Large lots surrounded by the natural beauty of Lockyer Valley make The Fairways an appealing prospect for buyers looking to set down their regional roots.
Situated on over 830 acres of elevated land, The Fairways by QM Properties has been carefully developed over the past 20 years and spans across three suburbs.
Once completed, the estate will feature over 900 homes, complemented by the existing Fairway Park, with the display village conveniently located just across from the park.
The expansive lots allow buyers to build their dream home without compromising on space.
This unparalleled lifestyle opportunity, as highlighted by Damien Ross, General Sales Manager at QM Properties, far exceeds anything offered by similar developments.
For those who love to spread out, whether it’s space for the kids or a hobbyist dreaming of a large shed or workshop, this is an exceptional opportunity that’ll be hard to pass up, he explained.
“Lots are a minimum 3000sqm, which is about seven times larger than the average new land developed in South East Queensland.
This allows buyers room for sheds, pools, gardens, and larger lifestyle homes,” he said.
Selecting the home to build is made easier by the developer, with The Fairways Acreage Display Village—the largest acreage home display village in the state—offering buyers a choice of six Queensland-based builders.

Buyers have been captivated by the large homesites that allow families to spread out.
Many buyers have relocated from Brisbane and Ipswich, seeking more space while maintaining a strong connection to thriving business hubs.
Nestled on elevated land, each lot not only resides above flood level but also boasts stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains within the Lockyer Valley.

Beloved Fairways Park has already captured the hearts of residents and families alike.
The park attracts families from across the region and is a popular destination for recreation and relaxation.
“It’s regarded as the best recreation parkland in the region,” said Mr Ross.
“Strategically located by council within the centre of The Fairways Estate, it provides locals and visitors with an amazing space for meeting, recreation, celebrations, and exercise for all the family and pets.”
The latest stages have been constructed with underground power, town water, and NBN for buyer comfort and convenience.
The display homes and recent stages are within walking distance of the highly popular 14-hectare, council-funded destination park.

Sustainability initiatives
Nature lovers will find The Fairways an irresistible prospect, thanks to its stunning natural habitat and commitment to environmental preservation.
QM Properties designed the estate to embrace and enhance the untouched natural bushland.
Collaborating closely with the local council, they integrated sustainable initiatives that go beyond regulatory requirements to protect and celebrate local biodiversity.
“We wanted to foster a deep connection to nature, and many of the homes within the estate are situated beside or adjacent to parkland or dedicated nature corridors to facilitate this,” said Mr Ross.
To ensure residents enjoy living in a natural, shaded environment, 50% of the trees at the rear of each allotment were retained, and 10,000 plants have been introduced throughout the parkland and nature corridors.
The dedicated nature corridors have been meticulously designed to link protected fauna habitat within the Fairways Park to green spaces in and around the estate.
Two wildlife crossings have been constructed under and over the roads around the Fairways Park to ensure wildlife can move safely between these corridors.
“These initiatives will grow in importance over time as more wildlife is attracted to the area,” said Mr Ross.
