116 Flaxton Drive, Mapleton, QLD, 4560, Australia

We are delighted to have the opportunity to present a historic and signature property in the district which has rarely changed hands in its long history. The Queenslander was built without compromise as a 'Gentleman's residence' in 1909 and subsequently owned by the Commissioner of Railways circa 1919 as an appropriate, prestige home on a cool mountain top in the burgeoning village of Mapleton. His dream position is now yours to own.

Salient features.
2.17 HA - 5.36 Acres. Rural Zone. Less than 1 KM on the path to the village center.
Original home. Majestic, historic 4 bedroom Queenslander built around 1909. Pressed metal ceilings, hoop pine polished floors, huge verandahs, sunroom, original decorative features, mechanical transom windows, bay windows multiple living areas.
Second dwelling - This home offers timber floors throughout, 3 bedrooms, study, 2 bathrooms, sunroom, verandah and 2 car accommodation.
The homes have individual yards and personal privacy with a Northerly aspect.

The original owner chose the best elevated acreage site in Mapleton for his home and so it remains today. The Coastal and Hinterland views are still there through some trees and views over the property to the South West can be reclaimed with some strategic pruning.
Superb land with quality red soil, largely cleared, grassed and gently sloping. A magnificent ancient fig tree dominates the small rainforest section while a grove of soaring ancient pines are stunning on the Southwest corner. The long hedge along the front is a notable garden feature in the area.

Horse enthusiasts should definitely view this fine piece of land. Fences need to placed for animals who would have access to around 3.5 to 4 grassed acres. There is a lengthy road frontage and gate to the paddocks which were originally separated into 2 areas.
The property has endless potential for a range of semi commercial pursuits, accommodation, extended family, longer term investors and people looking to refurbish the extraordinary Queenslander and land to it's full glory.

There is currently a gross rental return of around $46,000 on the homes. This can be increased by about $30,000 by renting an addition dwelling onsite. It is considered that it would be best to remove this third dwelling if you plan to live at the property.
