Located on the highest point of the property, this stunning, well presented home will impress those looking for a home with the charm of yesteryear. From the second that you pull up and get out of your car, you will simply be in awe of the setting. A charming and impeccably presented Queenslander with bull nose verandahs set among quaint cottage style gardens and established shrubs and trees, creating a truly magnificent setting. You could be in a whole other world as you wander through the gardens and lawns of the fully fenced yard. Step upon the wide verandah and make your way around to a great outdoor living area adjacent to the kitchen...perfect for entertaining. Step down on to another deck and we have the most quirky feature of the home...an outdoor shower and bath with hot and cold running water. This feature is testament to the absolute privacy that you will experience at 'Dun Fundy Brae'. Wide French doors make comfortable access from the verandah to most rooms of the home with the main bedroom having it's own private balcony at the rear. Another room which is currently used as a Studio may also serve many purposes and features a large window, filling the entire room with light, while you overlook the greenery of the stunning gardens. The lounge has a wood heater for the cooler months, throw open the French doors and with the help of the wide, cool verandahs, you will find that the home is perfectly positioned to catch lovely breezes through the warmer months. As you enter the front door, you will note recently polished timber floors, then your attention is soon drawn to the stunning pressed metal ceilings through the hallway and into the lounge. Set on steel stumps, a relatively new roof and a wonderful renovation, this home has stood the test of time and will again for many years to come.

LAND

• 53.78 Ha - 132.8 acres
• Very Good Boundary & Internal Fencing
• 4 Larger & 4 Smaller Paddocks
• Well Grassed Undulating Countryside
• Good Stands of Timber + Open Grazing
• 2 Dams - 1 Large inc pump
• High quality red and chocolate basalt soils

Excellent pastures of Kangaroo Grass, Rhodes and QLD Bluegrass are most predominant. The property is easily traversed with one main gully through the property which acts as water catchment for the big dam. The block would be best described as gently undulating with just a couple of steeper gullies which lead into really good, warm winter paddocks for cattle. Although predominately grazed by cattle, up until recently, the current owners had a small market garden of several vegetables as well as growing flowers. Gardens, both at the house and the previous market garden are irrigated along with a green house also fitted with irrigation. Small orchards with stone fruit & citrus trees including peach, orange, lime, apple, mulberry, pomegranate, mandarins, figs... just to name a few.

WATER

Approximately 14 000 gallons of rain water services the house from 2 tanks with another 5 000 gallon tank at the shed, which is spare but can be pumped across if required. Around 25 000 gallons (4 large tanks) at the storage shed down from the house is also set up to pump up to the house if required (this has never been a requirement by the current owners). Another pump at the dam is also reticulated to another tank, of which can also be pumped to a tank at the house, if required for gardens & pets etc. Close to the house a bore site has also been divined and marked. All in all, the current owners have never run out of water and the current reticulation that is in place is second to none with all options for rain and dam water to be pumped wherever you wish on the property. All paddocks are watered...7 with access to troughs, some shared and one smaller paddock by a dam.

ENTERTAINMENT

Seldom do we get to write about such a feature on a property! Down beside the large dam is the 'Pool House'. This is a truly special part of this property. This building is best described as 'rustic' and you wouldn't have it any other way. Complete with 2 timber bars, log & timber seating and a great home made Pizza oven. There is also his & hers toilets, shower and bath with running water along with a gas hot water system...this is as good as it gets by way of country entertainment. Friends, family or even just the kids will have weekends of fun here. It's a bit like a log cabin in the woods...except that it specifically designed for endless good times!

SHEDS - CHOOK PENS - YARDS

A 6m x 6m colorbond shed is home to the solar equipment, mowers & garden tools down one side with a separate fully lined room on the other with power points etc, ideal for many purposes. Away from the house is the market garden, here there is a 15m x 7.5m colorbond shed with 3 bay lock-up and 2 open bays on the end. This shed is currently used for the tractor and other items...perfect for a boat or even a caravan. Chook pens are vermin proof and extremely well built. They are situated in smaller, separate paddocks near the house making them suitable to keep pigs or sheep also. An excellent set of timber and steel portable yards with loading ramp is perfect for working, loading and unloading cattle.

'Dun Fundy Brae' simply has most of what you need...absolute privacy, a lovely home, good pastures, water... excellent soils and is located in some of the most magnificent country that the South East region has to offer. Handy to Hampton, Crows Nest and Highfields and only around 35 minutes from Toowoomba. Coffee Shops, Eateries, Parks and Recreational Lakes are all within a short drive from the property.
