This unique property is located on the top of Mount Berryman, the mountain after which the district has been named. The property is 79.01 ha (195.23acres) and 400 meters above sea level, located SW of Brisbane and is the same distance from the Brisbane CBD as is Broadbeach on the Gold Coast.
The property is an L shaped block and from the cabin site at the top of the mountain there is complete privacy and none of the neighbours’ houses can be seen. The road from the front gate to the cabin is 1.3 km long, finishing at the highest point of Mt Berryman, which sits between 2 valleys. The Mulgowie valley is on the east and Blenheim Valley on the west.
Views from the top are spectacular, a picturesque view of Mulgowie farmlands to the east and distant mountain views to the northwest overlooking Gatton and the Lockyer valley. The southern ranges are a real stand-out.
Laidley is only 15 minutes away with a hospital, police station, ambulance, high school, primary school, churches and a good variety of shops and supermarkets.
A genuine and well – built log cabin has solar power and a Telstra installed remote area tower on the property provides access to a reliable telephone and broadband Internet service. There are also 59000 litres of rainwater storage and then an additional 45000 litres of dam water stored in tanks for stock and domestic watering. Behind the cabin is located a large single room which adjoins a bathroom, toilet and laundry area all powered by the solar system. Behind this structure is a new industrial quality workshop that is 15M x 13M with 4 bays and 3 roller doors. A Lincoln Weld and Power unit supplies 3 kva backup for the solar system. Behind the workshop is a set of cattle yards complete with head bale. The cabin site overlooks 2 plateaus, both of which are frost free because of their elevation.
The property is currently set up for cattle fattening with 12 strip graze paddocks, 3 dams, 4 permanent water troughs, plus 1 mobile trough. 19 hydrants offer protection to pasture improved with a mix of kikuyu, green panic, paspalum, callide rhodes and siratro. The property has carried up to 50 head in the past. From dam number 3 dam a 63 mm class 12 polypipe line connects 3 dams to tanks at the top of the mountain. 19 hydrants are located along this pipeline with up to 175psi pressure.
A property of this type rarely comes on the market. With rapid population growth, such a property will only get harder to find.
Words do not do this property justice.
