An incredibly private, hidden sanctuary is being offered for the first time to the market. Only 15mins to Mackay CBD but exclusively accessed by a private road, this paradise of lush tropical rainforest and vineforest is like owning a nature reserve teeming with Australian wildlife, yet living with all the comforts of home.

The current owners have achieved what some only dream about! Taking untouched, tropical, forest acreage and building a comfortable abode while still retaining nature and its treasures in their purest state. “The Reserve” as it is called, occupies 56 acres of natural catchment, that from the air is always lush, even in the dry season. To preserve the ecology of the property, the owners have planned their living quarters to fit with the landscape, rather than against it. Power lines are underground, natural water courses form the dam and the all weather access road allows the creeks to flow freely with 4 concrete causeways.

The 2 acres of cleared land is terraced with a luxury 15m x 7m x 4.5m liveable shed and a beautiful spot allocated for the future main home. Your water needs are well catered for with a huge 130 000 litre tank fitted with a water filter and bore ready to go. Gas hot water ensures all your city guests looking for a weekend retreat will enjoy a hot shower as well as a flushing toilet. The shed is insulated, has separate rooms, fully powered and is air conditioned, although hardly used, as it is fully screened and open or completely lockable with roller doors. It even has satellite phone and broadband with calls costing 15c to any land line in Australia.

This very special property has to be experienced to hear the sounds of the birds, the coolness of the forest and the meditative qualities of silence. For your private inspection phone Kerrie Young now on 0413071119. By appointment only.
