751 Boyles Road, West Stowe QLD 4680

This property could well by stolen from the pages of the "Country Style" magazine. This century old farmhouse poised on approx 320.52 acres is located in a private location at the very end of Boyles Road, West Stowe a quick 25 minute transit to Gladstone or Calliope with good access north to Rockhampton via the Bruce Highway.

The grand old lady, estimated to be built in the 1920's from timber milled from the block is located on the roadside and set in a fully fenced house yard. True to the quintessential Qlder vernacular, the home is set on stumps and offers a lovely front verandah, on which to sit and take in the gorgeous cottage garden surrounds.

Reroofed, reguttered and restumped in approximately 2016, the home has also been refurbished. Internally it offers a lovely country style kitchen which modernises the older wood stove alcove and houses electric oven and cooktop. Off the kitchen is a dining area with a gorgeous country vista through to a good sized air conditioned lounge.

Internally the home offers some of the original features of the era - 12ft ceilings, tongue and groove walls, french doors and gorgeous fretwork.

The home has 4 bedrooms + study/art studio (3 bedrooms air conditioned) depending how you wish to use the rooms and a bathroom with shower and vanity and separate toilet.

The rear downstairs covered area houses the laundry but also provides a lovely area to sit and take in the gorgeous country surrounds. The gardens are alive with the birds and the bees. The internal house yard is dog proof and there are additional animal enclosures for chooks or ducks. Water for the house is provided by the 3 x 22,000litre rainwater storage tanks (with bore water capability if required).

Adjacent the house are 3 sheds. The most recent, built in 2019, is approximately 12m x 6m with additional annexe. There is also an old barn with high clearance for machinery parking or hay storage and another, powered with built in benches for tool storage. These are all set in fenced area (approx 3 acres) around the house yard.

This acreage property offers areas of good flats and gently undulating scrub country running up to steeper thickly timbered country at the rear boundary. Approx 3/4 of the property is zoned white with a PMAV locked in for additional improvement. Water is provided by dams, a seasonal creek and a fully equipped bore with reliable flows. Bore water can be used in the house during drier seasons. Additionally there is an older bore which is not being used.

The property is currently fenced into two paddocks (excluding the house yard) with a set of workable timber yards including loading ramp. There is also a separate house pad cleared and fenced off up on one of the highest areas of the block. If a living in a Qlder is not for you then you may wish to build a new home to suit your needs - one which takes in views of the entire block and Mt Larcom beyond!

This property is ideally located for someone who wants to run cattle or horses but not be too far from town. If you love the character, charm and romance of the old Qlder then this is certainly the property for you! Call Emma Dingle on 0419 714 937 to arrange your inspection.
