A landholding rich in history and local significance, this original farming property of Upper Laceys Creek settler Gottlieb Enchelmaier is offered for sale for the first time in 125 years. Selected in 1898, the picturesque setting is home to age-old hoop pines, cleared pasture and forested hilltops, with Raynbird Creek winding its way through the middle. A name synonymous with the greater Dayboro district, this is the largest remaining Enchelmaier family-owned parcel of land.

Set upon a rise, this colonial homestead, with its northeast-facing verandah that grants magnificent views over the property and to the mountains beyond, sure must have some stories to tell. Well maintained for more than a century, this Queenslander has been home to generations of the same family.

The second house to be built on this property - the first a 1906-built pine-slabbed and shingle-roofed cottage - this larger family home was constructed in 1918. A towering hoop pine, planted in 1907, stands beside the spot where the original cottage stood. Known as Pine Valley in more recent times, it is the impressive hoop pines dotted around this 160-acre landholding that gave rise to the name.

With all the character features that we adore about these early worker's dwellings, included are wide hoop pine floorboards and a breezy central hallway, VJ walls and high ceilings, decorative breezeways, French doors and original glazing. Set in an alcove is the original, Queensland-manufactured Crown wood stove that, together with the eat-in kitchen's vintage cupboards, serve as a nostalgic reminder of the past.

There are three bedrooms within the main part of the home, a large loungeroom, 'The Pantry' which is now the laundry and a modernised bathroom complete with a bathtub. The enclosed sleepout offers a second living, storage or hobby space, while a newer addition mirrors this sleepout and has created another bedroom, a farmhouse-style long-table dining room and a separate office on the opposite side of the house.

Now completely off-grid, energy is provided and stored via solar panels and a battery within one of the two large steel sheds. Two original rainwater tanks on stands sit directly outside the house and separately feed into the bathroom and kitchen. There is enormous potential to renovate and restore this homestead if you wish but is perfectly liveable and comfortable as is.

Formerly a dairy farm that sold cream to the Dayboro Butter Factory, bananas and corn were grown in the early years and, more recently, has held beef cattle. Currently running resilient Droughtmasters, there are four fenced paddocks with water being pumped directly from the creek to water troughs, cattle yards with a race and new head bail, and a loading ramp. The farm's original milking shed still stands and a fenced house yard provides a safe outdoor play space for the kids and pets.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a slice of local history, this property presents a wonderful prospect for those seeking a treechange and a century-old Queenslander to call home.
