This is one of the most original Queenslanders we’ve come across, with its very own story to tell and plenty of modern touches.
Built in the 1930s, this was originally the Station Masters house in Yandina, and was moved to its current site in Traveston in 1996.
With so many original features, such as high ceilings, VJ walls and ceilings, and painted timber floors, this one is True Blue! Especially when you stand and gaze out through those original timber-framed windows and louvres, as so many other generations have done before you.
This lovely home, on nearly 30 fully-fenced acres, and features a near-new, country-style kitchen with solid timber bench tops, dishwasher, gas cook top and breakfast bar.
The open-plan L-shaped lounge/dining room is welcoming, and warm in winter with its wood fire heater.
Wraparound verandahs on three sides allow lovely breezes to flow through in summer, while a 2.5kw solar set-up will save you money.
There are three bedrooms – two with robes – plus an enclosed sunroom, perfect as extra living space or a home office.
This very original beauty is set back from the road for peace and privacy, and the land is elevated, almost flat.
The front of the property has been cleared, with several lovely shade trees, ideal for the current tenants’ horses.
The rest of the land is timbered and would suit many hobbies, including bird-watching, horse riding or motor bike riding.
This large acreage includes five dams, a creek and four rainwater tanks, two fenced horse paddocks and a handy fenced house yard.
An impressive circular driveway delivers you to the front door, where you’ll discover parking for four cars under the house.
And yes, it is the legal height to build in underneath and double the size. What a bonus!
But wait, there’s even more. There’s a shed – and not just any shed! This one has lock-up accommodation for two cars plus an enclosed studio, with internal and external entry, lined ceiling and walls – and air-conditioning!
There’s a walk-in, walk-out stable for your horses, with a holding yard and feed shed.
Very neat and well presented inside and out, this lovely home is just five minutes from the shops and school in Cooran, and there’s quick access to the Bruce Highway to go north or south.
