Area: 61.44 ha/148.5 acres
This dual purpose farm serves as a horse agistment acreage with a cattle fattening sideline and is located just 21 km south of Toowoomba, in the picturesque Darling Downs. With extensive functional infrastructure, this dual purpose farm comes with 2 farmhouses which are in excellent condition.
Toowoomba, merely 15-20 minutes away, has excellent schools, a university, an airport, 150 parks, Clifford Park Racecourse, and everything necessary to cater to its nearly 160,000 residents. The charming town of Cambooya, with its landmark pub, is less than 10 minutes.
The Homestead
The homestead has 2 beautifully maintained wooden houses. The larger house, once a butter factory, has been tastefully refurbished and now features 3 spacious bedrooms, a dining room and separate breakfast room on either side of the kitchen, a sunroom with adjoining TV room, study and sewing room. The bathroom is centrally located with an additional toilet next to the laundry. An airy veranda offers views of the countryside and overlooks the enjoyable solar-heated swimming pool and spa.
The smaller second house is as neat as a pin. Also boasting 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, it has the old world charm with high ceilings and timber features. Two rooms are air conditioned.
Both houses are in perfect, move in condition. There is a double garage and separate workshop between the houses.
Farm Infrastructure
The front half of the property is set up for horses and the back half for cattle. In the recent past, the property has accommodated +60 horses and a Brahman cattle stud.
There is a 4-bay Colorbond shed (approximately 18m x 12m) which is suitable for farm vehicles, floats and machinery. An old style purposeful stable block has 8 lined stables, a tack room, 2 tie-ups and a wash bay. There are 5 yards that lead off of the stables.
Next to the stables is a 60m x 20m floodlit grassed riding arena, an 8 horse walking machine, a sand roll, a superb large dual breaking-in round yard and 7 small agistment paddocks (40m x 40m and 80m x 50m). On the other side of the homestead is the feed shed and 4 breaking-in yards. A very well planned system of laneways makes easy transference from one area to another.
Along either side of the entry driveway are 2 enormous paddocks. The back half of the acreage has 3 very large paddocks with contour banks to direct water into the dam.
The fencing is in very good condition. The set-up for cattle includes 5 separate yards, with shelters and stockyards.
Farm Water Supply
There is one dam in the back paddock. Two bores (a stock bore and an irrigation bore) provide high quality drinking water and there are numerous rainwater tanks, as well.
This truly is a dual purpose farm worthy of inspection. You will be impressed!
