"Ghost of Mulgowie" -AUCTION Friday May 29, 2026 at 10am
Ray White Head Office: L26/111 Eagle St, Brisbane City QLD 4000
To be auctioned as is, where is.
It's a familiar story that plays out time and again. Time marches irrevocably forward; children grow up and move on with their own lives. Those that remain live their best lives content to enjoy the property they've toiled to build with their own hands until time relentlessly takes its toll and they are forced to move away from their homestead and back closer to family.
"Ghost of Mulgowie" is a time capsule; the furniture remains in place; the family photos on the walls stand a silent vigil; the china sits undisturbed in the kitchen cabinets; the clock on the wall stopped at 9 o'clock one day after all had moved on and it's been 9 o'clock ever since.
That clock remains on the wall, waiting to be wound for time to move forward once again.
Who will be the one to wind the clock?
Due to the remote nature of the property and difficulty accessing the area around the house, there will be ONE public inspection, which will occur in the week before the auction. This inspection will take several hours to complete.
The Land
160 acres of elevated and timbered Mulgowie "Yowie" country.
Surrounding properties are geared for cattle and horses
Fully fenced
Soil and Vegetation
The area is a transition zone between the fertile black soil of the valley floor and the sandier, more skeletal soils of the ridges.
Flora: You'll find hardy Australian natives including Spotted Gum, Ironbark, and various species of Wattle. The "Red Gap" name itself hints at the iron-rich, reddish soils often found in the gaps and ridges of the Lockyer region.
Wildlife: It is a quiet, secluded pocket where the primary sounds are birds and local wildlife, making it a popular spot for "lifestyle" blocks rather than industrial-scale farming.
Topography and Landscape
The terrain along Red Gap Road is not the flat, manicured plains of the lower valley; instead, it features:
Elevated Ridges: Properties here often sit on significant ground elevations, ranging from 150m to over 220m above sea level. This provides expansive views of the surrounding valley.
Rugged Terrain: Unlike the intensive vegetable farms nearby, the land off Red Gap Road is characterised by undulating hills and steep slopes. Much of it remains natural bushland or is used for light grazing.
The House
The area around the house has been reclaimed by the bush and requires significant clearing. The interior of the house remains dry indicating the roof is still doing its job. It would be a perfectly functional house with some TLC and elbow grease. Would be a great weekender!
3 Bedroom Logan kit home with separate laundry
Steel frame and steel stumping
Cypress pine floors
Completely off grid; power was coming by way of a diesel generator to the house.
Water; several rainwater tanks to house, two concrete tanks surrounding house.
Currently unequipped bore plumbed to concrete tanks.
The Surrounds
Several bird aviaries.
Cabin that sits next to the house, lived in whilst the house was built but would be good for storage.
Two sheds with dirt floors
Rough build structure which houses the diesel generator.
Located off Red Gap Road, Mulgowie, approximately 5 minutes from the Mulgowie Hotel and 20 minutes outside of Laidley.
