Welcome to your new life in the stunning countryside of Stanthorpe!
This incredible 75-acre property at 3 McGrath Lane, Applethorpe is the perfect place to start your new adventure.
Located only 5 minutes from town, making it the perfect location convenient for shopping, school drop-offs, etc.

With a modern 4-bedroom main house, 2 charming cottages and ample space for family and guests, this property is perfect for creating a thriving family farm or guest house business.
The property boasts over 4km of irrigated hydronic beds, making it ideal for planting and generating an income. The established chook yards and enclosures, fully equipped with automatic watering systems and nesting boxes, are perfect for producing income from free-range hens.

There are 8 dams scattered around the property, 2 of which are stocked with Cod and Yellowbelly, and seasonal a creek at the rear of the property. Even through the worst drought in known history, there was still plenty of water due to the dams holding capacity.
With many animals and different varieties of bird life also calling Kookaburra Ridge home, it is like living in your own animal santuary.

Backing onto Broadwater State Forest, this allows access at the rear gate, to over 10km of bushwalking and mountain biking tracks to explore. The property is also securely fenced and at present runs a flock of 30 Dorper sheep providing food security. The sheep and yards may be negotiated as part of the sale.

The main house features a modern kitchen with new granite bench tops and stylish splashbacks , flooring consists of woodgrain floating floor, as well as plush quality carpet in the lounge and bedrooms. The main master bedroom boasts a large walk-in robe, with a double shower, and spa bath in the ensuite.
The house and cottages use rainwater collected in 4 x 20,000 litre tanks and uses a quality filter system, ensuring the cleanest and freshest water.
The lawn watering system is plumbed to use dam water, so if gardening is your thing, there is no shortage of water, and the granite soils plants love and thrive in.

And with the cool Stanthorpe winters the house is kept warm even on the coldest of nights with an efficient wood heater. With enough dead trees on the property to harvest firewood.

Both cottages have been rented out on Airbnb, and are very popular with the city folk holidaying whilst exploring the area and enjoying the many wineries in the area. The heart felt messages and 5-star reviews speak highly of the quality and tranquil vibe of the place.
The main house also has a detached hut complete with a fireplace, perfect for special occasions or Sunday breakfast. It is one of our favouite features when its time to relax, listen to some tunes or to entertain guests with a Bbq or pizza night.

In addition to the extensive hydoponic system, complete with an automatic watering system, 2 x 20,000 litre water holding tanks, all pumps and infastructure, the main shed is a massive 28 metre by 16 metre fully enclosed with 3 large roller doors, as well as a large cool room, providing endless options for growing produce and making money.

As good as all this sounds, the best feature is the natural bush setting, the peaceful country vibe, and the breathtaking sunsets and the clear star-filled skies at night .

To experience sitting on the front verandah whilst enjoying a glass of wine or coffee, listening to the birds singing whilst taking it all in, is something you cant make happen, or get everywhere.It really is paradice.
