A 125-year-old homestead once located on the site of Brisbane’s Story Bridge is now for sale in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

The home was originally in the Kangaroo Point area but was marked to make way for the construction of the bridge in the 1930s.

The house sold at auction for 100 pounds and was relocated several times before it was moved to Peachester in 2019, before undergoing restoration.

The owners of the home, which features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, retained its original features and craftmanship.

The residence features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, spacious living and expansive views from an elevated position on 100 acres.

Remax Hinterland’s Michael Reck said the property boasted historic Queensland style.

“Story Bridge Farm offers true lifestyle living with space, privacy and natural beauty,” he said.

“It really is an ideal home from those seeking peace away from the city.

“It’s located between Brisbane and Noosa, in the hinterland, with easy access to city amenities while still maintaining the tranquility of the countryside: a winning combination for many of our interested buyers.”

The Peachester home has views over the farmland.

No.211 River Road offers native bushland, cleared paddocks and elevated ridgelines with sweeping views across valleys to hinterland escarpments and the Glass House Mountains.

“The land is rural zoned and just under 42 hectares, which offers new owners a myriad of possibilities for use, whether its boutique livestock, orcharding, equestrian use, farm stays or something else completely,” Mr Reck said.

“The house is perched atop the property and captures stunning views of the hinterland, but it’s also well and truly equipped to support whatever lifestyle the new owners seek, with generous outbuildings and ample space.”

The property also features a large four-bay shed, enclosed workshop, 70,000-litre water storage plus multiple dams and Stanley River frontage.

It includes a greenhouse, raised garden beds and orchard with separate water storage and automatic watering system, a 42.6kWh solar battery with 12.7kW panels and EV charger, plus stockyards and a cattle crush.
