Trevor Grady from Tom Grady Real Estate is privileged to be offering this property for sale. Endorsing the opportunity for creative innovation ideally positioned for tourist exposure.
Nestled in the Kin Kin Valley, just a short walk to the village is a unique art garden that testifies to the ideal of new beginnings, spirit of the East.
Artist, Steve Weis came to No 9 Gympie-Kin Kin Road 25 years ago looking for a soulful space to re-invent himself and to make the art he was born to create. The big attraction was the unique combination of council zoning as rural with light industrial approval. This has allowed him to immerse himself in his industrial steel sculpture and heavy blacksmithing practice. The dwelling is in close proximity to the huge shed that was originally part of the Expo 88 Australian Pavilion and built to last. This workshop currently accommodates furnaces and hammers, etc. Steve’s art adorns the district and compliments a long tradition of quirky steel letterboxes that have been a feature of the region with its many tourists drives and walking trails. While the majority of Steve’s work has been large public and private commissions, the location lends itself to taking advantage of both road and Noosa Trail traffic.

Adjacent to Kin Kin Bridge No 2, the property immediately engages the passing traffic with its extensive plantings of indigenous trees along the roadside and creek bank and its spectacular and colourful syntropic gardens based on organic regenerative practices. Over the decades this humble beginning has grown into an iconic art-lovers destination featuring around 50 original sculptures many of which demonstrate harmonic-resonance interactive experiences based on healing frequencies and therapeutic traditions. Steve’s guided tour has entertained many thousands of international tourists for more than two decades, sharing the insights of mythic symbolism and sound healing. Steve is completely agreeable to making his guided tour available in audio or video form to any buyer willing to become custodian to the collection.
The shed has been upgraded with the addition of a split block, self-contained single bed apartment with large music studio/room on the ground floor and extensive lecture/exercise/celebration space upstairs, the venue of many holistic and spiritual growth workshops, weddings and music events.

The ground floor incorporates a spacious and lockable garden storeroom housing all the maintenance equipment and materials as well as the solar inverter and emergency generator. What makes this offer completely unique is that it presents, as optional extras: all the tools, machinery and infrastructure for a creative buyer to continue the work and add to the magic of the place.

A comfortable 3 bed home with patio dining on the north enjoying the daylight and gallery dining on the south by the wood fired barbecue provide a relaxed outdoor entertaining lifestyle.
The house is an explosion of creative expression. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully transformed with quality cabinetry, appliances and finishes. An added feature is the glass-encased office on the southern side of the house which has served as headquarters of German Australian Travel for the past ten years demonstrating its excellent potential for home-based business in a tropical garden atmosphere. The property enjoys abundant water with a 2″ suction pump on Kin Kin Creek for garden irrigation, a large rainwater tank for extra if the creek were to be low and excellent drinking water from a potable bore feeding through settling tanks and a four stage filtration system providing the house and apartment with truly fresh clear delicious water throughout.
