869 Saddletop Road, Upper Pilton

Property suitable for breeding, breaking, pre-training and spelling horses.

‘Sliprails’ is just 8 kilometres from the township of Pilton and is perched on an excellent 18.7 acre block of land offering relaxing rural views over a spectacular valley. It’s only 35 minutes along the New England Highway from Toowoomba to find the peace and tranquillity of the well-renowned Australian bush in this delightful rural setting.

The spacious 3 bedroom house sits proud on an elevated section of the allotment and is easily seen as you drive up from the road. The first thing you notice about the home is it has the perfect aspect not only for catching views but also to receive the full benefit of winter sun. Up the stairs and you enter the dwelling via the fully enclosed sunroom. A place I am sure you’ll enjoy evening meals as well as many stories from friends and family while partaking of a beer or wine on a summers night.
From the sunroom and moving further into the building you’ll find a massive open plan family/lounge/dining room. This area has rather unique specially shaped vertical solid timber boards throughout plus a ceiling fan. To the left is the bedrooms and bathroom, to the right is the kitchen and another lounge/dining area which could easily be a rumpus room or an office study is you so desired. The huge eat-in kitchen is very typical of life in the country with a single bowl sink, plethora of cupboards and ample bench space. There’s even a fully functional crown combustion stove for roasts and stews which doubles as a very practical heater in winter. All the bedrooms are oversize and carpeted with built in robes. The indoors bathroom hosts a shower over bath, vanity basin and the toilet is separate.

Externally as the property has been previously been established for horses it has an abundance of infrastructure to cater for them. 8 paddocks, 4 of them with shade shelters, give flexibility to animal management needs. There’s a very large shed with 5 stables and 2 small stables with walkout yards plus a round/lunge yard. A lock up garage and workshop complement the rest of the buildings on the property to make it a very flexible operation. A bore supplies a 20,000 gallon head tank (91,921 litres) feeding 2x 5,000 gallon tanks (45,460 litres) on the house. You’ll certainly have no problem with water. School Bus picks up from the front gate for Pilton Primary and Clifton Secondary Schools.

Whether you’re retiring off the farm to a smaller block or a family seeking a rural lifestyle this property is very worthy of an inspection. Arrange one today, you’ll be glad you did.
