THE RECTORY
This much loved 213 sqm home was built in the early '80s as a church rectory for the minster and their family to live in. It was eventually sold in 2016.

This 3772 sqm property is divided into a driveway, paddock, private front garden, and secure back garden.
Double carport off the main dwelling, two garden sheds 3m x 3m and 6m x 2m.
The entrance driveway is perfect for guest parking and wide enough to turn a large trailer or caravan.
The entrance to the paddock is directly off the driveway with the potential to build a wide carport there for storing the caravan and /or cars. The paddock would be a great spot for a huge barn-style shed.
Well set back from the road, surrounded by open space and with only one neighbouring house at the front, this property is very private.
Walking distance to two local primary schools, bus stops, McIsaac Road shops, Westside Performing Arts Centre; and the Mooroopna main street.
