I challenge anyone not to relax here. This rare lifestyle environment is a premium opportunity for eco-restorers and tree-changers to secure a nature haven full of wildlife. This is living right in nature.

The cedar clad home is a blank canvas offering great potential for a premium full renovation.
Vaulted and hardwood beamed ceilings feature through the main lounge and kitchen/living zone and there is a matching vaulted double bricked carport with potential for extension if you're not interested in a great garage.
The interior is ready to be stripped back, re-wired and plumbed. While not all the flooring is intact there is hardwood flooring throughout. Externally the roof requires replacing.

There are views from every window into the bush surrounds, and tree canopy views should you wish to build up. Adding to the appeal, is the flat area around the home, which slopes very gently at the rear, and the two small creeks that run through the property. The rear of the home is crying out for an amazing deck. Beyond the cleared area around the house is pristine bush.

The land:
The property is at the end of the road with a long driveway. So quite private and in a valley full of tree ferns. It is bordered, on one side of the home, with a drop to a small stream (platypus apparently). There is another very small creek that runs through the middle of the property on the other side of the flat house area. The parcel of land that the house sits on is like an island between the two small creeks. Apparently there has been gold-mining in the creeks in the past. The rear of the property borders onto public land. Its five minutes to the local shops by car and ten to fifteen minutes to Emerald.

This property is a prime example of what the area has to offer. It has been held for over 30 years, and its sale, in this tightly held area, is an opportunity not to be missed.

Only considering ready buyers. Viewing by appointment only.
