A character packed place to call home, here on 5.3 acres, with paddocks galore, a separate flat, sheds, decks and privacy. Our owner currently has 3 horses on the property with abundant natural feed.

We estimate the main house was built around 100 years ago and then probably moved out to Cedar Vale from one of the Brisbane suburbs. So, 11′ ceilings feature in part, deep skirtings will be found and of course timber floor boards. The NBN connection is a useful modern addition and for peace of mind, this home is on concrete stumps.

Unusually for a house of this type, it’s wheel chair friendly, having been positioned on a gentle slope resulting in a level entry point on one side, and then sloping to allow for more living space under the house. Clever. Useful.

Water is important and in addition to the large main Dam which you’ll pass on arrival, there are two more as well and as you might expect the Dam water can be moved around the paddocks thanks to irrigation points and a pump.

There’s a separate flat out there as well – more about that in a minute.

The main house has 3 – 4 bedrooms depending on how you want to use the space, of which only three are currently in use as bedrooms. One is currently configured as an additional lounge area which opens out through French doors onto a private deck, which the owners use extensively and for good reason as you’ll see.

The winter chill is handled by the combustion heater and the summer sun, is kept in check with the large air-con unit which cools the living areas.

The family bathroom has been renovated in recent times, but in all other respects this home presents a very pleasing patina, completely in keeping with its surroundings – a breath of fresh air for the astute buyer.

The large back deck gives access down to the lower level, where you’ll find a large living area, a bar area, toilet and laundry, so quite a few options on how best to use the space. Ideal for the moody teen, or perhaps a home office, or craft room. Lots of options.

Plenty of paddocks out there, about 8 in total, with good fertile soil all of which combine to easily support the 3 horses already here. You’ll find a food shed, a tack shed, 2 lots of double stables, a small timber round yard, a sand arena and various other sheds and enclosures including a large powered 12m x 7.5m shed, with shelving and benches in place. An extensive array of fruit trees and mature trees and shrubs complete the authentic country picture.

The flat that I mentioned earlier, has been used as living space in years gone by and it’s surprisingly substantial, being of block construction with a laundry, bathroom and toilet. It even has its own hot water system. Perhaps the bones of a more substantial project – you be the judge.

So, if that authentic country charm and taste of yesteryear have so far eluded you, then an inspection here would be an interesting experience and the perfect choice if you too value your horses.
