A private lake, totalling 25 acres, on a 320acre farm, just one hour from the centre of Brisbane in the Scenic Rim Regional Council. A farm stay with privacy, space and stunning scenery for guests to relax. Views of the lake, Mount Walker and the Great Dividing Range. Plenty of fish in the lake for keen anglers. Bird watching. Private walking tracks. Large windows to take in the lake, farm and mountain views. A veranda and fire pit. Shady trees by the lake to sit, picnic and fish. Walk down to the Bremer River to look for platypus, koala or echidna. Escape to the country and create some memories.
