Overview

"Ghost of Mulgowie" AUCTION Friday May 29, 2026

This rural lifestyle property, known as "Ghost of Mulgowie," is offered for auction on Friday, May 29, 2026, at 10am. The auction will be held at the Ray White Head Office in Brisbane City, Queensland. The property is sold as is, where is.

The story behind this property is one of time and change. Over the years, families grow and move on, leaving behind the homestead they built with care and dedication. This property remains a time capsule, with furniture, family photos, and kitchen china left undisturbed, and a clock stopped at 9 o'clock, symbolizing a moment frozen in time.

Access to the property is currently limited. The easement and unmaintained road off Red Gap Road are impassable, and prospective buyers are advised to consult Lockyer Valley Council for access information.

Due to the property's remote location and access challenges, there will be only one public inspection scheduled in the week before the auction, which will take several hours to complete.

The land comprises 160 acres (approximately 65 hectares) of elevated and timbered country known locally as "Yowie" country. The surrounding properties are primarily used for cattle and horses, and the land is fully fenced.

The soil is a transition between fertile black valley soils and sandier ridge soils, supporting hardy Australian native vegetation such as Spotted Gum, Ironbark, and various Wattle species. The area is quiet and secluded, with abundant birdlife and local wildlife, making it ideal for lifestyle blocks rather than intensive farming.

The terrain is characterized by elevated ridges ranging from 150 to over 220 meters above sea level, offering expansive valley views. The land features undulating hills and steep slopes, much of which remains natural bushland or is used for light grazing.

The house on the property is a 3-bedroom Logan kit home with a separate laundry. It features a steel frame and stumping, cypress pine floors, and remains dry inside, indicating the roof is intact. The house is completely off-grid, previously powered by a diesel generator. Water is supplied by several rainwater tanks and two concrete tanks surrounding the house. There is also a bore plumbed to the concrete tanks, though currently unequipped.

Additional structures include several bird aviaries, a cabin adjacent to the house used during construction (suitable for storage), two sheds with dirt floors, and a rough structure housing the diesel generator.

The property is located off Red Gap Road in Mulgowie, approximately 5 minutes from the Mulgowie Hotel and 20 minutes from Laidley.

All offers will be presented to the vendor prior to auction.
