ARE YOU A SYDNEY-SIDER OR RETIREE LOOKING FOR A TREE CHANGE OR SEA CHANGE? This location is perfect, GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!!
For many retirees, work no longer occupies their time, theres no need to continue to tolerate the hustle and bustle of city life. The kids have long gone, the home is now way too big and the pace of life needs to slow way down. The Gold Coast and The Sunshine Coast are both popular destinations but we encourage you to look a little further north to the Wide Bay region (google).Childers, is a quaint little heritage town just around 2 hours north of The Sunshine Coast.
On a Broader scale, Childers is strategically located equidistant (almost) from Cooktown (1690km to the north) to Eden (1650km to the south). Making it an ideal spot for those who intend to do plenty of touring around the countryside, but prefer to maintain a home base to return to right in the middle of our east coast playground; great to set off on an adventure, but equally great to come home to.
For those who reside in Sydney, its worth considering that real estate prices there have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. It may continue on into the future, or the bubble may burst at any time. At the opposite end of the spectrum, prices in most rural areas such as Childers have been deflated for a prolonged period. Indications are it is beginning to cool off, so now would financially be a great time to make the move, i.e Sell at the top and buy at the bottom of the market.
If you are thinking either TREE CHANGE or SEA CHANGE, why not relocate to this property which gives you BOTH, literally on your doorstep! Settle into this beautiful ranch style home with plenty of room to move and either a pocket full of money or a smaller/no mortgage. An excellent base where you can jump in your car, drive to the beach with no traffic jams, find free unlimited parking, walk a few metres and feel the sand between your toes in less than 30 minutes.
The property is very secluded without being isolated. It is very quiet and peaceful, there is abundant wildlife, at the same time, there are so many services and attractions close by.
