Perched high on the ridgeline in the tightly held Palmtree district, 'Palmrest' is one of those rare country holdings that truly has it all - character, infrastructure, water security, and lifestyle appeal in equal measure. Spread across 132 acres of well developed country, this property has been thoughtfully improved from boundary to boundary, with quality pastures, multiple sheds, dual accommodation, and a beautifully restored Queenslander homestead at its heart.

THE HOMESTEAD

A magnificent three bedroom Queenslander stands proudly atop the hill, surrounded by established gardens and open parkland lawns. Character features include polished timber floors, pressed metal ceilings and VJ walls, all freshly and professionally painted inside and out. French doors open from the bedrooms and living spaces onto a wide wrap around verandah and expansive entertaining decks, taking in the elevated views and natural surrounds. The home also features a sunroom/sleepout, well appointed kitchen with bay window, and detached laundry. The home is fully off grid, powered by solar with battery storage and an 12kVA backup generator.

ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

Sheds & Workshop: A 12m x 24m machinery shed with concrete floor and car hoist, surrounded by bitumen hardstand, provides serious workshop space for any use. Separate three bay shed with attached large studio/office. Additional two-bay garage housing solar batteries and extra storage. Caretaker’s Quarters: A converted three bay garage has been transformed into a self contained secondary dwelling with two bedrooms and a generous lounge area, with its own established yard accessed via its own driveway - ideal for guests, extended family, or staff.

THE LAND

132 acres divided into six main paddocks plus two smaller holding paddocks, all well fenced with timber and portable panel cattle yards. The property comfortably runs 20 breeders and has been carefully managed with an ongoing weed eradication and pasture improvement program. Access throughout the property is exceptional, with internal gravel roads formed from the property’s own gravel pit with multiple cattle grids making access quick and easy. Pastures are a standout, with Rhodes and Queensland Bluegrass establishing, providing excellent year round feed.

WATER SECURITY

Water is a major feature with over 250,000 litres of rainwater storage across the home and sheds, a large dam, and recently equipped stock & domestic bore supplying 1000L/hr. ‘Palmrest’ is virtually drought-proof with these three independent water sources.

LIFESTYLE & RECREATION

The lifestyle appeal here is unmatched. A massive dam sits as the centrepiece of the property, complete with its own timber built pool house - a rustic lifestyle retreat with pizza oven, bar, shower, and toilet facilities. It is a true entertaining haven, ideal for family gatherings or quiet weekends by the water. The dam features its own pontoon ready to fish, stocked with perch and yellow-belly. Across the water, another large timber-framed shed offers scope for future development, perfect for camping headquarters, additional storage, or a future event space.
