TUCKED away among the picturesque rolling hills of the renowned Groomsville area between Highfields and Crows Nest is Windarra Downs, which sits on 31 hectares.
It will be auctioned by Ray White Rural in Brisbane on October 15.
Windarra has established gardens creating a lovely tranquil setting with an eight metre in-ground salt water pool, and firepit area, while the three-and-a-half-year-old home will suit the most discerning buyer.
It has verandahs on three sides with the main verandah being wide and purpose built for entertaining with a built-in timber bar, overlooking the in-ground pool, landscaped gardens, paddocks and far beyond.
No expense has been spared with adjustable blinds/screens along the full length of the verandah, so that this area of the home is usable in almost all weather conditions.
The adjacent dining and lounge area are spacious, with this section of the home having 15ft ceilings, reverse cycle air con and wood heater for year round comfort. The remainder of the home has 9ft ceilings, huge laundry and large family bathroom, good sized bedrooms with built-in robes, walk-in robe, air conditioning in the master bedroom and large ensuite with double basins and dual head shower.
The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study. Stunning spotted gum flooring throughout the home are a standout feature.
Power is supplied to the home and sheds via a new state of the art 10KWA solar system and a back up 10KVA generator, when required. 24 panels are mounted on a concrete slab for ease of maintenance and washing down so that the system works at a premium at all times. The 2KVA wind turbine has also been constructed, but not connected.
The property has mainly basalt scrub soils that have had chicken manure spread over it. Improved pastures include Queensland bluegrass, creeping bluegrass, green panic and kikuyu in places.
Fenced to 12 watered paddocks, ranging from smaller nursery paddocks, ideal for sheep goats or calving (some of which are ringlocked), through to larger grazing paddocks for horses or cattle. Steel portable cattle yards are in place complete with loading ramp and concrete base under the vet crush.
Smaller holding paddocks also adjoin the yards. Sheep yards and loading ramp also remain. Some paddocks were built for free range pigs.
