Last Listing description (March 2024)
COASTAL LIFESTYLE UNDER CONTRACT Welcome to 418 Creevey Drive Captain Creek! This charming and spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is situated on 40 acres in the peaceful and picturesque Creevey Valley.
The benefits of this property begin as soon as you reach the front gate which provides a safe location for the local school bus to collect the kids, mail is delivered 5 days a week, bins are collected weekly, and Coles deliver groceries to your door multiple times a week. You will also notice the bus stop produce shack that neighbours utilise to sell local produce providing a wonderful community spirit.
As you meander up the all-weather driveway you will be greeted by date palms and a thriving well established Bowen mango orchard on one side which is currently fruiting ready for summer picking. The other side has a large sprawling fenced paddock with improved pasture and a dam currently running 5 head of cattle but has also supported horses in the past. The property is fully fenced with 5 internal paddocks.
As you drive further along, the house and surrounding paddocks and yard come into view. It is set well back and is not visible from the road providing extra privacy. There is plenty of space and access for vehicles of all sizes with a large turning circle at the top of the driveway. There is a 6m x 6m x 2.4m storage shed with concrete slab and multiple carports and shacks.
When you walk into the house yard you are greeted by an abundance of greenery with established lawns and edible gardens that have been created following Korean Natural Farming and Permaculture principles. There is a wide variety of fruit trees, vegetables, and herbs. Most notably citrus, dragon fruit, avocadoes (currently in flower), pineapples, tomatoes, eggplants, capsicums, and salad greens along with lavender and marigolds for the pollinators. These gardens are watered using a Wi-Fi controlled irrigation system with the water coming from the dam via Honda petrol pump and is stored in 2 x 5000 litre tanks.
Speaking of water, this property also has a Pioneer 100,000 litre tank which due to the large roof span of the home is often full offering peace of mind during any potential dry spells. This also comes in handy for topping up the above ground saltwater pool that is attached to the home with a lovely deck area and a large shade sail to keep you cool in summer.
Now let's step inside the Queenslander styled low set metal stumped farmhouse and be greeted by a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The open plan dining and kitchen area is very spacious with a huge island bench for the family. The kitchen has a double stainless-steel sink, dishwasher, plenty of cupboards and a 90cm freestanding Italian 5 burner gas cooktop with large electric oven. Casement windows open to a view of the backyard and there is a side door onto a deck that is big enough to fit a 12-seater dining table.
The lounge room is massive with high ceilings, low maintenance flooring, ceiling fans and multiple casement windows and French doors opening onto two decks allowing amazing cross breezes, light and views across the property. It also has a large wood fired heater to keep you cosy in winter.
The modern bathroom is stunning with an original restored clawfoot bath as the focus point and again it has large windows allowing light in and to view the surrounding bush. There is a 1200 x 900 shower with a dual rain shower head, lots of storage and a two-sink vanity cabinet with gorgeous timber top and designer tapware. Hot water is supplied by a gas hot water system with 2 x 45kg bottles, so you don't run out.
There are 3 bedrooms, 2 of which have Mitsubishi split system air conditioners and the 3rd has a wall mounted fan. All 3 bedrooms have multiple windows and a door that leads out to the vast front deck. The master bedroom is extremely roomy with high ceilings and currently has a super king bedroom suite and still has room to spare.
