Just 15 minutes to Toowoomba, with nothing to see but distant mountain ranges, trees and sky when you get home. This Murphys Creek property is the definition of Time Out if you want to be with your family in peace and privacy.
This comfortable family friendly home exudes warmth and character overlooking a one hectare (2.5 acres) acreage hideaway. From the wide and spacious verandah the views continue over to the deep blue ridges of the Great Divide.
Over the years, the property has been lovingly established as a birdlife sanctuary and self sustaining lifestyle . It grows happy chooks, fruit and vegies, and is a haven for lorikeets, wild ducks, cockatoos, butcher birds, rosellas, king parrots and many more too numerous to mention. The fully fenced property gently rises to a home set well back off the road for privacy, with an adorable winding driveway, horse paddock, established orchard and lovely tall gums.
The verandah is big enough to live on in summer, with separate areas for lounging, playing and dining. Inside the house is blessed with temperature control for all seasons - ducted evaporative air conditioning guarantees fresh cool air when it gets a little warm, and the brick fireplace keeps the whole house cosy in winter. There are three bedrooms, main with built-in robes, and the toilet is separate to the bathroom. The central part of the home features an open-plan living with high cathedral ceiling, a balance of exposed brick and distinctive Radiata pine walls plus Welsh slate floors.
Attached by way of a breezeway, is a huge rumpus room with its own toilet and shower rooms. This will make an ideal granny flat with benches and cupboards already in place for a kitchen. This is a very versatile room measuring 6metres x 6 metres (not including shower and toilet) which could be divided into extra rooms or simply be used as a grand theatre room.
Kiddies will love the sparkling salt water inground pool with an overlooking gazebo style sitting area for everyone to sit and enjoy the outdoors. There are many extras including abundant water supply - rain water tanks hold a massive 75,000 litres plus there is a submersible bore pumping to outside taps and stock troughs.
To complete the picture, there is solar and mains power, a three bay zinc alum garage, double carport, chook and garden sheds. Convenience is also a bonus being walking distance to primary school, buses to Toowoomba schools and a leisurely 15 minute drive to the Toowoomba North Point Shopping centre.
