1766 Currumbin Creek Road

Currumbin Valley QLD 4223

From the private entrance framed by enormous rainforest trees rising out of the creek, the easy access driveway delivers you to nearly half an acre of flat manicured lawn adjacent to an old barn and gorgeous water holes all of which are overlooked from the deck of the highset Queenslander.
Follow the driveway further up the property to reveal another substantial flat manicured lawn behind the house which is vehicle accessible.
Keep going up the driveway and arrive at the car parking in front of the cottage which sits privately from the main residence on its level site overlooking the creek to the rear. Adjacent to the cottage is another flat, mowed terrace with two mature mango trees.
From the cottage, the property opens to a gently sloping mowed paddock ideal for a pony and adjacent to a cleared and mowed steep slope which enjoys lots of sunshine and is just waiting for you to plant your favourite fruit tree orchard.
Whilst the made driveway ends at the cottage, it continues along the route of the old cedar logging tracks as a mowed vehicle track traversable by any family SUV.
On up to the rear of the maintained acres to meet the creek at the edge of the incredible rainforest, the track then carries on up the old logging road providing for bush walks up into crown reserve land where views to the Mt Durian bluff above are breathtaking, or go the other way and rock hop up your creek and cascading waterfalls through your majestic rainforest of giant trees and buttress roots big enough to get inside. This land is the stuff of fairy tales!

The Homestead
Circa early 60's three bed one bath highset Queenslander home with wrap-around covered verandas on two sides plus a covered entrance porch and covered patio to a mudroom/laundry entrance.
High nine-foot ceilings throughout and original timber floors.
The roof, gutters, and downpipes are all only a few years old since being replaced along with new insulation. The onsite sewage treatment and water storage tank and pumps were all replaced a little more than ten years ago and have passed routine council inspections.
The original bathroom is still clean and functional with a lovely big bath and big shower. The Laundry still has the original large double concrete sink. The toilet is separate.
The kitchen is a clean and functional country style that presents well and includes an induction cooktop and dishwasher, the period-style kitchen hutch provides ample storage.
There's a pot belly fireplace in the open-plan living dining area.
Two large bedrooms with built-ins, and a third good-sized room that opens directly onto the rear veranda. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms.
As well as the established and producing vegetable gardens, the garden beds have generations of flowering bulbs. The view across your lawn is framed by the biggest Jacaranda tree you will ever see which is dripping in hundreds of stag and elk horns. There are stunning huge stands of crepe myrtle and mature large frangipani. At any time of year, there are impressive colourful blooms and scents awash the entire gardens around the home. There is a large mandarin tree that produces bucket loads of fruit every year as well as mulberry trees and a variety of other citrus including lemon, lime, cumquat, pomegranate, guava, mangos, bananas, and peaches that are all fruiting annually.
Under-house storage for all your garden tools, bicycles etc.
Reverse cycle split system air conditioning is only a couple of years old in the living room which directs down the hallway to provide year-round comfort to complement the fireplace.
The house is landline connected with reliable adsl which easily streams Netflix etc on multiple devices simultaneously.

The cottage
Two-bedroom one bath, fully self-contained air-conditioned and very private from the main residence. Presents well and is currently on a periodic monthly tenancy at $500.00 p/w, 54 sqm with a single carport, fenced yard, and 3x3 garden shed offers flexibility for a passive income, guest house, extended family, or home office. The cottage, though still lovely to live in, has experienced some shift in its foundations and could do with some remedial work.
The cottage enjoys a separate landline connected with reliable adsl which easily streams Netflix etc on multiple devices simultaneously and is also separately metered for power consumption.

The sheds
The main barn shed of about 9x6m consists of a 5.5x3m studio room with sliding glass doors at each end and windows along one side looking across the lawn toward the creek, currently used as a home gym and yoga studio. There's a 6x2.4m lockable storage container for all your tools and workshop needs. And in the centre is a 6x3.3m car parking bay with high clearance to accommodate a large caravan or 4x4.
Both the house and cottage each has 3x3m garden sheds as well as substantial under-house storage.
