Last Listing description (June 2023)

This beautiful 40 acre property offers a peaceful lifestyle, and income, plus a great social life! The central location with close proximity to the highway make this a very exciting property to offer for sale.

The main house boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a large outdoor entertaining area overlooking the 15m lap pool and Bali Hut. All bedrooms have doors opening on to the verandah which runs the entire length of the house, giving amazing air flow and light.

The main house has been divided so that one half can be shut off from the other. The 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchenette are perfect for visitors or an Airbnb situation and has it's own entrance.

Across the breezeway is a guest suite which is currently listed on Airbnb. It is large! The bedroom has a King size bed, enormous bathroom and walk in robe. The kitchen has everything a guest needs and has a comfortable lounge area. Howard is without a motel so the guest suite enjoys good occupancy. All the furnishings come with the guest suite for continuity of bookings and income.

The current owners saw a gap in the caravan market and developed their bush camp in 2019. They cater for an over 50's crowd travelling in their self contained vans or motorhome. It is licensed with the Fraser Coast Regional Council and fully compliant.

The bush camp has 50 powered sites, an area for about 10 unpowered vehicles and provision for 8 cabins. There is little maintenance, no cleaning and with a great facebook page and online booking system, this business offers a good income without a lot of effort. If you enjoy a chat, there is ample opportunity to get involved around the central fire pit. The sites are far enough from the house that guests will not bother you.

The 50's inspired Diner, with black and white tiled floor, also offers great socialising advantages and is currently used for pizza nights, card games, shed tours and BBQ's with a very cool pink Cadillac BBQ. With seating inside for 30, the potential is there for a commercial operation.

The Diner leads to an 8 bay shed (all built in 2019) with an apron for another 8 vehicles. An additional 3 bay shed ( built in 2021) will house a full size caravan or motorhome or could be the perfect camp kitchen area, with its dam views.

A 2.8km walking track through the property will ensure you encounter some of the lovely wildlife.

All of this is conveniently located 3 kms from a great pub and bakery so you don't even need to worry about cooking. The pub offers plenty of food options and even has a courtesy bus that will collect you.

Features of this property include:

- 5 bedroom home all with built-in robes
- 3 bathrooms, one master and one ensuite + heated towel rails
- 2 full kitchens, 1 kitchenette.
- Diner (unique to the property) including Bonnet BBQ & pizza oven

Garages for 11 vehicles, shed space for another 8.

- 40 powered sites, large unpowered area.

- Solar - 30kw
- 3 x large dams
- 4 rainwater tanks, 1 x 260,000lt & 3 x 6,000lt

This property has been setup as the ultimate semi-retirement lifestyle. The current owners have had 25 years in the tourism industry and it is now time for them to join the caravanners that they have been looking after for decades.

Could this be your ultimate working from home, or semi retirement property?
