Bottle Tree is a 557 acre (225.71 Ha) cattle property located approximately 20 minutes drive west from the township of Kilcoy. The property is principally undulating to hilly country which means that the effective grazing area is far greater than the stated 557 acres. The majority of the land is cleared, however there is good shade and shelter timber for livestock. A good supply of fence posts can be sourced from the ironbark trees. Pastures are predominately native pastures which include couch grass, blue grass, spear grass, and kangaroo grass. The property has double frontage to Spring Creek plus another semi-permanent creek/gully with springs. There is a reliable bore that has been sunk to a depth of 20 feet with a pumping capacity of 3,000 gallons per hour. The bore water is of high quality and is pumped to a 3,000 gallon tank and gravity fed to stock troughs and the garden around the house.
The house is only 18 months old and was constructed by Sea Point Homes of Redcliffe. The home is fully insulated, has 9 foot ceilings and a large outdoor covered entertaining area, the ideal spot to escape the hot summer sun. On the other side of the house there is a high clearance carport.
The lounge, kitchen and dining area is a large open plan design that has distinctive sliding stacker doors that open back from the corners of the room so as to gain maximum air flow through the home. A feature of the room is the imported Esse slow combustion wood stove with twin hot plates, ideal for all styles of cooking. The kitchen is the latest in design with drawer storage, stone bench tops, gas stove, double sinks and an ice maker fridge.
The home has 3 bedrooms all with built-ins plus sliding doors to the outside. The main has a walk through robe with sliding mirrored doors, a two way bathroom with shower and bath plus a separate toilet. The laundry is a European design with frontend loader and large laundry sink. There is an inground pool with attractive LED lighting (a favourite with the kids). The pool is fully fenced and has direct access from the main bedroom. A timber deck which overlooks the pool has a large engineer designed umbrella which can be swivelled around to shade either the deck or the pool. A great place to cool off in the hot summer months.
Water for the house is obtained from two 5,000 gallon (27,000 litres) rain water tanks. Another 5,000 gallon tank is also connected to the shed.
The new truck/hay shed (13 x 12m) has a 6 meter high clearance entry for the largest of machinery. The owners lived in the shed while the home was being built so there is a shower, laundry, toilet and classic wooden stove plus an outdoor kitchen. The roof is insulated for summer comfort.
Adjacent to the shed is the old diary which has been recently had the roof replaced. The stockyards are old, but still very functional with a plunge dip, steel head bale and loading ramp.
Fencing is predominately four strand barb and wooden posts. 3 kilometres of new fencing has been constructed.
Adjacent to the yards are two poultry pens where the current owners ran a business of 500 laying free range ducks. The two yards are still very functional complete with bulk grain silo and automatic watering system. New owners could easily establish another poultry business with turkeys, Guinea fowl, pheasants, heritage poultry or even ducks.
Schools are located at Harlin and Kilcoy.
Located 75 minutes to the Sunshine Coast and 90 minutes to the CBA Brisbane, this property is a quality property that has all the right attributes to ensure that the new owners have a quality lifestyle plus the ability to earn a good income.
