Description
We are a hobby farm located on 5 acres in the beautiful Samford Valley region currently providing care to horses.
Just a 5 minute drive out of the charming Samford Village.
Being just 10 minutes from the closest Train Station there is easy access to experience everything that the Brisbane CBD has to offer including the South Bank precinct, the beautiful Botanical Gardens, Story Bridge, Museums, nightlife and more.
It is also possible to do a day or overnight trip down the coast to the Gold Coast, the Gold Coast being located approx. 1 hour away.
Perfect for horse, animal and nature lovers.
Experience with horses is preferred however definitely not essential as there are plenty of jobs around the house and farm that don't require horse handling.

The farm was peaceful and beautiful. Photographs can't contain all of its beauty. Sunrise and sunset everyday were perfect. It's 30 minutes away from City, and they gave me a ride to the station if needed. Ged prepared a bicycle so that I could explore the bush and samford village. They… read more
