'Frogs Hollow Retreat' - a luxe country retreat located on a 3.4 acre (1.4 ha) parklike estate that boasts heritage listed buildings and 150 year old Oak tree, Elm and Pine trees.
The former Emu Vale State School operated here from 1876 to 2003, with many fabulous memories incorporated into a tasteful conversion to a modern country retreat. As custodians of the site our passionate and creative vendors have embraced its provenance and created a home that features modern convenience and is filled with heritage charm.
The main living area (complete with historic blackboard, school rules and the old school bell) is spacious and has a wonderful energy. A cathedral style ceiling with original exposed timber beams and loft louvres makes for lovely natural light and terrific airflow. This space features polished hardwood floors and a slow combustion wood fire for those cold winter nights.
The timeless modern kitchen is light and airy, capturing beautiful northern sun in winter and enjoying views of adjacent farming fields. It features stone bench tops, quality cabinetry, dishwasher and Belling oven.
3 sizeable bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom with clawfoot bath and the master suite featuring a spacious ensuite. There's a cosy study (or handy 4th bed/sleepout) with access to the fully screened rear porch and the sizeable screened entertaining deck.
The adjacent lunch shed has been cleverly converted into a lockable art studio (home office? teenage retreat? potential granny flat?) with a fabulous loft. There's 2 car accomodation in the remaining shed space.
The grounds boast an arboretum of historically significant trees, some planted by our pioneering forebears around 150years ago. A grand Oak, English Elm, Lone Pine and Bottle tree stand tall and proud amongst vintage play equipment - a favourite destination for kids of all ages!
Several garden sheds and outbuildings are currently used for storage of garden tools, mowers etc. Rainwater tanks provide water to the home, there's also a well on the property that can supply water to house and garden.
The property has been used in recent years for highly successful art workshops and short-term accomodation. The vendors are happy to discuss selling the property fully furnished - however some personal items will not be included in the sale.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic country retreat just 2hrs from Brisbane and only 20 minutes East of Warwick - a thriving regional hub well known for a busy calendar of festivals and events. We encourage your private inspection.
