FACT- Cost to build a house - $2800 and $4950 a square metre
Building a house in Brisbane usually costs between $2800 - $4950 a square metre, according to recent construction industry research.

That means building a build for this massive 640sqm house under roof, even starting at the lower end will cost $1.7M.

An outer Brisbane 300sqm block yes block, not house, on the lower end will cost $200,000. Here you get an entire 40 acres.

Yes its not new, a few aesthetics and updates wouldn’t go astray, but dollar for dollar you are at least a million dollars ahead.

Here’s a deal that’s almost too good to be true! With a massive 640 sqm homestead on 42 acres of land, this property is the ultimate combination of luxury, privacy, and value. Priced TO SELL offers over $650k -you simply cannot build a home of this scale for less than $1.7M in today’s market—let alone on acreage like this.

Let’s Talk Value:
Building costs in Brisbane today range from $2,800 to $4,950 per square metre. That means constructing a home of this size—640 sqm under roof—starts at $1.7M on the lower end.
• And that’s just for the house!
• A 300 sqm block of land in Brisbane’s outer suburbs will set you back at least $200,000.

Here, for less than the cost of the house alone, you get a sprawling homestead plus 42 acres of picturesque land. That’s a saving of over $1 million—an absolutely stunning opportunity that won’t come around again.

The Homestead:
This solid, character-filled family home is perfectly suited for tropical living and entertaining:
• 4 large bedrooms, all with built-in robes.
• Master bedroom features a walk-in robe, spa bath, and ensuite.
• A spacious gallery kitchen with endless bench space, gas cooking, dishwasher, and pantry.
• Multiple living areas: a formal dining room, huge lounge room, and separate family room.
• 2 bathrooms, separate toilet with hand wash basin, and a large indoor laundry with ample storage.
• Double French doors open onto wraparound verandas, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Built for Comfort and Sustainability:
• Perfectly designed for the tropics with cross-ventilation, fans, and wide verandas. There’s no need for air conditioning here.
• Attached 2-bay lock-up garage with internal access.

The Land:
• 42 Acres with one fenced paddock, perfect for grazing, hobby farming, or creating your own retreat.
• Lush rainforest backdrop with a creek on the property’s eastern side.
• Regular visits from wallabies, cassowaries, and abundant birdlife add to the natural charm.
• Stunning views of surrounding mountains and rainforest.

Practical and Convenient:
• Just 20 minutes to Innisfail CBD and 75 minutes to Cairns CBD.
• Reasonable rates at $3,500/year.
• 4WD access recommended in the wet season (something a few truckloads of gravel wouldn’t fix).
