This 18 acre property offers rich, grow anything, volcanic soil, tank and bore water (suitable for stock, garden and household use) a superb climate for growing food year round. It is only 4 minutes drive to a thriving community with 2 primary and 1 high school, supermarkets and local businesses for all your needs. The city of Bundaberg (with Bargara beach and Mon Repos only another 10 minutes) and Woodgate beach are only 30 minutes drive away.

The house is a solid hardwood, 2 storey, 50’s weatherboard construction on concrete stumps. Set away from the road and nestled into the north eastern side of the hill, this property offers spectacular views and complete privacy.

There are hardwood timber floors throughout the upper storey, with tiles in the toilet and bathroom. It has 3 huge bedrooms, 2 with large built in cupboards. The kitchen is also very spacious, with views to the northeast and sunshine warms it on winter mornings.

Downstairs has been renovated to provide a sizeable rumpus or alternative living area, extensive storage cupboards, kitchenette, plus a studio/bedroom with French doors and hardwood floor. There is also the laundry and a second toilet with plenty of room to add a bathroom to create a granny flat or B&B.

French doors also lead out from the kitchenette to a paved area under the verandah, a pizza oven and vege gardens.

It has a one car garage underneath the house, with room to the side for tools/tack room etc and built in storage cupboards.

Upstairs has had the kitchen, bathroom, front entryway/sunroom,lounge room, toilet and vanity area renovovated. The renovations are continuing onto the bedrooms until the property sells, as time permits. We are more than happy for you to finish it yourself or get a few tradesmen in and have it ready to go in a couple of weeks and negotiate a cheaper purchase price.

There is a good bore with a firefighter pump plus two 6000 gallon water tanks, one collecting only rain water which feeds to the kitchen, bathroom and kitchenette sinks for drinking water, and the other holds rain and bore water, which is suitable for all household, garden and stock requirements.

The property is fenced and has supported 4 fat horses and a cow without supplement feeding except during severe drought. There is also a big chook pen just outside the house yard. We have had very little trouble with foxes, and have not spotted any cats or feral dogs, so our chooks tend to live long, productive lives.

Grid connect solar panels give provide a rebate of around $1,100 a year on electricity costs and there is also a solar hot water system with an electric booster.

There are various established fruit trees, including 4 large mango trees,macadamias, lots of varieties of citrus, lychees, bananas, pomegranate, mulberries, avocado and figs, to name a few.

Over the last eight years, the bush has been allowed to come back and the animals have been rotated around 4 different paddocks for good pasture management and a selection of native scrub trees have been planted. The birdlife and other fauna has increased dramatically and thus we share our world with creatures such as bandicoots and kangaroos, quails and kingfishers, finches, wrens, kestrels, eagles, parrots, honeyeaters and at times, hundreds of butterflies.

This is a very special piece of land and we will be sorry to say goodbye, but separate paths now call us both and this dream belongs to someone else.
