A unique, one-of-a-kind craftsman-built home, majestically positioned on a flood-free, 1.98Ha / 5 acres (approx.) – but youd swear it must be 20 acres, with stunning rural views stretching into the surrounding neighbouring acreage properties, and plenty of space and absolute privacy between homes!
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful properties in the area, amongst idyllic, picturesque and supremely peaceful bush surroundings, yet just 3 minutes from friendly The Caves village.
Accessed via sealed roads, the home stands proud, circled by immaculate gardens, lush expanses of lawn and shady trees dotting through the middle – with a superb concreted entertaining deck suspended over a beautiful seasonal creek, filling with the rainfall and running through the property.
Built to stand the test of time, and with a cyclone 5 rating – which was thoroughly tested in an 8 hour showdown with the category 5 Cyclone Marcia in 2015, leaving absolutely no damage in its wake!
Using a rare mix of eco-friendly design and some of earths finest materials; extensive solid timber beams, soaring raked ceilings and unique fixtures – its character is matched by its function, providing a combination of rustic, farmhouse charm with a timeless finish.
Utterly unique, beautifully maintained and filled with character and charm throughout – presenting a wonderful melding of comfortable, classic decor and quality inclusions, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and large expanses of windows take maximum advantage of the natural light, inviting the outdoors in, and showcasing sensational, lush green views through each one.
Connected to town water, fully air-conditioned throughout, plus an efficient combustion wood heater heating the entire home with ease – and a BRAND NEW, high quality 5kW / 18 Panel Solar System (installed January 2018) cutting your carbon consumption dramatically!
Just minutes from the world-renowned limestone caves, and The Caves village, with a very well-stocked convenience store, hotel, primary school, pony club, community hall and showgrounds – facilitating annual dog trials, rodeo and show; and school bus services running to local primary school and both primary and secondary schools in Rockhampton, just 15 minutes away. Monday to Friday mail delivery and weekly rubbish removal.
