If walls could talk, the ones in this Queenslander at 124-132 Barnes Road, Cedar Vale, would be spinning yarns about a century of character, country charm, and a few too many cups of tea on the verandah.
Selling agent Kristie Steele from Ray White Beenleigh describes the home as a rare gem.
“It’s a 120-year-old Queenslander with stunning views, there’s just something about it that stands out,” she said.
“You don’t find homes like this often in Cedar Vale.”
Perched on five acres with views from every window – yes, even the loo has a scenic outlook – this property combines old-world charm with modern comfort.
The home has been recently painted and renovated and comes with high ceilings, hardwood timber floors, and three bedrooms.
The master bedroom now features an ensuite finished with black fixtures and floor-to-ceiling tiling.
The home was relocated to Cedar Vale in 1989, bringing its history and charm to this picturesque location.
Since 2002, current owners Gillian and David have cherished every moment here, but now believe it’s time for a sea change, giving someone else the chance to enjoy this slice of paradise.
“Everyone who has owned this home has had a connection to it,” Gillian said.
“The views feel like they’re always changing throughout the year as if it’s telling a story.”
The views are a major draw, with views from all angles.
“There are views from both sides of the house,” Ms Steele said.
“But the front is just magic, which overlooks the rolling hills of Veresdale Scrub dairy farms and the Scenic Rim mountain ranges.”
Updates to the home include a modernised kitchen with a dishwasher, new oven, and electric cooktop, all opening to the family area.
The formal dining area has new air-conditioning, and the spacious living area flows onto the large outdoor entertainment deck, offering those million-dollar views.
The property also features five acres of land, ideal for horses, a hobby farm, or a small business venture.
“It would be perfect for an artist, musician, or even as an Airbnb,” Ms Steele said.
“It’s got that really peaceful, creative energy.”
Additional features include a 9m x 6m shed with power and lighting, a 3m x 3m tool shed, and five water tanks totalling 98,000 litres.
Private inspections are now available, but Ms Steele warns that once you see the view, you may never want to leave.
“It’s one of those homes that you just have to see to believe,” Ms Steele said.
“Once you step onto that deck and take in the view, you’ll fall in love.”
