Hilltop oasis in Noosa hinterland
Escape to the country at Sunshine Coast hinterland retreat with range and valley views
Sunshine Coast
Don't miss out on the headlines from Sunshine Coast. Followed categories will be added to My News.
THIS immaculately presented home on 118acres would suit families seeking a comfortable rural lifestyle or those looking for a stunning weekender for their slice of country-style with instagram vignettes at every turn.
The house is set 500m back from the road on the hill and captures the beautiful breezes.
The focus of the home is firmly on the relaxed open spaces, taking in the breathtaking 360-degree views to the Kenilworth Bluff and Mary Valley. These wintery mornings are spent relaxing in front of the fireplace and watching the mist rise to reveal the enchanting green valley where the Obi Obi and the Mary Rivers meet.
A foodie's paradise, the open plan kitchen and dining area features a walk-in pantry, two-pac cabinetry, stone bench tops and quality European appliances. The large large kitchen garden with fully automatic watering system will satisfy your hunger for fresh produce. When you're not collecting duck or chicken eggs, harvesting your own honey from your beehive, or picking fruit from the 60-tree orchard you can seek solitude riding through the numerous horse trails directly accessible through the state forest.
You have full water security thanks to a remarkable irrigation system which includes: crystal-clear drinking bore water; three 25,000 litre tanks; gravity-fed water to all tanks and cattle troughs; and a series of high-pressure water rises across the property for irrigation.
With significant infrastructure including metal cattle yards and crush, run your own cattle or put the land out for agistment to make additional income. The owners currently lease an additional 700 acres (300 fenced acres) of forestry behind the property under a stock grazing permit leased from HQ Plantations.
Over the past decade, the owners have used the property as a weekender, their professional offices, and as a family home. It's now time for someone else to make this piece of Sunshine Coast hinterland paradise their own.
There are 10 fenced paddocks, metal cattle yards and crush, a three-bay lockable shed with power, water, septic and security lighting, plus a four-bay concrete floor machinery shed with power, water, security lighting, work benches, storage shelving, and drawers.
Other infrastructure includes a molasses tank, three 25,000L water tanks including two rainwater tanks, drinking-quality bore water, seven gravity-fed cattle troughs, and numerous high-pressure water risers around the property for irrigation.
You have nine dams, one spring-fed lagoon, 60 fruit frees including mature avocados, macadamias, citrus and tropical stone fruit.
And then there are raised vegie gardens and a predator-proof chicken palace with plumbed water and chicken treadle feeder.
