2 Newinga Road, Wolvi QLD 4570

Unique properties like this come along once in a lifetime and this "Cape Cod" style home is now for sale for the first time in 42 years. Constructed with hand tools over 9 years (owners lived "off grid" for the first 20) and made from a combination of hardwood, marine ply and other recycled materials from throughout the region, it was a labour of love by the husband, building the home and the artists shed/workshop for his wife......A scaled down country version of a "Taj Mahal" if you like - right in the heart of Wolvi but only half an hour to town! If community and lifestyle are what you value, then this could be the perfect tree-change you've been searching for!

Tucked into the side of the mountain and surrounded by pristine bushland, you'll be protected from the weather and enjoy all the privacy in the world as the home itself is located right back off the road at the end of a long winding driveway. And the land itself?? On this side of Gympie, it is favoured for crops and livestock because of the best soil and rainfall. The owner has NEVER used pesticides of any sort on this property and there's a spring fed waterhole on the front paddock that used to be a water source for the Cobb & Co Coaches back in the day - hence the owners naming the place "Groundwater".

What else we love about this home:
• The central wood burning fireplace heats the entire home and creates an ambience like no other and is the spot to gather and celebrate or just sit back and relax.
• The cathedral ceilings with exposed timber beams gives a spacious feel and a large stained glass window in the roof peak allows natural light to flood the home.
• A country style kitchen with open timber benches, an up-cycled timber display cabinet for overhead storage and a 900mm freestanding gas cooktop & oven.
• The timber "dutch door" is in the perfect spot next to the kitchen - keep the lower half shut and leave the top half open to let fresh air and light in as it opens onto the rear deck where the chopped firewood is stored.
• The main bedroom has timber french doors that open onto a private deck at the end of the full length verandah surrounded by the bush.
• The toilet is on the verandah (a loo with a view!) as well near the main bedroom and the mirror above the sink outside is a popular spot that the native birds love to frequent!
• All bedrooms feature casement stained glass windows that allow you to make the most of the surrounding bushland views and breezes.
• Bathroom has a shower over the tub and features an authentic porcelain podium vanity. The stained glass casement window means you can enjoy a shower letting the outside in!
• The windows and doors throughout the home are from historical structures around Gympie - Parsons House, Monkland House and Wolvi School.
• The large staircase with deck was rescued from the original Wolvi School and made new again by the owner when he added it here.
• Custom designed and built artists studio/workshop to match the house complete with casement windows and upcycled doors.
• Covered verandah off the kitchen has a ramp leading to the yard and is the perfect spot any time of day to sit and relax and watch the visiting birdlife.
• Just around the corner from the Wolvi School, Community Hall, Rural Fire Brigade and surrounding farms that take part in regular "Farm Gate" tours.
• Be part of a friendly and supportive community in Wolvi where there are many special events that bring everyone together.
• Only 45 minutes to Tewantin on the Sunshine Coast via the Pomona Kin Kin connection road that is 100m from the front driveway. Only 26 minutes to Gympie town centre.
