Overview
Sprawled across approximately 10.07 hectares (around 25 acres) in the tranquil setting of Lake Manchester, this remarkable acreage property stands out for its distinctive blend of character, history, and versatile functionality. The iconic Big Red Barn forms the centerpiece, showcasing an impressive rustic atmosphere through its hand-stacked paver floors and reclaimed timbers, including substantial pillars sourced from Brisbane's historic tannery wool stores. This heritage charm is intertwined with a warm and inviting three-bedroom residence built into the barn, featuring loft-style ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace which radiates a cozy, country ambiance.
The residence's open-plan kitchen, dining, and living spaces are designed to seamlessly connect to the outdoor entertaining area and a sparkling swimming pool overlooking the expanse of the acreage. Such layout enhances the sense of indoor-outdoor living, perfect for social gatherings, family enjoyment around the fire, and peaceful moments amidst nature.
Enhancing the property's scope is a separate barn-style building offering 11 bedrooms alongside communal bathrooms, toilets, and laundry facilities. This accommodation setup introduces significant possibilities for the prospective buyer. Whether for extended family gatherings, group retreats, sporting or hobby groups, workshops, or even tourism ventures such as an event or wedding venue (subject to approvals), the adaptable spaces cater flexibly to diverse needs.
The acreage also benefits from a comprehensive equestrian setup including four stables, a 500m racetrack, horse electric walker, tack room, multiple day yards, and larger horse paddocks connected by purpose-designed laneways. For horse owners, this turnkey arrangement represents a rare opportunity to move directly into an established horse property.
Additional features enhancing the property's practicality and lifestyle appeal include Oaky Creek running through the land, stock and domestic bores, and a large header tank for water management. The property's expansive open spaces and existing infrastructure also offer potential for hobbies, storage, workshops, or accommodating a large family seeking room to spread out. For buyers desiring a peaceful rural retreat within reasonable proximity to Brisbane, this offering provides a compelling country lifestyle alternative.
