Featuring an outstanding homestead, top quality infrastructure, and highly productive irrigation, the 67 hectare (165 acre) property is to be sold following Kent and Libby Wells’ decision to buy a larger property at Bingara, NSW.
Mr Wells is well known as the coach of the Queensland polocrosse team.
Located at Coulson, 9km north of Boonah, the property has the reputation for having some of the most productive lands in the Scenic Rim. The quality lifestyle farm has a 1.5km frontage to Teviot Brook. The high capacity grazing operation has enabled the Wells to run 50 steers and 50 horses for the last 10 years.
Made up of two freehold titles, most of the property is cleared with predominately fertile alluvial black soil and large areas of soft river flats. A bore is also used to irrigate the cell grazing paddocks. There is also an allocation in Teviot Brook.

The 10-year-old homestead presents stunning views over the property and features four bedrooms, office, formal and informal areas and an enclosed terrace. Other infrastructure includes six stables, three large sheds and a solid yard set up.
The surrounding countryside is striking but no more so than the spectacular mountain peaks, ranges and escarpments of the Main Range National Park, an Australian World Heritage Area.
Mr Douglas said Hawthorne represented an outstanding chance to live, farm and entertain in a lovely homestead set on some very good country.
“Whether inside the garden fence, down by the brook, riding a horse around your cows or watching the kids barrel race, Hawthorne offers it all so close to all amenities,” Mr Douglas said. “This is a very pretty, private and high capacity farm.
“For Kent and Libby, naturally it has been a difficult decision to leave and sell the property. However, after buying Rotherwood at Bingara, NSW, Hawthorne needs to be sold.”
Hawthorne is an hour from the hub of Brisbane's CBD and just over an hour from Surfers Paradise.
