Perched high at the top of the Old Orchard Estate in popular Palmwoods, this grand Queensland style lady was the original farmhouse. Built in 1939 she once presided over strawberry fields and orange orchards. Now one of the highest houses in Palmwoods looking out over the estate and surrounding hills, parks and bushland. Whilst there is still scope for value adding, her huge renovated kitchen, modernised bathrooms and new floor coverings, huge wrap around decks and swimming pool mean that most of the big ticket renovating items have been completed.

It’s not terribly often that you can find an older Queenslander style home in the midst of a popular housing estate, so if your tastes lean to something a little grander and with some personality this character home may have your name written all over it.

Our owners are heading south to be closer to family.
