285 Burncluith Rd, Chinchilla QLD 4413

Services: Single-phase power, school bus to all Chinchilla schools at the front gate, bitumen road frontage, all-weather gravel access to the house, sheds, and yards, mail service, and mobile phone coverage.

Home: The original house was built in 1912 and has been held by the same family since 1953. This character-filled timber homestead, set within a fully fenced house yard, offers a rare opportunity to secure a piece of local history with roots dating back to the 1940s.

The rustic four-bedroom timber home is rich in character, showcasing original features including high natural timber ceilings and decorative fretwork above the doorways, all centred around a wide and welcoming hallway.

At the heart of the home, the spacious eat-in country kitchen features reverse-cycle air conditioning, an electric upright stove, and opens to an outdoor living area-perfect for relaxed entertaining. A handy office is located just off the kitchen.

The combined living and dining room continues the home's charm, featuring high ceilings and a wood fireplace, making it an inviting space year-round.

All four generously sized, carpeted bedrooms offer excellent natural light and space, each opening onto either the verandah or the enclosed sunroom.

The family bathroom includes a shower, vanity, and toilet. A second shower and toilet, along with the laundry, are located in the downstairs outbuilding.

An older, fully enclosed three-car garage sits beside the house yard.

Sheds and Improvements:

• 1 x old cottage currently used for storage (power disconnected)

• 1 x 3-bay (11 m x 9.4 m x 3.6 m) steel frame machinery shed with centre driveway, enclosed on three sides, in very good condition

• 1 x older 2-bay (12 m x 7.5 m) timber shed, enclosed on three sides, in good, solid condition

• 1 x old storage/shearing shed on stumps with timber floor and power connected (originally the old Burncluith School)

• 1 x older (6mx5mx4m) timber hay shed enclosed on three sides

• 1 x 5-tonne seed/grain silo on cement base

• All-weather road access to the house and sheds

Water: Very well-watered with two excellent lagoons and seven dams, plus approximately 9 km of creek frontage, including good near-permanent holes in both creeks (5.5 km of Branch Creek and 3.5 km of Charley's Creek). The main dam supplies water to a 5,000-gallon concrete tank at the shed and to a 5,000-gallon poly tank at the house with a pressure pump used to water gardens and supply water to the troughs in the main yards. One 3,000-gallon cup-and-saucer poly tank is connected by poly pipe to Charley's Creek (no pump). Rainwater for the house is supplied by numerous tanks totalling 12,000 gallons plus another 3000-gallons at the old cottage & sheds

Cattle Yards: Main yards on the "Blair Athol" block consist of a combination of timber and portable steel panels, with a loading ramp, two head bales, branding cradle, and two water troughs.

The second set of yards on the eastern block consists mainly of portable steel panels, a steel loading ramp, and a vet crush.

Fencing: Subdivided into 13 paddocks with a laneway running through the home block leading to the yards. All fencing has been recently maintained and is in good, older stock-proof condition. Most boundary fencing is in good condition. There is a give-and-take boundary fence along the creek with numerous crossings.

Remarks: "Blair Athol" presents a rare chance to secure a quality, sizable cattle holding on the doorstep of the thriving township of Chinchilla on the Western Downs. Tightly held by the Fraser/Wolski family for generations, with connections to the district dating back to the 1940s, this is not just a property - it's a piece of Burncluith history and opportunities like this are becoming increasingly scarce.

NB: Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves by inspection or otherwise as to the accuracy of the above details.
