2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for rural property investors in the Boonah, Kalbar, and Harrisville regions. Demand for lifestyle blocks and hobby farms remains strong, driven by buyers seeking space, privacy, and the lifestyle rural living offers. With interest rates stabilising, investors are finding the market more predictable and opportunities for solid returns increasing.
Top Tips for Investors:
Properties with water access, shedding and established fencing continue to attract strong interest.
Consider combining grazing, cropping or hobby farm properties to spread risk.
Keep an eye on zoning changes and infrastructure developments, especially around Harrisville, where demand is growing.
Recently, properties in Kalbar have been selling quickly, often above market expectations. This trend highlights the growing appeal of semi-rural lifestyle and residential blocks for both investors and owner occupiers.
