This much-loved rural property has, over the last 28 years, been regenerated from bare paddocks to a mostly treed wildlife refuge (Land for Wildlife accredited) and lifestyle retreat. The fully-fenced 70 acre property offers absolute privacy and security with hilltop views of Knapp Peak and a glimpse of Mt Barney. If you are looking to escape the rat race for your own silent retreat, this property is for you. The reluctant owner is selling for family reasons yet is willing to take the time to find the right buyer.
The property offers a variety of visitor and wildlife habitats and plant communities, with seasonal gullies, rocky outcrops, spring fed waterholes, a dam, open grassfields, regenerated forest, planted woodlots and wildlife corridors, as well as mostly native home gardens and mixed fruit tree orchards including citrus, sub-tropical fruit trees and bushfoods. Orchards are drip irrigated from 2×22,700L gravity-feed header tanks, filled from a dam and spring fed waterhole.
There is still plenty of room to expand and develop this unique property for the committed buyer, whether it’s planting more trees (free native trees through Scenic Rim Council and Land for Wildlife grants) and/or providing opportunities for visitors through farm stays/ camping/ cabins. The current owner sells home-made cordial and jams at local markets made solely from the produce grown on the property.
