16 Balkin Road, Eumundi QLD 4562

Offered to the market for the first time, this well-constructed, well-maintained ranch-style home on almost 2½ picture-perfect acres presents loads of possibilities for families, aspiring market gardeners and hobby farmers. With a creek on its rear boundary, lush grass and fertile soil, a dam and established gardens, this property, in a popular part of Eumundi, effortlessly combines rural lifestyle with township convenience.

With full-length, lined verandahs front and back providing all-season outdoor living, and large windows that allow plenty of light in and outlooks over the landscape, this long-held home and property will delight. Appealing from the street, the front's northerly aspect captures the sun's warmth during winter and the back of the house welcomes cooling breezes in summer.

Just a few minutes in the car to Eumundi's primary school, retail, services and artisan markets, this is a great spot to bring up a family. Grow your own veggies and get a pony or two for the kids, start that small cottage industry business you've been dreaming of and enjoy the serenity and community feel of this much-loved hinterland location.

The residence features both formal and family living areas, built-in bedrooms including a very large main bedroom with a generous walk-in robe, a modern kitchen with lots of storage, and a family-sized bathroom with a deep bath from which you can look out to the garden.

Built to a very high standard, this 36-year-old home boasts a log-burning fireplace between the spacious lounge and its adjoining dining area, archways, timber internal doors and architectural mouldings, easy care cork floors in thoroughfares and timber-edged kitchen cabinetry.

With electric cooking appliances, both a microwave shelf and a coffee-making nook, a large double-door pantry and overhead cupboards with a bulkhead above, this kitchen is neat and functional and enjoys beautiful views.

Oversized, and with additional height clearance, the double garage grants plenty of space for 4WDs, bicycles, workshop benches and storage racks. There are several new inclusions, namely a new external entry door to the garage, new deadlocks fitted, a 10,000-gallon rainwater tank and a new septic system.
