Overview
Set within a tranquil rainforest backdrop, this expansive 2.5-acre estate offers an appealing blend of privacy and functional living spaces surrounded by native flora and landscaped grounds engineered for excellent drainage. The extensive land features include a private driveway providing easy access alongside low-maintenance lawns and a variety of native fruit trees, enhancing the property's self-sufficiency and natural charm.
The highlight is a large Colorbond shed approximately 10m by 20m, thoughtfully renovated to serve as a comfortable weekender retreat. This versatile space boasts two bedrooms, robust epoxy flooring for durability, cooling ceiling fans to maintain comfort, and ample windows that connect interior areas with the lush surroundings. The open-plan living and dining area incorporates a stainless steel kitchen with an island bench, creating a practical hub for hosting gatherings and encouraging indoor-outdoor flow.
Complementing the indoor comfort, the outdoor living areas include a secure undercover patio with views over the verdant grounds and a covered side patio that leads to a distinct indoor-outdoor shower and flushing toilet, offering a unique rainforest experience. Additional practical features like a recently upgraded septic system and a laundry with industrial-grade appliances—including a gas dryer and an extra shower and toilet—add convenience and functionality.
