This home is an oldie but a goldie and a goodie to boot. If only the walls could talk, what a story they would have to tell. Built around 1886 the home is located next to the ruins of the old Bauple Sugar Mill. The home has been well maintained to ward off the ravages of time with aluminium windows and concrete stumps and has been tastefully decorated to provide a warm and friendly country atmosphere. This property operated for a time as the Old Mill Bed and Breakfast, now days it is a comfortable rambling home. The home is lowset at the front allowing for easy ground level access from the garage while taking advantage of the sloping grounds to provide for good head height access under the rear of the home for a workshop area or storage. The bedrooms and lounge are carpeted, the kitchen and dining room floors have cork tiles, the bathroom and laundry are tiled and the enclosed verandah sheet vinyl coverings. All floor coverings and window furnishings are in good order as is the internal and external paint work. The main part of the home is air-conditioned and has ceiling fans throughout.
This home has a number of future uses, a country retreat or a comfortable home for a large family just to name a few.
Bauple is a small town, just south of Tiaro in South Burnett. Bauple is a picturesque town, with Mount Bauple dominating the skyline and endless fields of green sugar cane that patchwork the landscape.
The property is located within walking distance of the Bauple State School, the Bauple Recreational Grounds and Scout Hall. Bauple has a resident doctor and plans are in place to compliment the current medical service with other allied medical professionals.
Bauple and Grassy Mountains are two prominent land features that create almost a picture postcard backdrop to the rural landscape.
A unique feature near the rear of this property, extending in an arc from the southeast to the southwest, is a Wetland Management Area with abundant bird life with resident jabiru, brolgas and swans and is home for platypus and other aquatic animals. Wetland Management Areas are scientifically identified as being essential flora and fauna habitats providing refuges for a wide range of wildlife, including migratory birds and many threatened species.
