Acreage Brisbane.
Hi everyone,
Can anyone advise which nice areas in and around Brisbane - not too far from the CBD still have 5 acre lots.
Thanks.

Thanks Amazulu, I'll look it up on the real estate web sites.

Anstead, Pullenvale and Brookfield are also acreage areas a bit closer to the city and they are spread across hillsides (Anstead also has lots and lots of trees ) so they catch the breezes a bit better. Anstead is the cheaper of the three but there is nothing here except nice acreage houses and trees so it depends what you're after, really. Nearby Bellbowrie has a supermarket etc. 6 minutes away. Pullenvale also has no facilities and less trees, but is a lot more expensive. Brookfield has a couple of shops and a showground, but I find it a bit sterile compared to the other two. They all have very good primary schools.
Anstead is less than 30 minutes to the CBD (19km) outside rush hour, but probably nearer to 50 minutes in rush hour. The other two are a little bit closer, but it depends how far off the main road you go.
Moggill Road reached capacity several years ago and is very busy in rush hour. There are a couple of road projects in the offing, but one of them was planned 20 years ago and will probably never happen. The other is 1 year into a 5 year feasibility study and will happen, but nobody knows where exactly or when.
There are a few acreage areas Bayside but I don't know much about them. You can also get cheap acreage further North at Burpengary (50 mins+ travel time outside rush hour) and further South at Logan but you get what you pay for.

OP, don't discount Logan and the outskirts of Beaudesert Shire (and similar areas) on the basis on sweeping generalisations. The commute however may be a bit long for you.

Their dog is more of a problem. They go out to work and leave him and he thinks our house is in his territory. He gets underneath and barks when we move about . It's quite common round here to just let your dog roam about. The crazy postlady will run one over sometime soon.

p.s. our neighbours are very nice really, they just have a stupid dog.

It might be a security thing due to the size of the blocks and how relatively easy it would be to enter a property here. I guess a narky looking cat doesn't cut it to a seasoned hard-nut

Weve only had the acerage a couple of months but its very neighbour intense here too. Pity as acerage is are so hard to find in this location, were just minutes from surf beach but close to shops so grabbed it.
however, neighbour one loves to play tennis at 6 am, if its dark they simply put the flood lights on. Plus german shepherd who roams but is not friendly to dogs or kids.
neighbour 2 has 17 chickens and a rooster , first we met of her was her rather large matronly bosom protutruding throught the grevillia hedge announcing one of our dogs was in her chicken house, he had rounded them up and sent them back, she lets them out daily and honestly belives they should wander into our property, and that the dogs should understand this
neighbour 3 seems normal, like us quite a few kids/dogs/ pool etc so you certainly know they are there as they would us.
Ride ons and bikes go constantly really if its not one property its someone else,
Far less peaceful than we envisaged, no chance of bushfire tho, the neighbours all have full sized tennis courts and massive pools, not much left for trees, and yes it is incredibly snobby :scared: especially penelope and her giant cockerel
