The current owners have raised their family and are now ready to downsize from their private 25 hectare rural retreat in the heart of South Ripley. The very comfortable home contains both formal and informal living zones, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study. Floor to ceiling windows on the north side of the house give every room a feeling of light and space and the large verandah and garden provide lovely venues for large or intimate entertaining. A separate building has a spacious studio, a bathroom, a bedroom or study and a huge workshop making the property ideal for dual living or for a family with a work-from-home business. South Ripley is undergoing rapid development and this property is a rare opportunity for you to secure a rural lifestyle while being in close proximity to Brisbane, new schools, shopping precincts and health facilities being only 2 minutes' drive to the Centenary Highway, it is only a ten minute trip to Springfield with its train station, university, Mater hospital (opening later this year), cinemas and shopping town. It is 15 minutes' drive to Ipswich and less than an hour to Brisbane Airport. Water is stored in two dams and three large rainwater tanks(which have a capacity of about 60,000 litres), allowing new owners to have cattle, horses or chooks and grow their own fruit and vegetables. Whatever choice you make you are sure to enjoy the space provided by 25 hectares of bush, with wallabies, the occasional koala and a wide variety of native birds. The property also currently produces an income above $12,000 pa with absolutely no effort required. Don't delay: call to arrange an inspection to see what this unique property has to offer.
