After many successful years of breeding multiple Group 1 winning horses and superb cattle production and finishing the owners are moving on, opening up a rare opportunity to secure this signature 'Inner Darling Downs' grazing property only a short drive to Pittsworth or Toowoomba.

The 308* acre property in 2 titles consists of highly fertile, heavy chocolate creek flat soils utilized for growing winter and summer finishing crops, rising to soft hill country shaded by Iron Bark and Gum trees offering multiple paddocks over the property, all with watering troughs.

The stately Queensland home is nestled into the south western hill acting as protection whilst maintaining breathtaking views over the Felton Valley and beyond. This Immaculate circa 1906* homestead strikes a harmonious balance between heritage elegance and modern living. Flawlessly crafted with a major extension, full renovation and receiving award winning status for the builders efforts in 2013, this family character home is of high distinction. An inspired family design across voluminous proportions with multiple living and dining zones indoors and out with breathtaking scenery.

Livestock can be moved with ease of management from paddock to paddock via interconnecting laneway system which links to the 'Red River' steel cattle yards with loading ramp and vet crush, which is central to the property and timber cattle yards on the eastern side of the property; also linked by the laneway.
