This property is an incredible package for the Aussie lifestyle enthusiast looking for the ability to live away from the rest of the world, make a few bob off the land whilst enjoying the entertainment provided by a larger acreage allotment – which is surprisingly low maintenance!

Only a 25min drive to West Bundaberg, you’ll enjoy this serene 156+ acre property which is just ideal for a few head of cattle, horses, goats etc. with riparian rights to the Burnett River to keep them well watered. This sort of access to the Burnett just doesn’t come along every day and truly means that, no matter the season, this property lends itself to big days skiing on the river, shooting, fishing, motorbike riding, lazing by the fire or learning to drive the families bush-basher. If the outdoors is where you want to spend your time with loved ones, it simply does not get better than this.

The home itself was relocated from Gayndah to the highest point on the block with astonishing views over the winding Burnett River and beyond to the Mount Perry skyline. The verandahs are wide and covered, allowing you to take it all in with drink in hand by the bar or in a hammock – it’s just so hard to walk away. All of the external charm and character of the lowset early 20th century cottage is complimented seamlessly by the modern inground pool with the awesome elevation meaning you swim while soaking up the views as well! Sounds like the life?! There’s so much more here than can be captured in this short write up.

Entering the house through double sets of glass doors you’ll enjoy the glowing timber floors and open plan feel helped by the high ceilings in the lounge / kitchen with a huge walk-in pantry and the formal dining to one side. Literally every section of plumbing and strand of wire was replaced before being painted and returned to it’s former glory only a decade ago. There are four bedrooms in all plus a sunroom, two modern bathrooms inc. an ensuite and a huge laundry. There is tank water and septic connected and not a neighbour in sight! It’s not a house but a home this one, warm and inviting capturing breezes all year round with a fire to warm as required on the few chillier evenings throughout the year.

The block is a captivating figure too which you’ll note on entry via the eastern boundary – undulation, multiple dams, a number of paddocks with fat cows / healthy horses, all the way down to a monstrous river frontage where a boat is regularly moored to allow a quick fish or ski. It is worth mentioning – in 2013 the property was impacted by the floods. However, as unfortunate as it was for many it did not impact any of the permanent fixtures on the block and for our way of thinking, improved the overall value and usability of the land by clearing the riverbanks, fertilising the soil and providing water security for many years thereafter.

Overlooking the river in more close proximity is an awesome “shack” for the teenager in the family or as an escape from the family for a night with facilities to stay! Half way back up the house is a huge 6x10m shed with wrap around awnings for shelter / feed for the horses and storage for farm implements and the toys. Selectively cleared, the block is super functional and has been a labour of love for many years to get it to the condition it is today with the room still to make it your own / add further shedding until your heart is content!

There is simply too much to mention here and nothing we can write will do justice to the lifestyle so often sought and so seldom found on offer here in Promisedland – neighbouring Pine Creek – near Bundaberg City.
