Look no further- this is your new home.
Set in the idyllic Illinbah Valley, this country homestead is set up perfectly for someone who wants a hard wearing home that is beautiful in every way.
Driving through the electric ranch style gates, and up the full concrete drive, you get the sense you are entering a private, country estate. Passing the historic cream hut, that was the original one used by the dairy farmers on this property, you are also passing the site of the old dairy. This part of the property is a great place to sit at the river and survey all that is yours. It is easy access to the swimming holes and spa spots here on a warm summer day. The water runs through the river rocks offering ever fresh water and a natural spa every day.
The home has that simple, clean beauty that allows the setting and the interior touches to shine. Everywhere you turn the fresh air, light and sounds of the river wash through the home to relieve any stress or worry that life may throw at you. Stretching out on the deck, with a golden sunset across the river, could be your new daily routine.
All the rooms in the home are spacious and offer sprawling, country living. The master suite has room for a reading chair, the lounge, dining and kitchen, all interconnected, have room for comfy couches, family-sized dining table and central chopping block, without compromising on space to move around.
The sellers of this property have made every part of it a homage to the setting and to country living. The entertaining deck, resting thoughtfully to the north, catches the winter sun and offers shade during summer, making this the ideal spot to share a meal or drinks with family and friends any time of the year. The firepit just below it is a welcome addition on nights you want to linger longer under the stars.
The home is set up high to catch the best of the moving air through the valley and well above the water line. Connecting the home are concrete pathways, all keeping mess to a minimum when accessing the home from the yard or workshops. The deck swings from the back of garage around the western and northern sides of the home and opens on to both sides promoting untroubled flow.
The workshop and garage are close enough to the house to take advantage of its proximity, but far enough away to keep any noise or mess from the house. The double garage and workshop has an old ensuite in one corner, including a toilet, shower and wash tub. In addition the second shed is a huge barn-style shed, fully insulated, with high roller door plus 2 normal height, but all wider than standard doors, plus, a roller door behind for ventilation when working inside.
It has an independent rolling gantry crane, perfect for lifting weighty items when working on cars, or with heavy materials.
The approx 2.6 acres are a mix of immaculate lawn, fruit and native trees and natural bush. The birds love living here- with wrens, willy wagtails, honey eaters, cockatoos, galahs, finches, currawongs and eagles, it is a bird lovers paradise. It is also a testament to the natural safe-haven the sellers have created here. The raised vegetable beds are close to the home for a quick step out to select fresh herbs or vegetables for the meal. The balance of the property has been allowed to run naturally, but it does have tracks up the slope to access the rest of the property. You could make this part of the property anything you would like- a small orchard or a beautiful bush garden, or even just a natural forest. It is only limited by your imagination.
Come and inspect this beautiful property. It will draw you in and I know you will love it. I look forward to introducing you to 489 Illinbah Rd Illinbah QLD.
