There's something highly appealing about a property that simply works, where the land is accessible, the home is comfortable, and the infrastructure is already in place. Set across 16.74 hectares (41.36 acres) of gently sloping country at Forest Hill in the Lockyer Valley, this well-improved acreage offers a genuine rural lifestyle without the trade-offs. A tree-lined driveway, rolling paddocks, and a tastefully renovated four-bedroom home combine to create a property that suits families, hobby farmers, and lifestyle buyers alike.

Forest Hill itself punches well above its size, offering a well-regarded primary school, award-winning cafes, boutique shopping and classic country pubs, meaning the everyday essentials and a few of life's pleasures are close at hand.
