BOONAH
Views, seclusion and eco-tourism potential - all within an hour of Brisbane
Your own private hilltop makes the perfect backdrop to relax and enjoy the twinkling lights of nearby Boonah township by night, take in a sunset over the great Dividing Range or enjoy watching the morning mist cradle mountain tops as far as the eye can see to the east and north.
This magical 160 acres of elevated sweet scrub country is the ideal blend of lifestyle and quality grazing. Build your own new home, live in the existing artistic quarters or even use it as a stunning weekender to escape to the country and possibly build later.
Already onsite are two accommodation spaces. The main building is an architecturally inspired, 20 x 9m steel space, with an additional generous verandah. A feature brick wall divides a large storage section from a simple but playful light-filled living area, which blends inside with out through clever use of large pivot windows and other generous openings.
The second separate, secluded cottage is perfect for guest accommodation or as a future tourist cabin. The Scenic Rim's increasing popularity as a short-break destination means this property's numerous secluded nooks with views are well set to create the perfect country retreat/farm stay.
Through the drought, this property carried 50-head of cattle, although pastures are well rested now. It has been run under organic principles for the past two years.
Other features:
As-new infrastructure, mostly purchased and installed within the last two years. Significant attention to detail.
Sought-after north-east aspect with emphasis on sustainable design - passive solar construction with large eves, slab on ground, adjustable through-flow ventilation, use of no or low voc materials, composting toilets and thermal-break insulation to all roof and walls
As-new large wood combustion heater
Two simple solar power systems for lighting and basic appliances
48,000 litres of stored tank water
Three good dams, with syphon feeds to grazing areas
Ideal combination of two-thirds grazing and one third forest/vine scrub country.
Perimeter fencing, machinery shed and original timber yards (in working condition)
Good size vegetable gardens with some young fruit trees
Property is a short drive to the thriving township of Boonah. This character-filled town boasts four pubs; a selection of quality cafes; an array of butchers, fruit shops and other speciality shops; two primary schools (one private); a high school; it's own hospital and a golf course.
