family home and be a part of its’ evolving history!
