A lifestyle property with commercial potential has been listed for sale in Queensland’s Fraser Coast hinterland. Timber Mill Station, located at 203 Gigoomgan Road, Brooweena, is a fully off-grid retreat spanning 35.1 hectares of rural-zoned land, offering a mix of tourism, accommodation, and agricultural uses.
The property is being sold by Expressions of Interest, with no public price guide at this stage. It is exclusively listed with Alicia Pregnell of RWC Noosa & Sunshine Coast.
“There’s definitely a growing demand for tourism and agri-tourism properties, especially those offering experiential stays,” said Ms Pregnell.
“More people are looking for something that’s not just a bed for the night – they want a whole vibe. That’s where places like Timber Mill Station really shine.”
Originally developed as a nature-based tourism venture, the property includes a number of well-established features. These include a 400-square-metre shed designed to host events of up to 200 people, an attached shed house, and a modern amenities block.
Walking tracks weave through the bushland, and the entire site runs fully off-grid with environmentally conscious infrastructure.
The current owners have focused on creating a low-impact retreat that’s already generating income through short-stay bookings, agistment arrangements, and tree harvesting agreements. Branding and marketing assets are in place, allowing for a smooth transition should a buyer wish to continue operating or expand the business.
“What people are really craving right now is that unplugged experience – time away from screens, back to basics, but not roughing it,” said the current owner, Jasmine. “There’s been a huge shift toward digital detox, wellness travel, and more meaningful experiences. It’s not just a trend; it’s a full lifestyle movement that’s growing fast.”
Timber Mill Station is one of several regional Queensland properties tapping into this growing market.
“We’re seeing short-stay, off-grid retreats outperform traditional rentals in many parts of regional QLD,” Ms Pregnell said. “Guests are chasing nature, space, and a bit of quiet – but still want creature comforts.”
