173 Pipeline Road Meringandan QLD 4352

Perched across 83 elevated, flood-free acres rolling down to bushland and a small dam at the rear, this is rural living at its most complete — quality blacksoil cultivation, a sealed road frontage rare enough to double as a land-banking play, and one of the finest homestead builds to come to market on the Eastern Downs. You're 3 minutes from Lake Cooby, 5 from a cold beer at the Meringandan Pub, 8 to Highfields, and 20 to Toowoomba — close enough for the school run, private enough to forget it exists.

The land itself works as hard as it looks good. Divided into three paddocks, two are established blacksoil cultivation with contour banks across a combined 22 acres, with the balance falling away to bush and water — country built for production, lifestyle, or both.

The Homestead
Built in 2015 and custom designed across 410m² under roof, “Coobindah” was planned around one idea: make the most of the views. Every window frames rural vista, and with 9ft ceilings, decorative cornice, spotted gum floors and a wraparound colonial verandah, the home has the presence to match its outlook.

A large timber entrance door opens to a dedicated foyer — media room to one side, behind sound-proofed, coffered ceilings — and reveals the main event beyond: a sweeping living, dining and kitchen zone built for the view as much as for entertaining. A remote-controlled ceramic log fire anchors the room, framed by a 42-inch built-in TV and custom cabinetry either side. The kitchen doesn't hold back — 40mm double-thickness stone benchtops, a butler's-style walk-in pantry with wine rack and custom shelving, a coffee station, ceramic cooktop, near-new Asko dishwasher and full-sized S/Steel fridge and freezer pair. Two crimsafe-screened sliding doors open the whole space onto a north-facing alfresco, tiled and shaded for year-round use.

The home is zoned with genuine separation: a parents' retreat to the eastern wing, children's and guest quarters to the west. The master suite is dual-aspect with a generous walk-in robe and a luxury ensuite that earns the description — a freestanding bath with a view, oversized shower, his-and-hers stone-top vanities and its own ceiling heating. A sixth bedroom, office or nursery sits nearby with built-in storage. Down the extra-wide hallway, three further queen bedrooms with built-in robes share a second large bathroom, while a sound-proofed games or rumpus room (a flexible fifth bedroom) and a powder room complete the wing. A large laundry and mud room adds abundant storage, a bench sink and a second fridge for the overflow, and a spacious internal double garage — with epoxy flooring and its own walk-in store — opens straight off the hallway.

Ducted air-conditioning with individual room control, blinds or curtains throughout, feature and dimmable lighting, and abundant built-in storage run through the entire home — nothing here has been left as an afterthought, right down to twin gas hot water systems for genuine, whole-house comfort.
