Thrive Property is excited to bring this magnificent 10-acre (4Ha) property to the market. With dual dwellings and located in the Parisian dress circle of acreage on the Sunshine Coast, this property has plenty to offer. Located approximately 15 minutes from surf beaches, the Sunshine Plaza and the airport, the property offers a quiet rural ambience with an elevated northerly aspect across Paynter Creek and Rosemount. Local state and private schools are served by bus pickups in Diddillibah Road and the Woombye train station to Brisbane is just 5 minutes away.
The land includes both remnant native vegetation and fenced pastures. The property is registered under the voluntary Land for Wildlife program, in recognition of the extensive biodiversity present with over 100 species of native plants and 65 species of birds being recorded.
Extensive bitumen driveways wander through remnant forest to two residences and also provide access to the fenced paddocks, which comprise 4.5 acres, in total. Both dwellings are fully landscaped with private garden areas and a gazebo offering different aspects for entertainment. The paddocks comfortable carry three horses, and include a separate water tank and troughs and stock shed. Paynter Creek is perennial and flows through a cool shaded riparian forest to form the northern boundary of the property.
The property includes a mature orchard with dozens of fruit and nut trees, two secure chicken yards and vegetable/herb gardens, all established to enjoy a sense of living off the land.
4 bedroom double storey residence
The eco-friendly, minimal maintenance, high-set home offers an elevated 180-degree rural vista to the north, designed to capture afternoon breezes without the need for air-conditioners. A 3.1kW solar PV system (expandable to 5kW) designed to maximize efficiency, provides renewable energy, along with the separate solar hot water system. The home is drought proofed with 75,000l of water storage as in-ground concrete tanks. All wastewater is treated through an enviro-cycle treatment plant for irrigation to the extensive orchard. Waste power consumption is reduced by a centrally located switch that de-energises all non-essential power points at night and when leaving the building. The steel framed building is fully insulated (walls and ceilings) to provide year round ambient conditions.
The upper story is accessible at ground level from the extensive bitumen area and adjacent 3-vehicle garage and workshop. The imposing French style double entry door from India provides an interesting visual contrast to the minimalist style interior: 2.7m high ceilings, modern square set plaster walls and ceilings and tiled flooring throughout. The wide doorways throughout are wheelchair friendly.
The roomy living area, lounge and master bedroom all open onto the north-facing deck via large sliding doors offering uninterrupted views across the property and the rural vista. All openings include insect screens.
The modern, spacious kitchen features both Caesar stone and stainless steel bench tops, meals bar, large European (Ilve) electric oven and gas cook top and other practical design features to cater for family living.
The separate lounge and living areas are served by a French double-sided fireplace to provide a comfortable ambience during the cooler winters evenings.
A large walk-in robe and en suite bathroom off the master bedroom opens out into a private courtyard at the rear of the home. A separate study also opens off the main bedroom. A separate powder room for guests completes the upper level.
The lower story offers the potential for a separate living with three spacious bedrooms, one with walk-in robe and en suite bathroom, the others with built-in robes. A separate toilet and bathroom serve these bedrooms and adjacent lounge/living area that includes a small kitchenette. The bedrooms all have wide private openings onto a deck to provide intimate access to the rural ambience.
A substantial storage room at the lower rear of the building offers a convenient place for all those items used occasionally.
2 bedroom cottage
The property is dual occupancy with a separate double storey, steel frame Dutch gable cottage that is accessible from a private driveway. The cottage has a 3m high ceiling, open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area with a polished concrete floor and wood heater. This opens onto a large patio area overlooking beautifully landscaped native gardens and entertainment area. The upper level includes two bedrooms, a bathroom and small lounge/stydy area.
The cottage has a separate 25,000l water tank, environmentally friendly composting toilet system, insulated walls and ceilings and a 3-phase power supply, connected via underground cable to the solar PV system. A 9m long, covered carport/storage area at the rear of the building completes the cottage amenities
