Enjoy Your Own Slice of Heaven
Beautifully renovated and strategically positioned Queenslander on 32 fertile acres 12 of which are elevated, grassy acres overlooking the additional 20 acres of rich productive creek flats, in picturesque Laidley Creek valley - a land flowing with milk and honey and deemed to be one of the richest agricultural valleys in the world! Magnificent views over property; also, to Mt Castle (25kms to south) and surrounding irrigated farmland and bordering ranges.
Entry to the property is via a canopy of majestic date palms with jacarandas lining
the gently rising 80 metre concrete driveway
to the homestead, 3 bay carport and a huge
barn with office and stable facilities.
The recently renovated Queenslander consists of 4 bedrooms (3 opening onto a verandah through colonial glass doors); 2 bathrooms (incl. ensuite); separate toilet; generous open-plan living areas opening
onto verandahs on 3 sides and a huge
undercovered patio; new laundry; and well-
appointed kitchen, with 5-burner gas
hotplates (glass rangehood), double ovens,
dishwasher, convection microwave, and
expansive timber-slab bench-tops. A new wood heater/cooker (worth $5,000) has
also been installed including accessories.
The character of the original homestead has been retained with high ceilings, some original fretwork, and extensive polished
hoop-pine & hardwood timber flooring. It
has recently been restumped, replumbed, rewired, relined, reroofed, repainted (soon to be completed) - ready for you to relocate to!
There is 90,000 L of rainwater storage capacity contained in 4 tanks (2 at house & 2 at barn... all plumbed to the house). Also

Two dams and a domestic bore (used for stock) provide year round water supply for
cattle or horses. Mature, stately fig trees, gums and a pepperina tree provide shade to paddocks near the barn and a haven for birdlife. There are also a variety of fruit trees: oranges, lemons, lime, grapefruit, mandarins, lemonade, mulberry and bananas
The property's eastern boundary incorporates ½ km of tree-lined creek frontage providing a haven for relaxing, exploring the babbling stream or having a dip in one of the swimming holes.
