Rainforest Retreat: Charm, Privacy, Peace
Live a life of peace and tranquillity, in harmony with nature, in your own private, secluded 20-acre forest sanctuary; so quiet with only the sweet bird song breaking the silence, you will truly feel tucked away from the stress and frenetic pace of the busy coastal strip and the humdrum of suburbia.
There are two liveable dwellings on-site; the first is an early-20th century Queenslander, originally the Sailing Club at Mooloolaba, moved to the property in 1988. The second is a modern, highset, steel-framed fully self-contained studio which could be used for multiple purposes including dual living (stca).
The original, character-filled home comprises timber deck at entry, three bedrooms, one bathroom, country-style kitchen with walk-in pantry, formal dining, and expansive lounge/sunroom with banks of windows inviting in light and gentle breezes. A double carport with workshop space adjoins.
Features of the home include high ceilings, VJ walls and ceilings, casement windows, hardwood timber floors, 900mm electric oven with gas cooktop, built-in bench seating with storage, and gas hot water. Filled with lashings of charm and warmth, it will resonate at an emotional level with buyers who appreciate homes of this vintage.
The air-conditioned studio comprises two rooms suitable as bedrooms, open plan living with stainless steel kitchenette, sitting room/office, bathroom with separate shower and bath, and elevated covered timber deck overlooking forest; underneath there is a 3x12m concrete slab/workshop area. It is also serviced by gas hot water.
Infrastructure on the property includes tree-lined driveway through the forest – chicken pen, septic system, 20-foot shipping container, 4 x water tanks: 10,000, 22,500, and 5,000 litres on house, plus 30,000 litres on studio.
The majority of the property mostly looks after itself with the only cleared section in and around the house and studio; there are established fruit and vegetable gardens providing fresh produce and there is flat grassy space for children to play. The rest of the property is heavily forested, home to an abundance of wildlife, and there is a delightful creek flowing through the bottom of the block.
Despite the feeling of being nestled amongst the wilderness, it's only a five minute drive to the village of Kin Kin and local primary school, 12 minutes to Pomona, and when it's time for a swim in the sea – 45 minutes to beautiful Laguna Bay at Noosa Heads.
If you've ever dreamt about escaping the rat race and embracing a slower, gentler life, then you need to see this!
