Located just 5.7 kilometers from Ambrose, 6 kilometers from Mount Larcom, and 38 kilometers from Gladstone, this rural lifestyle property offers a unique opportunity to own a substantial parcel of land in a serene setting.

The property spans approximately 66.47 hectares (164.25 acres) and is held under a single freehold title. The land features open bottle tree scrub country with rolling hills covered in improved pastures including silk sorghum, couch, and natural grasses. The soil is predominantly chocolate soil, with some areas of virgin lantana.

Water resources on the property are abundant, with five dams and multiple rainwater tanks. There is a trough in the yards, gravity-fed from a rainwater tank servicing the cottage and shed. The main home is supplied by three rainwater tanks, while the cottage, shed, and yards are also supplied by three separate rainwater tanks. Additionally, there is a bore equipped with a submersible and Honda pump, although it is not currently in use.

The fencing is well maintained, featuring good boundary and internal fencing constructed with timber posts and steel pickets with four barbs. The property is divided into six paddocks, adjoining three separate laneways that lead to the yards, facilitating easy movement of stock.

Stock yards are equipped with steel yards including three drafting and holding pens, a race, head bale, and loading ramp, supporting efficient livestock management. The carrying capacity of the property is approximately 30 head, comprising cows, calves, and one bull.

Improvements on the property include a charming four-bedroom renovated Queenslander home overlooking a large spring-fed dam located in the front paddock. The main residence is air-conditioned and features a modern kitchen, open plan dining, lounge, and office area. The bathroom is spacious, equipped with a shower, bath, and single vanity, with a separate toilet accessible from both the bathroom and the front verandah. The laundry is situated in a closed-in area on the wrap-around verandah, which extends around three sides of the home and offers views over the front half of the property.

Additionally, there is a one-bedroom air-conditioned cottage with an open plan kitchen and lounge. The cottage includes a two-way bathroom that connects to the bedroom via a walk-in robe and is accessible from a large deck and entertaining area.

There is also a powered machinery shed with a partly enclosed workshop, providing ample space for equipment storage and maintenance.

This property has been cherished by three generations over 14 years, reflecting its quality and appeal. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained grazing property with plentiful water, abundant feed, and two neat and tidy homes. It is highly recommended for inspection by those seeking a quality rural lifestyle property.
