Set on 1.37ha of level land and framed by majestic 150-year-old grand oaks and English elms, the enchanting Frogs Hollow Retreat is steeped in history and rich in charm. Originally established in 1876 as the Emu Vale State School, the property served the community until 2003. Today, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a beautifully restored country residence.
Lovingly restored by its current custodians, the original schoolhouse and play shed have been re-imagined as a delightful 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom timber residence with a detached art studio and loft.
The Residence (Circa 1876) Features:
• A modern country kitchen with stone bench tops, premium cabinetry, a Belling oven, and cook top, while black and white tiled flooring adds timeless sophistication.
• A spacious main lounge with polished timber floors, soaring raked ceilings, and casement windows. The original chalkboard remains as a charming nod to the property's past.
• Timber verandas wrap around three sides, with French doors opening onto a large, screened deck at the eastern end—perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while soaking in the mountain views.
• A vintage-inspired bathroom with a deep claw-foot tub, overhead shower, and freestanding vanity.
• Four generously sized bedrooms, including a huge master with en-suite.
The Grounds:
Stroll through beautifully kept cottage gardens and Kikuyu lawns shaded by historic elm and oak trees planted by early settlers. A charming picket-fence entrance leads to the original play shed, now a fully functional art studio with a loft and adjoining entertaining space.
The properties very own well, now equipped with a modern electric submersible pump allows the avid gardener an abundance of water for lawns and gardens as well as livestock.
Location:
“Frogs Hollow Retreat” is nestled in Emu Vale—a picturesque hamlet at the foot of the mountains— 5 minutes to Yangan, 10 minutes to Killarney, and approx 20 minutes to Warwick. Enjoy a comfortable 2hrs drive to Brisbane and 2.5hrs to the Gold Coast.
Perfect for weekenders or a full-time lifestyle change, the property is a popular destination for city dwellers seeking peace, creativity, and nature. From day trips to Queen Mary Falls to exploring the Granite Belt wine region, there's no shortage of experiences to enjoy.
The Legacy:
With new opportunities ahead, the current owners are ready to pass the torch. Could Frogs Hollow Retreat be your next chapter?
