The bushy surrounds of Buccan are one of Logan’s “best kept secrets” according to Gold Class Century 21 Woodridge agent Beau Fillmore.
Formerly farmland for sugarcane, cotton and dairy cattle, the area became an acreage residential hideaway in the late 1970s and has retained its “country” roots.
According to Logan City Council historical records, the now disused Bethania to Beaudesert railway once cut through the middle of the suburb and had its own station mistress until 1929.
The area is rich with native wildlife, a fact recently proven to many local visitors.
During an open home for 32 Ponderosa Avenue, potential buyers were treated to an up close and personal encounter with a joey who had come close to the homestead for a drink.
“Buccan is like heaven on earth,” Mr Fillmore said.
“It’s literally just down the road from the hustle and bustle, but you feel a million miles away.
“During the first open home we had a joey hop in and start drinking from the water fountain right up near the pergola.”
Mr Fillmore, who often lists acreage properties such as the 3.81ha slice of land at 32 Ponderosa, said Buccan was one of Logan’s best hidden treasures.
“It is a place many don’t even know exists,” he said.
“It is hidden away but moments from everything you need.
“You get the best of both worlds.”
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is on the market for the first time in 20 years and has recently undergone a major renovation, with a brand new roof, freshly painted interior and upgraded kitchen.
Mr Fillmore said a home of this calibre would be impossible to build new these days due to the quality of the materials and fittings.
“The little things combine to make this home something truly special,” he said.
“There is even emergency gas lighting so you will never be left in the dark in a blackout.
“These hidden gems are details you usually find in a new build.”
The family-sized abode features a sunken lounge with extra high ceilings, a wraparound pergola overlooking forest-like surrounds and more than 90 species of bird life as daily visitors.
There is a large powered shed on the block, a dam with fire fighting pump, three water tanks and multiple outdoor entertaining areas.
Despite its quiet, rural outlook across 38,000sqm, the property is just seven minutes drive to Logan Village RSL, 9 minutes to Woolworths and 1o minutes to an array of private and public schooling options.
Priced at $1.35 million, the property is now up for sale.
