11 Andrews Road, Barrine QLD 4872

4 bedroom rural house | Lake views | 1.16 hectares | 699m elevation | Solar and generator | Established gardens and shed This property offers a rare combination of substantial land, lake views, and high elevation on the Tablelands, making it competitively positioned for buyers seeking a self-sufficient rural lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to schools and services. The 541m² building footprint with high ceilings, cork flooring, and a privately positioned master suite provides genuine family separation and comfort, while the 3.8kW solar system, generator backup, rainwater tanks, and large shed with three-phase power reduce ongoing living costs and support workshop or small-scale agricultural use. The fully fenced yard, secure chicken run, and established fruit and vegetable beds add immediate utility for buyers wanting to move into productive land use from day one. The primary risk is the property’s location in a rural residential zone with NBN Fixed Wireless rather than fibre, which may limit appeal for remote workers requiring ultra-low latency, though 4G mobile coverage mitigates this. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays is a clear advantage, reducing insurance and compliance costs. The 1.16-hectare block is large enough for hobby farming or additional shedding but not so large as to become unmanageable for a single family. For a buyer seeking a turnkey rural holding with established infrastructure and low ongoing energy costs, this property should be held as a long-term family home with potential for partial rental income from the shed or land.
