Subscriber only A Somerset property boasting scenic views over Lake Somerset has sold for $2.5 million at auction.
‘Whattaview’, at Hazeldean, was contested predominantly between two bidders – one from Roma, the other from Longreach, during the auction.
Ray White Rural Esk & Toogoolawah principal Wayne Jaenke conducted 32 inspections prior to the auction for the 318.86-hectare property.
“In my time in real estate, I’ve probably never set foot on country that was so perfect for grazing,” Mr Jaenke said.
“The owner had it manicured. It was weed free with improved pastures.”
The property had a three bedroom home, a five-car garage and one bathroom.
