QUEENSLANDER - PICTURE POSTCARD SETTING

* 5 acres
* 4 bedrooms
* 2 bathrooms
* 2 living areas
* Wraparound verandahs

When the current owners built this grand reproduction Queenslander in 2003, they wanted to create not only a beautiful and functional home for their family in a peaceful, rural location, but one that would effortlessly adapt to the changing seasons. Sitting at the end of a private, tree bordered driveway and overlooking two of the original Smiths Farm outbuildings that remain on the property, it’s hard to believe that you’re only 7 minutes away from the heart of Samford Village.

French doors to all living areas and bedrooms open to wide verandahs that wrap around the home, allowing spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and cooling breezes to be enjoyed at any time of day. With a choice of year round outdoor entertaining areas, from a formal rotunda ideal for swish dinner parties, to an enormous deck with pitched roof that will host the largest of gatherings, there is a perfect space for any occasion.

This lush 5 acre property benefits from an exceptional water supply with a productive bore, dam and multiple large water storage tanks that service the house, salt-water pool, outbuildings and also run irrigation systems; a feature that is vitally important for keen gardeners and those with livestock.

This well designed home in its picturesque setting offers plenty of room to grow your own food, start a hobby farm or experience a lifestyle with a little less pace and a greater emphasis on self-sufficiency.
