Stokes Cottage In Queensland Australia

Stokes Cottage In Queensland Australia

Here’s something very unique.

In the hills outside Brisbane, Australia, there is an area called Pine Mountain.

Here you will find Stokes Cottage – a rare surviving part of Pine Mountain Colonial history.

Stokes Cottage in Queensland Australia

Situated on 8.65 acres, Stokes Cottage was built by Edward Stokes for his wife and children after he purchased the land in 1865.

The property remained in the stokes family for the next 116 years.

The country church building which now makes up the central part of the ‘Stokes Cottage’ property was built in 1901 at Deep Creek in the Brisbane valley.

The church was much later sold at auction to the current owners who had it moved and incorporated into the Stokes Cottage compound.

Have a look inside…

Isn’t it stunning?

Stokes Cottage is being offered for auction in mid-February. No word on a starting bid price.

It features a high cathedral ceiling and mezzanine bedroom in what was once a choir loft.

Beneath the loft is the kitchen and bathroom.
