It was a dream of the current owners to leave Melbourne (in 1990) with their 3 young children, set up a farm and spice business and create a range of curry pastes. And that’s exactly what they did at this very special home in Cootharaba.
There’s nothing they haven’t enjoyed about living here and the 5.63-hectare property is packed full of happy family memories.
Now it’s your turn to create your own dreams and memories in this character-filled circa-1900 traditional Queenslander. As the current owners retire off the land.
With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a sparkling pool, sheds, dam and more, it’s the perfect place to raise your children and entertain.
Located at the end of a short no-through road, this gorgeous home offers not only history but also quality, style and comfort. With the ideal north-east aspect, the house is light-filled and catches the cross breezes perfectly.
The blend of old and new is just right, with plenty of VJ walls, high ceilings, fretwork, French doors and beautiful polished timber floors.
The open plan living area is bright and white and flows out through bi-fold stacker doors to a massive outdoor entertainment deck. Complementing the traditional features is an ultra-modern Chefs kitchen with granite bench tops, dishwasher, and a mix of stainless steel cupboards and FormWrap Laminex.
The master bedroom is a delight, opening out through French doors to a traditional verandah. The bedroom benefits from a walk-in robe and a stunning ensuite bathroom.
One of the other 3 bedrooms is currently used as an office, opening out to a private covered deck and the lovely in-ground pool. The bedrooms share a stylish main bathroom with a free-standing bath and garden view.
With a slow combustion wood fire heater for cosy winter nights, and ceiling fans and cross-breezes in the summer, you’ll be comfortable all year round here.
When you step outside you’ll really be impressed with this extraordinary property. The gardens are amazing and feature a large water feature.
This property includes an established working orchard and herb garden, with mangoes, bananas, galangal, kaffir limes, turmeric, Tahitian limes, lemongrass, grape vines, chillies and more. There’s also a large packing shed plus a separate, approved commercial kitchen and outside WC.
Plenty of potential there for your dream business or hobby!
The commercial kitchen was once the old Tandur railway signal box so it’s full of history. It’s also been used to make jams, chutneys and sauces, red curry, green curry, Masala, Massaman, Kashmiri, Vindaloo, Tandoori, Laksa and Harissa, all from the produce grown on this property.
If you love to entertain, this would have to be your dream residence! The current owners have hosted Spice Trail Banquets and Noosa International Food Festival events for 120 people here.
Rounding off the entertainment facilities is a fantastic multi-purpose building with a stone wood oven for pizzas, or cooking many things as well as a smoker. Alternatively, it could be used to park vehicles undercover.
As well as the wonderful growing areas there are also many established trees, gently sloping lawns and even your own Stonehenge-like solstice stones.
With native rainforest on the boundary, this property is a haven for birds and wildlife. The owners love to watch the resident kangaroos and wallabies, and the 40 different species of gorgeous native birds!
They also love living in such a natural unspoilt environment, especially the peace and quiet and the expansive night sky with its clear bright stars and Milky Way.
With close proximity to Lake Cootharaba and the pristine Everglades and brilliant supportive neighbours, 44 Hatch Road is truly a remarkable find, so close to Noosa Heads.
