Lot 1522 Jensens Road, Gundiah

So Unique - Privacy Assured - Solar Powered - 158 Acres

Situated 15 km South East of Tiaro at the end of a secluded well maintained track, and a stones throw from the Mary River and the National Horse Trail is this fantastic bio-diverse fully fenced property that supports a multitude of wildlife and native hardwoods.

Richly planted 20 years ago in many and varied native and tropical fruits the fenced separate house yard of approximately 4 acres is fully watered under gravity feed from a hill top tank on the property.

Nestled among the trees sits the Jewel in the Crown.
A three bedroom fully planned and approved hardwood pole frame home gives support to 3 metre verandahs on three sides. The eastern side backs onto a 15m x 6 m steel frame building which has been divided into three separate areas; fully lined and air conditioned rumpus room (6 x 6 m) Solar energy room (3 x 6 m) ,and the amenities block (6 x 6 m) divided into bathroom, toilet and laundry all fully lined insulated, plumbed, wired, and appointed in quality with stylish old country style class.

Cooking is via twin gas ranges and ovens, heating is handled by the slow combustion stove on those sleepy winter nights, fire wood is abundant on the property. Hot water is on demand, instant gas which is cheap and reliable.

Between the main buildings is a full length roofed "breezeway" which takes full advantage of the prevailing afternoon breeze to cool the living areas during the day. The property has been set up with a reliable stand alone solar system, as a result the current owners have not paid a power bill in 8 years!
Many components of the power system are still under warranty and the system is working as good as the day it was installed. This system supports two chest freezers a large fridge L.C.D TV, computer, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, toaster, etc and the lighting and numerous ceiling fans which provide realistic ecologically minded cooling. With bills ever on the rise why not take advantage of solar technology and be free, literally. The system is backed up by a reliable 6 kva diesel generator that consumes less than 1 litre per hour and can run on biodiesel. Although rarely used it provides charging ability for the 900 AH solar batteries during extended cloudy weather and backup power for power tools etc.

Stock are watered via four dams on the property. Water is plumbed via gravity from a 5000 gallon tank to the fully equipped 30 head stockyards with head bail, crush, concrete loading ramp and two self feeding water troughs.

Machinery are housed in three separate sheds, a 9m x 7m pole frame concreted generator and feed storage shed. A 12 m x 7.5 m color bond high roofed concreted garage with 4 meter wide awning. A large pole frame hardwood timber barn/ stable of 12m x 10 m sits proudly in the paddock.
The 160 acre block with seasonal creek frontage is well and fully fenced into four main paddocks to facilitate ease of handling and rotation of stock.

Land varies from fertile black soil creek flats in the South to open undulating improved pastures around the dwelling and stockyards to selectively cleared white zone pole timber/ pasture country to the North.
Future managed timber income is a tangible asset to this very quiet secluded ecological equine paradise squirreled away among the gums.
