A labour of love transforms Curra Homestead

The home boasts three large bedrooms with all rooms opening to the expansive wraparound deck via French doors.

The rebirth of a beautiful Queenslander located in Curra in the Wide Bay region combines a story of love and history.

Owners Brenda and Michael Maher have lovingly restored their beautiful homestead over the last five years, fondly named Curra Homestead.

The home was built in 1880 as a 14-room hostel in Wooloowin, Brisbane. It was first transported to Curra in 1999 and has undergone several transformations.

The home boasts three glorious large bedrooms, inviting large lounge/dining areas with all rooms opening to the expansive wraparound deck via French doors.

The classic black and white country kitchen was designed by Brenda, chef and owner.

It features top of the range Classic Falcon cooker and brass fittings throughout. A beautiful heritage bathroom completes the classic Queenslander style.

No expense has been spared in the restoration with complete interior/exterior paint, luxurious carpets and quality fixtures and fittings.

Extensive organic landscaped gardens, fruit/nut/bushtucker trees and veggie patch provide self-sufficiency, the owners dedication to permaculture and organic farming practices.

An environmentally-friendly bionizer 9m x 4.4m pool graces the landscaped gardens beside a cute renovated granny flat. A fenced one-acre paddock with a large dam houses the couples toggenburg dairy goats.

The years of meticulous renovation to period and hard yakka have now been completed and is testament to Brenda and Mick’s creative flair and commitment to the heritage of the classic Queenslander.
