Not only does this property have a lovely high set Queenslander home to live in, it also has 16.00 hectares (40 acres) with many different areas to enjoy.
With Council approval, soon to be polished floors compliment the newly painted three bedroom home. Moved onto the property, originally from Mt. Perry, the house was rewired and re-roofed when moved around 1990. External walls are weatherboard and internal walls are gyprock and pine paneling. With a lovely big pantry, the kitchen gives you the option of cooking on the gas stove/oven or on the wood stove. This wood stove helps the slow combustion wood heater keep the house cosy in the cooler months. Some of the home has insect screens and through breezes keep the open plan kitchen, dining and huge lounge room cool.
The three bedrooms are large with two of them having built-in wardrobes. Currently the sun room is being used as an office and there is enough room in roof cavity to build an attic. Bathroom and toilet are separate and the laundry is located in the shed for insurance purposes. Under the house is where the ride-on and boat live. The verandah is lovely and caters for those of us who enjoy sitting outdoors.
Mains power is connected and water is collected in a 5,000 gallon concrete tank and a 2,500 gallon fibreglass tank. A 60 litre hot water system supplies hot water. Gardens are irrigated from the dam behind the home which has a firefighter to pump the water to 6 taps located around the house. In addition, a concrete tank on the shed gravity feeds the garden and grey water is not wasted and also gets used on the garden.
Cashew and pecan nut, various stone fruit, apple, pear, loquat, white mulberry, chocolate pudding and jaboticaba trees make up the orchard and there are 20 to 30 Neem trees scattered around the home. Another 2 dams are located at the front of the property.
In addition to the storage shed, there is a 2 bay carport, a 6m x 6m shed and a 5m x 3m shade house which is irrigated. There is also a pig pen.
The driveway and house yard is fenced and the property is divided into 2 paddocks which are fenced with 4 strand wire except for 400m which is 3 strand, and there is a lane to the stockyards.
