If you are looking for privacy, luxury, views and a little bit of history in the Noosa Hinterland then look no further. This 23-acre property has it all. A mere 30 minutes from Noosa, 45 minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport, this property is privacy personified.
Found at the end of a no-through road the 100-year-old Queenslander - the old schoolmasters' house from the nearby town of Kin Kin - was transported to this idyllic location 7 years ago and has been beautifully renovated and added to, using the highest of standards including VJ walls, ornate cornices, polished timber floors and heritage fittings.
Sitting majestically atop an undulating hill in beautifully landscaped gardens and surrounded by mature trees for complete privacy, the home also boasts glorious views of three local mountains - Mt Cooran, Mt Pinbarren and Mt Cooroora and is right on the Noosa Trail Network for horse riding and hiking.
With four generously sized bedrooms, plus large office and sewing room the house would suit a family looking for plenty of space plus the work from home option. It also offers the opportunity for an air B n B with two entrances and two separate living spaces.
A parents' retreat is situated at one end of the house with own en-suite and walk in robe, and overlooks the 9 x 5m deep, fresh-water pool which blends seamlessly into the landscape and has breathtaking views to the hills beyond.
The huge open plan living with slow combustion wood fire, dining and kitchen flows out onto a large, north-facing verandah which captures the cool breezes in summer - the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down over the hills.
This home is an entertainers' paradise. Prepare your meals in the modern equipped kitchen with walk-in pantry - while your guests sit at the bar, relax by the pool or enjoy the outdoors at the purpose made fire pit.
A second living room-come-library leads to the main, generously sized bathroom with bathtub and laundry cleverly hidden behind sliding doors.
The two front bedrooms (one of which has a large walk-in wardrobe) open from French doors onto the wide front verandah, which captures views of the mountains to one side and the horse paddocks to the other. This is the ideal spot to escape with a book, a cup of tea or merely enjoy your own privacy in this hinterland hideaway.
The property boasts a 2-car carport, a 3-bay shed, plus 2 large undercover stables and tack shed plus multiple paddocks fenced with horse-safe electric and timber fencing.
