Situated only minutes from Cooroy, Platypus Bend is a magical 35-acre property with expansive flat lawns, sub-tropical gardens and private woodland forest. It’s an ideal property for horse-lovers with flat, sun-drenched paddocks and an enormous shed that could easily convert to stables. The property’s private riding tracks connect directly to the Noosa Trail Network, leading through fragrant eucalyptus forests to Lake MacDonald and spectacular mountain lookouts.
There are many suitable house sites, giving you complete peace and privacy. Currently there is a huge shed, one end has been converted into a charming 2-bedroom cottage and the other is used as a workshop.
The gardens contain exotic palms, black bamboo, tropical flowering trees and several varieties of banana, including Java Blue and Lady Fingers. To keep the gardens looking lush, the property has abundant bore water.
Positioned between two State Forests, Platypus Bend is a wildlife sanctuary. The current owners have recorded over 60 bird species, including King Parrots, Regent Bowerbirds, and flocks of Red-Browed Finches. Along the property’s Six Mile Creek frontage, you’ll spot Mary River Cod, Lung Fish and the Platypus.
This is a truly unique property. A must see for those wanting a large level piece of land (approx. 18 acres cleared) with absolute privacy, located only minutes from Lake MacDonald and Cooroy. A sustainability declaration is available by contacting the agent. C261
