A Rare Off-Grid Retreat on the Historic Site of the Old Thanes Creek School

A Rare Off-Grid Retreat on the Historic Site of the Old Thanes Creek School

Steeped in local history and wrapped in peaceful natural surrounds, 39 Thanes Creek Road offers something genuinely unique - an off-grid lifestyle property set on the grounds of the former Thanes Creek School, a once-bustling hub for this small goldfield community.

Today, all that remains is the tranquillity of the landscape, the wide-open rural views and the charming off-grid cabin that now stands where generations of local children once learned and played.

This is a property that speaks to both the past and the future - a rare chance to own a piece of Southern Downs history while enjoying the freedom and simplicity of modern sustainable living.

A Property With a Story
The Thanes Creek district was established in the late 1800s, originally as part of a busy alluvial gold-fossicking area. At its peak, this tiny locality featured a school, a hotel and a train station, with workers, railway travellers and farming families passing through daily.

The original Thanes Creek State School, which operated on this very site, served the local community for decades. The nearby hotel catered to travellers and stockmen, while the small rail stop linked the area with Warwick and surrounding towns - a reminder of a time when rural Queensland communities relied heavily on the railway.

While the buildings are long gone, the sense of history remains. The property still sits on the same ground that anchored the village, offering a charming and nostalgic setting for its next chapter.
