Quality Acreage living

This magnificent private acreage property is located approximately 15 minutes from surf beaches, the Sunshine Plaza and the airport. This four bedroom double story property offers a quiet rural ambiance with an elevated northerly aspect across Paynter Creek and Rosemount. Local state and private schools are served by bus pickups in Diddillibah Road and the Woombye train station to Brisbane is just 5 minutes away. The property includes a mature orchard with dozens of fruit and nut trees, two secure chicken yards and vegetable/herb gardens, all established to enjoy a sense of ‘living off the land’.
