Set on approximately 397.4 hectares around 2 hours from Brisbane, this Dalveen property is part of a significant story of Australia's rural heritage.

Centred around extensive gardens that are looped by Turner Creek, the property’s famed 150-year old Braeside Homestead is one of the original settler homes, on a pastoral run taken up by families who pioneered the cattle and sheep industry in Australia.

Over 450 roses provide a unique colour and scent throughout the grounds and amplify the hues and shapes of the acres of manicured botanical gardens.

“The owners had the vision to sculpt a ‘cold climate garden’ into the natural landscape. The Homestead combined with the natural beauty of Turner Creek and the topography have formed a natural stage for what is known as one of Australia's best country gardens covering around 12 acres,” Peter Douglas told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The renovation of the homestead combined with the seamless addition of the residence takes some time to grasp. At a glance, the dwelling looks like one. It is only once you begin to move around the homes that you begin to realise that it is 2 very private residences. There is also a cottage and manager's quarters.”

“On top of that, the 1,000 acres also runs a herd of soft Droughtmaster cows and calves which call Braeside home.”

As well as the Manager's Residence, there are three main accommodations on the property:  Braeside Residence, Braeside Homestead, and Braeside Cottage. 

Braeside Homestead and Braeside Cottage (the original kitchen for the station) are now available for overnight stays. Visitors can spend hours and days roaming the expansive landscaped gardens, discovering native sights and sounds along the property's walking tracks, relaxing in the spa, swimming in the pool or the creek, or nestling around a crackling open fire.

The property is easily managed and runs around 150 cows and calves in 8 main paddocks and several smaller holding paddocks. The owners have modernised with low-stress livestock handling facilities. Easy mustering and yard facilities have seen an increase in productivity and value.

Other buildings onsite include a farm office, machinery shed and workshop, and water is provided through a main irrigation dam, six other dams, three bores and Turner Creek.

Gravity-fed troughs are positioned in all paddocks and irrigated gardens are fully computer-controlled.
