Acreage Living Secured: A First Home Buyer Success Story in the Lockyer Valley

Buying your first home is a major life moment, but for many interstate buyers in today’s market, the excitement is often overshadowed by frustration. This was the experience of our recent clients, a young couple who had spent months searching for their ideal acreage property from interstate. Every weekend, family members inspected homes on their behalf, and every week brought the same result: missed opportunities, multiple competing offers, and no clear progress.

By the time they reached out to us, they had a detailed and well-considered brief. They dreamed of settling in the Lockyer Valley—close enough to schools, local work and within 1.5 hours of Brisbane—while enjoying the lifestyle benefits that only acreage can provide. Their three dogs participate in agility training, so the land needed to be flat, fully usable and fully fenced. They required a shed large enough for training equipment, room for general storage, and a home that offered a practical, comfortable layout without the need for renovations. In short, they were willing to wait for the right property, but they were tired of losing out.

With that clarity, we got to work.

We drew on our local knowledge of the Lockyer Valley and inspected a property in Adare that immediately stood out. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this home offered far more than simply meeting the brief. Built in 2019 and immaculately maintained, it presented as a genuine turnkey opportunity. The home was positioned on 2.5 acres of completely flat land in a quiet, established estate—ideal for dogs, training equipment and outdoor living. The shed and carport provided the space they needed. The outdoor areas included a pool, firepit, and generous entertaining spaces. The fencing was secure, the block enjoyed a corner position, and our due diligence confirmed no flooding or encumbrances affecting the land.

What impressed us most was the condition. The previous owners had cared for the property exceptionally well. There was nothing to repair, nothing to update, and no surprises waiting after settlement.

When we presented the property to our clients, their relief was immediate. After months of searching and feeling deflated, they finally had an opportunity that genuinely aligned with their lifestyle and future plans. We managed the entire process on their behalf, carried out thorough due diligence, and ensured they had absolute confidence in what they were purchasing.

Their joy on securing the property has been a highlight for our team. They described it as more than they thought they would be able to achieve as first home buyers—an acreage home that supports their dogs, their hobbies, their work, and the lifestyle they have been striving for.

Every purchase tells a story, but this one is a reminder of why representation matters, particularly in a competitive regional market. When buyers are searching from interstate, missing key information, or repeatedly losing out, the right guidance can make all the difference.
