PROPERTY agents say horse facilities are an integral part of the modern-day tree change.
People, discovering they can work from home, are looking for an opportunity to own and house horses, other farm animals, and perhaps grow their own fruit and vegetables.
One house which has hit the market in Jimboomba fits the bill, with the added bonus of access to scenic horse trails on the Birnam Range.
The five-acre property at 2 Monmouth Court features stables, a round yard, paddocks, a dam and a horse wash bay, as well as a 6m x 6m shed for foaling, a tack room and feed.
DMH Realty director and agent for the property Chyerl Pridham said it was well suited to first time acreage buyers.
“The property would be great for first time acreage buyers, people with animals, particularly horses and families that want a little bit of space and the ability to spend time outdoors,” she said.
The property also has a four-bay powered colorbond shed and a bonus room attached to the home with separate entry and air conditioning for a home-based business or office.
Ms Pridham says entry to the Birnam Range trails is just metres away.
“Since 2013, Jimboomba has seen significant growth as it sits in one of the fastest moving growth corridors in Southeast Queensland, eventually it will be cut up, but in the meantime, it is a gorgeous location close to everything,” she said.
“This property is just mere minutes away by car, from all the amenities that Jimboomba has to offer, plus at the end of the street there are endless horse trails on the Birnam Range.”
The property’s owners, David and Barbara said they will miss their acreage lifestyle and their back veranda.
“Our family is all grown up and we are moving on to our next stage of our lives,” they said.
“We will miss the privacy, the space and the lifestyle that this property afforded us.”
“Many hours were spent on the back veranda looking at the property, our children and our animals.”
The couple said they hope the new owners “enjoy it as much as we did.”
