5857 Gayndah-Hivesville Road, Wigton

Set across an impressive 372 acres of pristine bushland, this remarkable lifestyle property offers complete privacy, natural beauty and a true sense of sanctuary. Tucked away just 18 minutes north of Hivesville and approximately one hour from Kingaroy, the property strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. A peaceful retreat surrounded by mature native forest, rolling scrub country and abundant wildlife, this is an opportunity to embrace a genuine tree change — where quiet mornings, cool breezes and expansive skies become part of everyday life. Well-established internal access tracks provide excellent driveability throughout the property, ideal for exploring by vehicle, motorbike or ATV. In addition, much of the boundary has been selectively cleared to approximately 8 metres wide, creating a substantial firebreak that enhances both access and long-term peace of mind. With three dams, secure water infrastructure and thoughtfully cleared fertile surrounds, the property offers lifestyle freedom, practicality and future potential in equal measure. At the heart of the holding sits a beautifully restored two-bedroom Queenslander timber home, rich in character and thoughtfully modernised for contemporary comfort. Crafted with home-grown ironbark timber and complemented by polished timber floors, the home blends rustic charm with refined living. The open-plan lounge and dining area flows seamlessly through twin French doors onto the newly built, full-length rear entertainer’s deck — one of three deck areas designed to capture breezes and frame the tranquil outlook. A 5kW air-conditioner and fireplace ensure year-round comfort, while wireless connectivity provides modern convenience. The remastered bathroom is both elegant and timeless, featuring a clawfoot bath, walk-in shower recess and twin hand basins. Both bedrooms include built-in cupboards and sliding timber barn doors, with the spacious master suite enjoying a warm easterly orientation and full-length French glass doors opening to the outdoors. The modern, functional kitchen is beautifully appointed with polished hardwood benchtops, induction cooktop, rangehood, dishwasher, pantry and dual fridge space. A separate laundry flows onto a smaller deck and barbecue area, alongside the charming and classic “loo with a view.” Infrastructure & Sustainability • Mains power plus 10kW solar system with battery storage • Secure water via the Proston Rural Water Scheme (fed from Boondooma Dam) • 3 x 5,000-gallon rainwater tanks servicing the home • Steel-frame shed with workshop, power and two bays • 3-bay open garden/firewood shed • Large enclosed chook run • Fully fenced house yard ideal for pets • 40m x 40m prepared shed pad above the home • Original dairy shed for additional storage The immediate surrounds of the home have been thoughtfully cleared, exposing rich topsoil ideal for establishing improved pasture while also providing a protective buffer zone.
