Description: BROOKSTEAD (circa 1935)
Approximately 900 acres of flat to undulating manageable grazing land containing a 520sqm renovated 'Plantation' homestead situated only 30 minutes from Tenterfield and 40 minutes to Stanthorpe. What a package !
The homestead - 'Brookstead' circa 1935, was moved to the property by the current owners and the home was subjected to a meticulous, luxurious and stylish renovation culminating in the occupancy of the home in 2023.
As stated, the home is 520sqm and consists of three generous sized bedrooms and a fourth bedroom or study/office. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite with views over the property.
The lounge room on the northeastern corner of the home has high ceilings (14ft), parquetry flooring and heated by a wood fire heater. Adjacent is the formal dining room, also with high ceilings, French doors and Canadian Oak flooring.
Leading from the dining room you enter the open planned kitchen and second dining area. The kitchen is modern and sleek, with an island bench, modern appliances such as a dishwasher and a Esse Hybrid Range cooker, which offers not only wood and electric cooking but also domestic water heating. There is plenty of cupboards and storage and a butlers pantry.
The entire space is light and airy with views over the nearby paddocks.
The main bathroom has been exquisitely renovated with Italian floor tiles, timber vanity with a marble basin and a large shower.
The home has timber flooring throughout, including the rare Crows Ash timber, in the informal dining area. Included in the renovation is a complete electrical re-wiring of the home along with installation of brand-new plumbing including a new septic system.
The home is totally off-grid with a 15kw/h Victron Energy system which is less than 12 months old. The hot water is heated in three ways including solar, Esse cooker and tubes.
As you can imagine the catchment from a 520sqm home is enormous, consequently there is a new 100,000 litre galvanised steel tank which captures water from the home and a second 10,000litre poly tank storing water from the shed.
The shed is new, with three bays and a workshop area. The shed has a concrete floor and contains the operating system, for the solar system. There is also a timber and steel machinery shed which is suitable for machinery storage.
The home has all the required approvals, along with mobile service and Starlink internet services with council rates approximately $2000 per year.
The 900 acres of grazing land was sub divided off a larger property last century and consists of very easily managed and accessible granite, trap rock and basalt country. The estimated carrying capacity is 100 breeders. To assist with the livestock management there is a set of steel cattle yards with a RPM Rural crush and loading ramp.
The property has been divided into nine paddocks, with the majority having exclusion fencing. There are 11 dams located over the property all being easily accessed by livestock. In the southwestern corner there are two springs which could be utilised to access water.
Cropping is possible with about 15ha of land in the vicinity of the homestead which has previously been utilised for the growing of forage crops.
This farm will offer an excellent lifestyle with good income for a discerning buyer with no work or renovations to be done
