403 Millstream Parade, Millstream QLD 4888

Set on a substantial 1.31 hectare (approx. 3.24 acres) of flat, usable land with picturesque views over Millstream Gorge, this property offers a unique blend of off-grid living and practical development potential. Located just 10 minutes from Ravenshoe, it provides the serenity of rural life combined with convenient access to nearby town amenities.

The existing off-grid container dwelling serves as an ideal weekender or initial residence, thoughtfully designed with a well-equipped kitchen featuring gas cooking and a breakfast bar, flowing into an open-plan living and dining area. Comfort is ensured year-round with a wood-burning fireplace to warm the cooler months and ceiling fans for a refreshing cross breeze in warmer weather. The dwelling comprises a bedroom and ensuite at one end, striking a balance between functionality and comfort.

Power independence is achieved through a comprehensive solar system paired with an impressive 50kWh battery storage, enabling all modern conveniences without reliance on the electricity grid. Town water connectivity is supplemented by a rainwater tank dedicated to drinking water. Surrounding the dwelling, more than 50 fruiting and edible plants, along with chicken coops and a fenced paddock with water access, support a sustainable lifestyle and potentially small scale animal husbandry such as equestrian pursuits.

Importantly, a certified and approved house slab lies closer to the gorge, complete with plumbing and septic systems, and earthworks including terracing have been undertaken to facilitate the construction of a larger 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence. This ready-to-build site presents an excellent starting point for additional landscaping, carport, or shed development, allowing the next owner to tailor the property to their aspirations.

Additional highlights enhancing the property's appeal include a productive vegetable and herb garden, greenhouse area, small seasonal dam, large timber veranda and front porch, alongside a newly built carport with lean-to storage. Access to local schooling convenience is also a feature with a school bus service picking up directly from the front gate.

This property is particularly suited to those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle with strong ties to nature and garden productivity, ideal for hobby farmers, eco-conscious owners, or anyone looking to establish a personalized rural retreat with excellent development potential.
