171 Newtons Road, Rosedale QLD 4674

What a beautifully presented 40 acres (16.3ha) with a lovely Queenslander, an in-ground swimming pool, great sheds, orchards and best of all - a boat ramp and jetty on our tidal Baffle Creek. Machinery included in the sale is a tractor & slasher, backhoe, zero turn mower, 400 litre firefighting unit.

Having verandahs overlooking beautiful gardens on 3 sides, the Queenslander has an open plan kitchen, dining & lounge room. The kitchen has gas cooking and heaps of cupboard space. There are 3 bedrooms which open onto the verandahs. One is currently being used as an office. The bathroom has both a bath & shower and is separate from the toilet. Hot water is solar and total rainwater collection is approx. 31,700 gallons (120,000 litres). Mains power is connected and there is a 5.2kw solar system (20 panels) as well which helps keep electricity bill prices down.

Downstairs is set up as a great entertainment area with the 9.5m saltwater swimming pool. Outside the pool fenced area is a basic kitchen with BBQ, sink & fridges, a lovely dining area and a toilet & shower. A small hidden room opens up as a bar just to top it off.

Sheds are great - there is a powered 8 bay shed, a 3 bay machinery shed & carport. The shipping container off one end is useful as extra storage. Behind this is an area covered in shade cloth ideal for growing seedlings, cuttings etc. There are also some raised garden beds for vegetables. For those of you wanting to be semi self-sufficient, there are heaps of fruit trees in the two orchards. Fruit grown includes Mangos, dragon fruit, avocado, macadamia, mulberry, olives, fig, passion fruit, a variety of citrus trees including orange, mandarin, lemon grapefruit, limes, pomello, lemonade, & finger limes.

Around the home is a 3 barb fenced area of about 2 acres. There is boundary fencing but it would need some attention if you wanted to put stock/horses on the property.

Very well set up to make gardening easy, there is a petrol pump on the large dam which pumps water to a header tank to irrigate the orchards and gardens.

To go fishing or mud crabbing, all you need to do is wander (or drive) down to the boat ramp and jetty. This area along the creek has been selectively cleared and would be a great spot for friends to come and camp or stay in their caravans.

Well, there you have it - everything you need presented in one beautiful package. This really is a stunning property and well worth an inspection.
