Situated 48km west of Chinchilla, 127km west of Dalby, 211km west of Toowoomba and 340km west of Brisbane, Miles is experiencing strong growth as a hub for the Surat Basin’s coal seam gas development. The rise in industrial activity in the area has also impacted the residential housing market, resulting in rising prices.
Tourism is another major industry for the town, with the Miles Historical Village Museum being recognised as one of Australia’s best historical villages and a destination for many tourists.
This rural property for sale QLD features fertile soils, abundant creek and dam water, cattle yards, and shedding
Previously running cattle, ‘Mirrabook’ boasts slightly undulating country underpinned by a mixture of black soil, Brigalow and Belah country, and red sandy loam country with Cypress Pine along the creek and harder ridges.
Fenced into one paddock by four-barb wires on steel posts and steel assemblies, approximately 150 acres (60 hectares) have been cleared and seeded with Rhodes, Buffle and Green Panic grasses along with Silk Sorghum.

Secure water is a key feature of the property. The eastern boundary has around 1.5km of frontage to Dogwood Creek, which supplies the property with water. Water is pumped from the creek via an electric submersible pump to an approximately 100,000-litre galvanised storage tank with a liner. A new inch-and-a-half poly pipe has been recently laid from the creek to the storage tank.
What’s more, ‘Mirrabook’ is located some 10km north of the Gil Weir, ensuring the creek along the boundary always has water and has never been known to dry up. The house and yard are serviced by rainwater and creek water while a large dam provides water for livestock.

The property also features a set of wooden cattle yards with a race, pound and loading ramp and two fully enclosed sheds with concrete floors. The property has a new access with a grid and cattle rail assemblies.
‘Mirrabook’ is currently destocked of livestock and carrying a large body of feed. The owners previously ran cattle on Mirrabook, but it is equally suited for horses, with minimal coverage of Buffel grass.
The original part of the home on this rural property for sale QLD was renovated in 1984 and an extension added in 1990
