"Alandene", 1160 Miva Road, Miva QLD 4570

Some properties simply cannot be replicated, and "Alandene" is one of those rare opportunities. Positioned on just over one acre (4,244m²) across two freehold titles, this treasured property has remained in the same family for generations and is being offered to the market for the very first time. Lovingly cared for throughout its more than 100-year history, "Alandene" is a landmark property within the historic Miva district and a remarkable example of Queensland's rural heritage.

Occupying a prominent position as you enter Miva via the iconic heritage listed Dickabram Bridge, the home and its beautiful gardens have long been a welcoming sight for locals and visitors alike. Built between 1884 and 1886, the Dickabram Bridge is recognised as the oldest surviving bridge of its design in Queensland and forms an important part of the area's rich history. "Alandene" itself has featured in local historical records, including the Dickabram Bridge Centenary publication, with photographs dating back to 1922. The property was also historically home to the Miva Store, further cementing its place in the story of this charming rural community.

The charming Queenslander residence showcases the timeless character and craftsmanship of a bygone era, with many original features beautifully preserved throughout. Decorative fretwork, stunning stained-glass windows, ornate timber archways, traditional timber wall panelling, built in timber cabinetry, original style light fittings and high ceilings create a warm and inviting atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find. Immaculately maintained and presented, the home is truly neat as a pin, reflecting generations of pride and care.

Offering four bedrooms, one bathroom, an additional downstairs toilet and a dedicated office, the home provides comfortable family living while remaining true to its heritage. Multiple living spaces include a welcoming lounge room, formal dining room and light filled sunroom, all connected by the generous proportions and elegant detailing synonymous with traditional Queenslander homes. Large windows allow natural light to fill the interiors, enhancing the sense of space and highlighting the home's beautiful period features.

At the heart of the home, the country style kitchen combines practicality with charm. Featuring quality timber cabinetry, extensive storage, generous bench space, a central island bench, double sink, dishwasher and freestanding cooker, the kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for everyday living. Air conditioning provides year-round comfort, while large windows create a bright and welcoming workspace with views over the surrounding gardens.

Flowing seamlessly from the home is a timber deck that overlooks the sparkling inground saltwater swimming pool and surrounding farmland. Whether entertaining family and friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this elevated outdoor space captures the peaceful rural outlook that makes this property so special.

Downstairs offers excellent versatility with a spacious entertaining area, workshop facilities, extensive storage space and a separate toilet, creating a practical area for hobbies, gatherings and everyday convenience.

The grounds surrounding "Alandene" are simply breathtaking. Beautifully manicured gardens, stunning rose gardens and established lawns create a picturesque setting that perfectly complements the home's historic appeal. For those seeking a sustainable country lifestyle, there is a greenhouse, vegetable garden boxes and ample space for chooks and fruit trees. An enclosed dog pen and fully fenced house yard provide security for pets and peace of mind for families.

Practical infrastructure includes a single bay garage, additional shedding and a high clearance shed suitable for caravan storage. The property is serviced by two 5,000-gallon rainwater tanks and a 6kW solar system, providing valuable efficiency and sustainability benefits.

Set on bitumen road frontage and surrounded by grazing land, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining highly convenient.
