Soul Haven, as the name suggests, is just that, your “haven” from the outside world. A “one of a kind” property comprising 2 residences on a fertile, red soil, 3 acre (1.293 ha) oasis, set amidst the ever changing tapestry of farmland, that is the picturesque area of the South Burnett, known as Cushnie. No chance of being built out here! The main residence is the original 1950′s family home, a solidly built, very unique “H” shaped home, now beautifully renovated, with no expense spared, by the current owners, one of which is a licenced builder. The second residence is a fully self-contained, 1 bedroom cabin. This is your chance to enjoy the rural lifestyle without the hassle and expense of maintaining more land then you need. This property offers privacy and peace and quiet with beautiful views across the surrounding farmland and the potential of earning an extra income from the second residence or it has enough rooms to turn into a B and B. All the work is done here, it’s completely set up and ready to move in to, with plenty of room for the entire family to kick back and relax. If you want your own little piece of paradise, away from the rat race, then Soul Haven is for you.
