This property presents a unique opportunity as an entry-level grazing property or a private rural retreat with multiple exceptional house sites suitable for building a permanent residence.

The property benefits from bitumen frontage on Texas Stanthorpe Road and is conveniently situated approximately 35 kilometers from Texas, 66 kilometers from Stanthorpe, and 120 kilometers from Warwick, a major rural center.

The land tenure is freehold, registered as L2 RP806032 within the Southern Downs Regional area. The terrain is gently undulating and currently supports an abundance of feed comprising blue, couch, and native grasses with a base of trefoil legume. The landscape gradually rises into hills featuring ironbark, scattered pine, and box gum trees, maintaining a healthy balance of native grasses throughout the timbered country.

Improvements on the property include two self-contained cottages, each measuring approximately 5 meters by 4 meters, connected by a large undercover deck with bench seating that creates a shared outdoor space. The cottages feature iron exteriors with timber-lined walls, wood heaters, showers, and vanities. Solar power and a 2000-liter rainwater tank support sustainable living. Additional structures include a small lockable car garage with a concrete floor and a garden shed, all within a fully fenced yard. These cottages provide a comfortable retreat that maximizes the natural surroundings while offering protection from the elements.

Water security is excellent, with the property watered by eight stock dams that have been recently cleaned to ensure good stock access. A well equipped with solar power and a tank further enhances water availability, ensuring the water supply never dries out. Seasonal creeks with water holes are scattered throughout the property, adding to the water resources.

The fencing is in good stock condition, with boundary fences maintained and internal fencing dividing the land into six stock-proof paddocks. The northern boundary is exclusion fenced, and several areas of fencing throughout the property have been upgraded. Numerous roads and tracks provide access across the property.

The region receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 26 to 27 inches, supporting the healthy growth of pasture and native vegetation.

This property is ideal for those seeking to escape urban life and enjoy a rural lifestyle with ample space for hobbies such as horse riding, motorbike riding, or running a grazing enterprise. Its proximity to Glenlyon Dam offers opportunities for various water activities.
