A Full Acreage Lifestyle – Without Giving Up the Convenience of Town
There is something immediately appealing about arriving at 122 Helendale Drive, Helidon Spa. Set across approximately one hectare of predominantly flat, usable land, this is a property where there is room for the family, room for the toys, room to entertain and room to simply enjoy having some space around you, yet Toowoomba remains less than 20 minutes away.
For buyers who have dreamed of an acreage lifestyle but don't want to disappear into the countryside, the location may be one of this property's greatest assets. Toowoomba's CBD, major shopping, schools, medical facilities and employment are all within easy reach, while heading east puts Brisbane approximately 105km away. It makes Helidon Spa an attractive middle ground between Darling Downs lifestyle living and South-East Queensland accessibility.
Set well back from the road amongst established gardens, the substantial brick residence has the relaxed scale that acreage living deserves. Inside, the home provides four bedrooms, including a privately positioned master suite with ensuite and walk-in robe, together with generous everyday living and dining spaces.
Then there is a feature many families will immediately fall in love with, a dedicated home theatre. With its enormous projection screen, darkened surrounds and reclining seating, movie nights, Saturday sport and family evenings at home can become something of an event in their own right.
The kitchen sits naturally at the heart of the home, connecting with the main living and dining areas while looking out towards the grounds. There is a sense of space throughout, but it is outside where this home really begins to distinguish itself.
Extending across the rear of the residence is an exceptionally large covered outdoor entertaining precinct, providing an enormous amount of protected space for dining, relaxing and entertaining in every season. There is room here for the long table filled with family and friends, a quieter sitting area around the fireplace, and the outdoor bar, a large, fenced spa retreat, all overlooking the property's broad lawns and gardens.
On a block of this size, that connection between the house and the land matters. Here, the approximately 10,000m² allotment is largely flat and usable, opening up possibilities for families, gardeners, hobbyists, pets, additional recreational spaces or simply those wanting the privacy and breathing room that suburban living rarely provides.
The existing owners have also put considerable thought into making the property practical and increasingly self-sufficient. Brand-new solar and battery storage help reduce reliance on grid electricity, while rainwater storage, bore water with pump, multiple sheds and extensive vehicle/workshop accommodation add another layer of versatility.
Garden lovers will find plenty already established. Around the home are mature landscaped areas and a collection of fruiting and edible plants, incorporating both native and exotic varieties, creating the beginnings of the type of productive acreage garden that can take many years to establish.
For anyone needing storage, a workshop or somewhere to accommodate vehicles, trailers, a caravan or equipment, the shedding is another major attraction. The large detached shed provides substantial enclosed accommodation, complemented by further utility shedding and the generous hardstand and driveway areas around it.
