Mundoolun was once a quiet suburb of Logan overlooked by most, according to a local sales agent.
But demand for blocks inside this once-hidden gem is growing, with multiple-hectare blocks like 70-72 Rosehill Court selling for over $1 million.
“It’s very much a bush lifestyle block,” Ray White Jimboomba agent Monique Clemens said.
“People think 20 acres and think commercial farming – I call this more of an adventure block.”
The 8.19ha property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac at the back of Mundoolun.
Ms Clemens said it was the perfect purchase for those chasing privacy.
“The house is right in the middle of the block, so you can’t see any neighbours or the street from the house, and you can’t see the house from the road,” she said.
“No one knows it is there, because you drive past all this farmland first.”
Properties like this one became in-demand following Covid, Ms Clemens said.
She said the land offered bushwalking and wildlife watching – including birds, reptiles and koalas – plus there is a flying fox leading into the dam.
The current owners have multiple cross-country ponies.
“Mundoolun used to be a no-name suburb that was a bit of a secret,” she said.
“It is becoming less of a secret now… but it is still more affordable than Jimboomba.
“Most of the places in Mundoolun are moving quite quickly – the residential places are selling within 30 days.”
The asking price for 70-72 Rosehill Court is $1.25 million.
The house itself offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms, six parking spots, and an extra media room and rumpus room.
“It’s a big house, great for family living,” Ms Clemens said.
“Ultimately, you’re not meant to be spending time inside – you’re meant to be spending time outside.
“But it does have plenty of space for everyone to have their own nooks and crannies to get away from each other.”
She said the perfect people to move into properties like this one were young, growing families looking to increase their land size.
While new estates around west Logan enabled families to buy bigger blocks than in suburbia, Ms Clemens said they were smaller (less than half a hectare) and required the same amount of maintenance as bigger properties in Mundoolun.
“You don’t need to do any extra work on this 20 acre block,” she said.
The current owners are the first and only people to live on the block.
Now there are three generations living there.
“Their kids have grown up at the place and they have their grandkids coming through now,” Ms Clemens said.
