785 Murgon Gayndah Road, Merlwood QLD 4605 - 8.72 ha / Almost 22 Acres

Imagine waking up to the gentle breeze of the countryside, sipping your morning coffee while watching the sun rise over your sprawling 22 acres. Welcome to 785 Murgon Gayndah Road, a property brimming with potential-a place where your dreams of country living and self-sufficiency can come true.

This is not just a house - it's an opportunity. This unique property offers two homes, giving you the freedom to live, invest, and enjoy the fruits of your labour, all in one place.

The main home, built in 1986, is a warm and welcoming 4-bedroom retreat, featuring spacious living areas perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and family time. Picture yourself in the large kitchen, cooking up a storm and chatting with loved ones, while the stunning walk-in/butler's pantry provides all the space you need. A wood heater keeps you warm on cooler evenings, while air-conditioning ensures comfort all year round. But the real highlight is the massive council-approved timber deck, offering uninterrupted views across the property. This is the spot where Friday nights are made - perfect for a BBQ, a glass of wine, or a quiet evening of stargazing with friends.

The second home is a solid 3-bedroom property, perfect for guests, extended family, a rental income, or even to run your business or office from! Its open-plan design ensures that it's easy to move in and make your own, with a front verandah that's ideal for soaking in the inspiring views of the countryside.

Step outside, and you'll find a true country oasis. There are multiple sheds, stables, and a separate 2-car powered garage with an attached carport, providing ample space for your horse float, caravan, boat, or motorhome. You'll never run out of space to store tools, toys, or other necessities.

The land itself is a dream, with a mix of fruit trees and plenty of room to grow your own food. Imagine walking through your orchard of olive, guava, lychee, macadamia, loquat, pecan, citrus, Jabuticaba and mulberry trees, harvesting fresh produce for your table. The property is fully equipped for self-sufficiency, with town water, 6 water tanks (connected to both homes), and a dam for irrigation. The home is connected to mains power, plus a fantastic solar power system, electric hot water, and a gas stove, making this an eco-friendly haven.
And that's not all - there's a world of opportunity here. Whether you want to run a hobby farm, grow your own produce, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of country life, the choice is yours. The previous owner successfully grew licorice, garlic, and turmeric, so there's plenty of potential to continue and expand. You could even rent out the second home for extra income - a perfect way to turn this dream into a profitable venture.

Location is just as impressive as the property itself. You're only 9 minutes from Murgon, providing easy access to shopping, schools, and amenities, and 39 minutes to Kingaroy for all your big-box shopping needs, including Woolworths, Aldi, and Bunnings. For beach lovers, the Sunshine Coast is just 2 hours away, making weekends by the ocean a breeze.
In addition, the area offers plenty of outdoor attractions, including golf at the Murgon or Proston Golf Clubs, cooling off at the Murgon Swimming Pool, or getting active cycling on the scenic rail trails. There's also wineries in Moffatdale, fishing and boating at Boondooma and BP Dams, scenic hikes in the Bunya Mountains, and unforgettable stargazing at the Kingaroy Observatory.
