Queensland is famous for its rich landscape, and this midcentury home, just 25 minutes drive from downtown Brisbane, offers proximity to the city and 10 acres of rainforest.

Located in the suburb of Brookfield, the three-bedroom cottage is offered for $1.25m via Franzwa Van Vuuren of Brisban West Real Estate. It’s been freshly treated to a monochrome interior make-over, with white-washed breeze block walls and black window trims, though there’s ample opportunity for remodelling.

Living spaces are free flowing, with French doors that open onto the veranda and garden, with the forest beyond.

The cottage is cute, but more spectacular is the wildlife-rich forest surrounding the home, which perches high on a hill, with panoramic views across Brookfield Valley.

A large work shed is also on the grounds, with potential as a home studio.
