Description |
|
A passion for light-filled living and sustainability characterises this 160-acre retreat just an hour from Brisbane. The secluded hill-top setting is the perfect backdrop to relax and enjoy the twinkling lights of nearby Boonah township by night, take in a sunset over Queensland's great Dividing Range or watch the morning mist cradle mountain tops as far as the eye can see. All of this and the option to fatten cattle or horses on quality pastures.
Already onsite are two accommodation spaces. The main building is an
architecturally inspired, sustainably designed 20 x 9m, with an additional generous verandah. A brick feature wall divides the large storage section from a simple but playful light-filled living area,which blends inside with out through clever use of large eves, pivot windows and generous openings. Desirable north-south orientation and
a burnished concrete floor add to passive solar efficiency.
A second, separate, 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 placed to create the perfect country retreat/farm
stay or a stunning weekender to escape to the country and possibly
build later.
This elevated sweet scrub property - the ideal blend of lifestyle, forest and quality grazing - has been run under organic principles for the past two years.
It is a short drive to the thriving, character-filled township of Boonah, which 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.
