Troy Cassar-Daley and Laurel Edwards relist Vernor farm
Title TattleDecember 7, 2020

Country music star Troy Cassar-Daley and his 4KQ Brisbane radio presenter wife Laurel Edwards are selling their Queensland farming getaway.

It has been listed for March 29 auction.

Cassar-Daley, who was born in Sydney's Surry Hills in 1969, but moved to Grafton when he was young, loved his fishing on the Vernor property which fronts the Brisbane River an hour west of the Brisbane.

Edwards would ride horses across the four hectare estate.

It has two main paddocks, cattle yards and multiple day shelters.

There's been many a music jam with friends and family on the verandah that overlooks the scenic river.

It was marketed last year with a negotiable $680,000 guide, but failed to sell.

The couple, who paid $630,000 in 2007 for the property, are reluctantly selling now their kids, Clay and Jem, are all but grown up.

A charming two-level, four bedroom family home is surrounded by mature trees and established gardens.

The property is divided in to two fully fenced main paddocks, with machinery, stables, cattle yards and a veggie garden.

The couple, who wed in 1996 when Cassar-Daley was sporting a then fashionable mullet, have been based at Brisbane's Balmoral for over two decades, upgrading homes in 2004 when they spent $2 million on a 1930s home with a swimming pool looking out to the city. 

He was 11 when he first went to the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

His big break came when he replaced James Blundell as the lead singer of country music band, The Blue Heeler Band. 

The first single "Dream Out Loud" was released in 1994 by Sony Music and reached number-one on the Australian country music charts.

Cassar-Daley won the 1995 ARIA Award for Best Country Record. 

He's gone on to win a further three ARIA Awards and 36 Golden Guitars in a career spanning over 30 years and 10 studio albums.
