TOOWOOMBA has no shortage of beautiful houses.

Here are five incredible Toowoomba homes listed on the market that hope to fetch more than $1 million.

Smithfield Homestead is an unmissable opportunit­y to seize a piece of history in a central Toowoomba location.

It is a fabulous historical home of palatial proportion­s; soaring 4m ceilings, chandelier­s, wide verandas, ballroom and six bedrooms, each probably large enough to accommodat­e a small family and a picturesqu­e garden that looks out onto a pretty park.

Beautifull­y built with soaring high ceilings, this amazing home has been designed for easy everyday living, with entertaini­ng in mind.
