Last Listing description (January 2020)

All power is generated off grid with solar panels capable of generating 11-kilowatt hours and the lithium phosphate batteries able to store up to 8-kilowatt hours. In addition to normal household electricity consumption the system also caters for an electric buggy (for silent wildlife drives) and power for an Ozzie Kleen sewage unit.

Water is stored in four 25,000-litre tanks. Three of the tanks can be filled by rainwater. However, all four tanks can be filled by an 8 mega-litre per year allocation from Moogerah Dam. Two independent pumps facilitate the watering of the bamboo. There is also a small dam and the facility to store water underground. A mains water system has been installed around the bamboo and out into the native forests with numerous taps as off-take points.

Access into the property is via a 700 metre gravel and bitumen road.

The home is uniquely designed by the current owners and built in 2004. The house sits on a proud ridge (the rim of the old crater lake) faces north to see the Flinders Peak, east to Mount French and south to the Mount Edwards. The west is protected by the craters rim. The open plan living, dining and kitchen area has flooring made of bamboo and the raked ceilings give you that extra feeling of height and space. The kitchen features a unique, geological bench, designed to tell the story of Gondwana with rocks from Africa, India and South America. There is no other kitchen bench like it.

Changing weather conditions are well catered for with reverse cycle air conditioners and a cosy wood heater. The extra large and long deck is where most time will be spent with the pull of nature and the mountain providing feelings of connection and serenity. It is also an excellent play deck for children in any season. The main bedroom is secluded from the rest of the house for extra privacy. It has its own large en-suite and large walk-in robes. The bamboo forests and mountain can be viewed from bed and the floor is made of polished Sydney Blue Gum. There are two more bedrooms and a second toilet and shower room.

A covered breezeway between the main bedroom and house provides the perfect place to cook and barbeque.

This property is genuinely unique with a volcanic history that significantly contributes to knowledge of Australias journey from Antarctica to just south of New Guinea and Indonesia (the present position). Bushwalks through the native forests display an engaging variety of plants and insects. Wildlife abounds with two types of wallabies, koalas, monitor lizards, echidnas and countless varieties of birds and butterflies.
In addition there is a sizable 18m x 7.6 metre shed containing a large, insulated studio with tiled floor and air conditioning, a double lock-up garage, and a double carport.
There are a number of fruit trees and raised vegetable beds. A small second shed stores wheelie bins of bamboo mulch, bamboo bio char and a bamboo char, pyrolising trough. Bamboo mulch reduces evaporation around plant roots and bamboo bio-char helps to keep water, trace elements and beneficial microbes next to and around the root zone.

The main shopping centre is Boonah, which is a 15-minute drive. Boonah has both primary and secondary schools, a school bus service, a summer swimming pool, medical and dental facilities. Local fruit, vegetables, bakery and fuel are within 4 kilometres at Aratula. Lake Moogerah is just 7minutes away for fishing boating or swimming. Brisbane International Airport is a one and a half hours drive.

The Scenic Rim is a chain of extinct volcanic mountains and landforms that burst into existence around 24 million years ago. 30 Gorge Road is an extinct volcanic crater within this mountain range. The soils and rocks exhibit evidence of volcanic ash falls, volcanic gas bubbles, sticky lava flows and the presence of an ancient volcanic crater lake. The floor of the crater-lake is a rich red, well-drained soil and now supports four small forests of clumping bamboo. The bamboo is non-invasive and has been planted 7 metres apart in equilateral triangles. Avenues are created by the bamboos arching overhead and provide for a peaceful and tranquil morning or afternoon stroll. The bamboos include species from South America, Indonesia, New Guinea, Malaysia, Mexico and China. There are safe, wide, open spaces for children to play and experience nature. The large southern deck at the house looks across the top of the bamboo forests and up at a sheer wall of rock rising some 440 metres above the crater floor. To be in this space is a beautiful experience. To live in this space (with its earth stories) is spine tingling wonderful.

40 Gorge Road is a location providing a great foundation for engaging with nature and earth. It is an ideal environment to raise a family where individuals can grow in self-confidence and gain a strong connection to earth. A great bolt-hold from where to venture out into our rapidly evolving society. Properties like this are truly rare. Contact Geoff Paulsen & Ally Briscoe for your welcomed inspection.
