'Forestgate' is a safe bet in dry times with its abundance of feed from fertile vine scrub soils at the base of Mt Davidson with a fantastic body of natural grasses like Kikyua, Gatton Panic, Rhodes and creeping blue couch grass to name a few allowing heavy carrying capacity. Water security is provided by a great bore and is reticulated throughout the property using solar power plus 6 extensive dams. Quality fencing, laneway system to top cattle yards with loading ramp and stock handling facilities plus a large powered barn style shed with automatic roller door and built-in workshop provides easy management.

The circa 1910 homestead is privately situated at the end of bitumen road access and features 5 large bedrooms, 1 office, 2 bathrooms, multiple formal or casual living and entertaining areas with a massive deck and wrap around verandah overlooking park-like surrounds and the flood lit full size tennis court. It has been sympathetically conserved by its custodians over the years to embrace the history and ensure its original character lives on whilst maintaining a modern family lifestyle.

"Forestgate" would also suit a commercial venture to grow and expand a lucrative business opportunity like a wedding venue, farmstay or BNB, given its eastern location and close proximity to Toowoomba, The Darling Downs and The Lockyer Valley.

"Forestgate' is unquestionably the finest property in this coveted hinterland area to be presented to the market and the decision has been made to sell.
