Last Listing description (February 2023)
This lovely 4 bedroom family home is nestled within the thriving community of Widgee, just 22 minutes west of Gympie on a parcel of 18 & a half acres of land.
The home was originally relocated to the site around 1979 from Glastonbury and was enlarged at the time to suit dual living accommodation. Further renovations since now offers the buyer three living areas, a separate dining room, a large sleep out/activity room and although the original 4th bedroom has been removed the 3mx10m sleep out could easily convert to a 4th bedroom. There are two bathrooms plus an en-suite to the master.
The spacious open plan family kitchen with central work station also has a large walk in pantry and wood burner with both a rear door and front sliding glass patio doors to a large undercover outdoor alfresco entertaining area.
There's an outdoor shed suitable as storage for farm equipment &/or horses plus a double garage that could easily fit two large or four small 4 cars.
The paddocks are separated into separate stock yards with post and wire fencing plus there's a beautiful dam to keep the livestock well watered. Some fencing may require upgrades if the new home owner or hobby farm enthusiast wants to continue to keep cattle and/or horses.
The farm currently is home to several Low Line Dexter cattle which the owner is happy to negotiate with the sale of several head if the buyer is interested.
