3 bedroom home just 5 minutes drive from Agnes Water shops and beach. The 1950s style home professionally was relocated in one piece from Tewantin three years ago. It has been lowest on steel posts, re-roofed, cyclone proofed and rewired to meet council approval. Gutter guard has recently been installed.
The home is set in the middle of a mown selectively cleared 3.5 acre block with mature native cabbage palms that would be nearing 200 years of age. It is dog-proof fenced into two paddocks and has underground power. A large dam surrounded by tropical palms gives the property a calming aspect from both the road and the home. The gardens are low maintenance with lilies and other hardy florals.
It is always peaceful and quiet in this part of town as they are no through roads. Toms creek, 500m down the road, is shrouded in mangroves and there are excellent walking tracks with a boat ramp capable of launching small craft. There is generally a refreshing breeze at the property most days. Always present is the sound of singing birds, ducks visit as do wallabies.

A firefighter is on the dam and this pumps to a 1000 gallon elevated header tank for gardens. The western boundary has a seasonal creek. The home has a Nature Loo so this saves on water useage.
