Overview
Escape the hustle and bustle without sacrificing convenience, your acreage lifestyle awaits. This property is situated just minutes from Calliope and features direct frontage to the Dawson Highway, providing an ideal balance of serene rural living with easy town access.
The land spans approximately 7.13 hectares (about 17.61 acres) of gently rolling terrain. Double Creek runs along the property boundary, adding natural appeal, along with adjoining crown land that provides added privacy. The entire acreage is fully fenced and divided into three primary paddocks, suitable for hobby farming, keeping horses, or simply enjoying spacious outdoor living.
The property is sold as is, with some maintenance and work required, offering a prime opportunity for customization and improvement.
Water Supply:

- Two 5,000 gallon rainwater tanks.
- An additional smaller rainwater tank with approximately 1,000 litres capacity.
This water setup complements the land well, covering water requirements for rural living.

Positioned at the highest point on the block, the colonial-style lowset brick home benefits from cooling breezes and elevated views. The home is in original condition, providing a great opportunity to add personal touches and upgrades.

In addition, there is a three-bay farm shed with high clearance, powered and enclosed on two sides and the rear, providing extra storage or workspace potential, though it does require some maintenance.
There are also additional improvements such as a chook pen and well-established paddock infrastructure, further enhancing the site's readiness for agricultural or hobby farming use.
