Tucked away along one of the most tightly held stretches of Booloumba Creek, this much loved family holding is the sort of property people talk about for years but almost never see come to market.
For more than twenty years the same family has swum in the clear creek pools, watched the mist rise over the park like lawns and welcomed friends and guests to a place that feels a world away yet is still within easy reach of Maleny, Kenilworth and the wider Sunshine Coast.
Set on approximately 1.95 hectares* (4.8 acres*)of manicured lawns, established shade trees and open usable land, the property enjoys around 300 metres of direct creek frontage. Here the water runs clear over pebbles and rock shelves, with private swimming and paddling spots that feel like your own hidden camping area without ever leaving home. Booloumba Creek and the surrounding Conondale National Park are known for crystal clear waterholes, waterfalls, rainforest walks and four wheel drive access, which has made the area a favourite for campers, hikers and nature lovers for many years.
The residential infrastructure is both simple and incredibly versatile. A practical three bedroom one bathroom main home sits slightly elevated, looking out over lawns to the water and the trees beyond. It is comfortable, honest and ready to live in as is, with plenty of scope to refresh or reimagine in time to suit your own taste.
Closer to the pool is a separate two bedroom one bathroom granny flat, ideal for extended family, independent teens, visiting friends, a caretaker or a genuine income stream through farmstay, holiday letting or longer term rental. With the creek as a backdrop and the resort style pool only a few steps away, it is hard to imagine a more appealing setting for guests.
There is also a separate caravan port with an ensuited van included in the sale, creating yet another self contained space for guests, extended family, overflow accommodation or a highly rentable (STCA) extra for those considering short stay income.
The pool itself is a real showpiece. Award winning in design and finish, it feels more like a boutique retreat than a backyard pool, with generous lounging areas and a strong connection to the landscape. Late summer afternoons around the pool, with the creek glinting through the trees and the last light hitting the hills, are what this property is all about.
For those who need storage and working space, the shedding will not disappoint. There is impressive high clearance shedding for boats, vans, floats and machinery, plus workshop space for projects and storage. Combined with the open paddocks, it makes the property genuinely practical for horses, hobby farming or the toys and tools that come with an active outdoor lifestyle.
Across the creek you have direct access to state forest and the wider Conondale National Park. That opens up a playground of riding, hiking and exploring, without needing to put the horses on a float or the bikes on the back of the car.
From a value add point of view, there is real upside here for those who can see it. Subject to council approval, the combination of creek frontage, resort style pool, dual accommodation and usable land creates obvious potential for:
• A boutique eco or wellness retreat with cabin style accommodation
• Farmstay or holiday letting focused on swimming, hiking and horse riding
• Multi generational living where everyone has their own space yet shares the lifestyle
• A base for horse enthusiasts, with direct access to trails, room for an arena and quality infrastructure
• A work from home or creative base that still offers real privacy and connection to nature
All of this comes wrapped in a setting that already feels established and grounded. The lawns are mature, the shade trees are in the right places, the creek bank feels settled and inviting and the improvements are positioned to make the most of the land rather than fight against it.
Allister Millican and the team from Ray White Maleny are proud to represent the sale of this very special Booloumba Creek holding. We recognise that properties of this calibre are rarely offered and we look forward to welcoming you to experience the creek, the pool and the grounds in person, whether at an advertised open home or by private appointment.
In a market where true creekfront opportunities are incredibly scarce, and where most buyers must compromise on either water, infrastructure or usable land, this holding stands apart. Loved and carefully held by one family for two decades, it now offers the next custodians a genuine once in a lifetime chance to secure their own piece of Booloumba Creek and shape the next chapter here.
Inspect and you will quickly understand why properties in this part of the world are so tightly held, and why this one, in particular, is so very special.
