You don't have to be a golfing enthusiast to live at Hatton Vale's The Fairways

You don’t have to be a golfing enthusiast to move to QM Properties golf course development The Fairways.

Located 50 minutes west of Brisbane, the Hatton Vale development is releasing its latest stage of 24 lots ranging from 400 square metres to 9,811 square metres.

Facilities in the estate include a primary school and two nearby childcare centres.

Prices for allotments range from $99,950 to $149,500.

The Fairways first launched in June 2004 and 357 lots out of the total 545 lots have sold.

QM Properties sales manager Damien Ross believes The Fairways development to be the most affordable golf course land in Australia.

Ross says the estate traditionally attracted golfing enthusiasts but is now attracting more families looking for bigger blocks and country view outlooks.

“Many of our buyers don’t even play golf, but are attracted to the large blocks and country style outlook.

“We have a large percentage of buyers who are moving there from other smaller lot residential subdivisions,” says Ross.

Ross says there is a strong sense of community in a golf development that you don’t really get in high-density living.

Residents include RAAF reservist and former F-111 aircraft engineer Darrly Prestidge and his family.

Prestidge built a six-bedroom, three-bathroom home.

“We got fed up with the noise and really wanted to have somewhere quieter that gave us room to build a big house for the family,” says Prestidge.
