Overview

Stunning home on 4.1 acres with views to die for and no...

Located in the superb South Burnett Region of Southeast Queensland, this uniquely beautiful property spans 4.1 acres (approximately 1.68 hectares) and is situated high atop the glorious Speedwell Range at 480 meters above sea level. The elevated position offers breathtaking views, stunning sunsets, and abundant wildlife, creating a serene and picturesque environment.

The charming home is nestled within a stunning parkland-style garden and is completely free from flood and frost risks. Known as Crows Ash View, the property overlooks the quaint rural village of Proston, located just 3 kilometers away. Nearby attractions include Boondooma Dam, 20 kilometers distant, and convenient rural drives to Murgon or Wondai within 25 minutes, Kingaroy in 45 minutes, the Sunshine Coast in 2.5 hours, and Brisbane in 3.5 hours.

The residence is a solid, low-set, 50-year-old chamferboard-clad home constructed from local hardwood timber, retaining its original strength and character. The living area covers 135 square meters and includes three bedrooms, two of which feature built-in robes. The bedrooms have had dated floor coverings removed, allowing the new owner to customize the flooring to their preference. There is one bathroom, renovated in 2016, and a well-appointed kitchen, updated in the late 2000s.

Under the common roof, there is a fully self-contained granny flat or teenage retreat, built in 2017. This separate living space includes a bedroom with built-in robes, a kitchenette/living area, and an ensuite bathroom. The main home features vinyl tile flooring, while the granny flat has wooden click-together planking.

Outdoor living is enhanced by a 25 square meter verandah on the south side and a large 100 square meter verandah facing north, perfect for enjoying the views and entertaining. The home is separately fenced for dogs, covering approximately 1,000 square meters (a quarter of an acre). The remainder of the property is enclosed with brand new four-line timber post fencing on the south side and renovated plain wire with wooden and steel posts on the northern boundary. Additional internal fencing would be required for keeping horses or other livestock.

The property is connected to mains power and includes a small 2.5 kW solar system, which could be significantly expanded on the north-facing verandah roof. There is ample space underneath for battery storage, offering the potential for a fully off-grid lifestyle. The home is wirelessly connected to the National Broadband Network (NBN) with excellent speeds, and there is line of sight to Telstra and Optus towers about 1 kilometer away, providing strong 4G coverage.

Work from home is easily accommodated in this peaceful setting. The home was professionally bond cleaned in April 2026.

Additional structures include two sheds: Shed 1 is a 6 by 6 meter colorbond-clad building with power and a fully concreted floor, featuring a large workbench and ample shelving. Attached is a 3.6 by 6 meter enclosed and concreted carport. Shed 2 measures 6.3 by 5.8 meters, constructed from solid timber and corrugated iron, with no power and a 50% concreted floor, currently used for firewood storage and parking. There is also a small garden shed for gardening equipment and chemical storage within the home compound.

The stunning garden attracts diverse wildlife and includes rare local trees such as Crows Ash and Silky Oak. A Japanese-style garden features a small waterfall, stream, bridge, and fountain. The grounds boast large Frangipanis in every color imaginable, drooping Poincianas that provide a spectacular spring display, towering Jacarandas, a giant Queensland Bottle Tree, paperbarks, grass trees, a towering Bunya Nut, Leopard Trees, huge Hoop and Norfolk Island pines, grevillias, and Queensland Blue Gums that support a semi-resident koala colony.

The property is home to koalas for approximately eight to nine months each year, offering the unique opportunity to observe joeys riding on their mothers' backs and hear the males fighting at night from the comfort of the verandah. Other native wildlife includes kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, goannas, and a wide variety of birdlife ranging from tame Willy Wagtails, Kookaburras, and Magpies to Regent Bowerbirds and Raptors.

The garden also features ten different fruit tree species, including mangoes, avocados, and jaboticaba. Within the house compound, there are three large raised vegetable garden beds. A covered BBQ area provides a perfect spot to enjoy the stunning views and sunsets.

Water supply is well managed with 22,000 liters of rainwater storage plumbed to the house, easily expandable. Additionally, the property is connected to the Proston Rural Water Scheme, sourced from nearby Boondooma Dam. This water is not potable but is suitable for grey and black water use and is extensively plumbed to the home and garden. The water cost is $1.97 per kilolitre (1,000 liters). Rates are approximately $1,200 per six months and include rural water usage.

Mail delivery occurs three days a week, and a school bus to Proston passes the front gate. Proston is a charming, immaculately maintained village of around 500 people, serving as a hub for surrounding areas. The town exudes old-world charm, with friendly locals and a recently renovated main street. Amenities include a visiting GP from Wondai every Thursday, a 24-hour manned ambulance station, schooling from kindergarten to year 10 (with years 11 and 12 in Murgon and daily bus service), the Golden Spurs Hotel, Spar Supermarket, post office and laundromat, library and council administration center, a well-stocked hardware store, chemist, coffee shop, hairdresser, a golf club with excellent meals on Friday nights, a bowling club with weekly events, pony club, rally club, annual town show in March, and the large Golden Spurs Campdraft event in April.

This is a genuine sale of a special, private, and beautiful property that offers a unique lifestyle. It is a rare opportunity to own a home with stunning views, abundant wildlife, and excellent facilities in a peaceful rural setting.
