A hidden retreat among the gumtrees

A Cedar Vale acreage hidden behind a winding bushland driveway has been listed with a self-contained studio, truck shed, animal infrastructure and space for 16 cars.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 7 Quail Street sits on 2.81ha and is listed through Q State Properties, with offers over $1.449 million.

Built in 2016, the house has a 150sqm floorplan and is marketed as an architect-designed private retreat surrounded by bushland.

Selling agent Michelle Handbury said the property offered a rare sense of separation from the outside world.

“Properties like 7 Quail Street are exceptionally rare,” Ms Handbury said.

“From the moment you travel up the winding driveway through the bushland, you feel as though you’ve arrived at your own private retreat, completely removed from the outside world.”

The house includes warm timber finishes, polished hardwood flooring, open-plan living areas and a wraparound verandah positioned to take in the surrounding bushland.

Its separate studio accommodation includes a kitchen, bathroom, laundry and private access, giving the property flexibility for guests, extended family, work-from-home use or potential supplementary income.

Outside, the acreage has been set up for buyers who need more than a standard backyard.

The listing includes a powered truck shed, large legal-height undercroft, fully fenced dog yard, animal shelters, holding paddock areas, a large aviary or parrot enclosure, additional animal enclosures, established gardens, solar hot water and a 13kW solar system.

Ms Handbury said the property’s appeal came from its mix of design, privacy and practical lifestyle options.

“What makes this property truly special is the combination of architectural design, complete privacy and lifestyle versatility,” she said.

“It offers the peacefulness of a luxury hinterland escape while still being within reach of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.”

Ms Handbury said buyers were increasingly looking beyond a conventional house.

“In today’s market, buyers are increasingly searching for more than just a home,” she said.

“They’re looking for space, tranquillity and a connection to nature, and 7 Quail Street delivers all of that in a setting that is both beautiful and incredibly difficult to replicate.”
