222.5m of sub-tropical forested Baffle Creek freshwater frontage. At the front is a low maintenance 3 bedroom home plus office on this 16.21 ha (40.05 acre) holding.
Built in 1987 the house is set on concrete slab with steel frame and clad in Hardi-plank. It has had several extensions taking it now to a unique layout of 130m2 of internal living space. At the front is a timber pergola with large concrete pavers and shade cloth adding coolness to the main entrance. At the rear is a covered wrap around deck which is a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the views overlooking the property. These two areas provide 86m2 of outdoor living space.
The home has low maintenance tiled floors throughout except the TV room which is carpeted and air-conditioned. High ceilings help keep things pleasantly cool. There are two steps leading up to the main bedroom and bathroom area. 250 L Rheem hot water system ensures ample hot water for the family and friends. Two built-in double door linen cupboards offer welcomed storage space. The kitchen, central to the layout of the home, has laminate and timber cupboards, Chef electric stove, large breakfast bar and walk-in pantry to free up extra cupboard space. At the front of the house there is another room which would be suitable for a children’s play area, massage room or even small guest room. There is also an office which is great for the small business owner or even the kids homework. The laundry offers plenty of room for all the essentials with a door leading out to the rear verandah.
A 9m x 6m (54m2) shed, adjacent to the home, has tilt door offering convenient undercover parking and plenty of space for storage. Rain water storage is well amply catered for with a 5000 gallon Poly tank catching the precious fluid from the shed. Two other tanks of the same capacity, one being concrete and the other poly, catch rain water from the house roof giving a combined total of 15,000 gallons of drinking water.
The yard is well cleared and beautifully grassed, has a brick wood fire BBQ ideal for family or social gatherings. There is a 3 x 2m lawn locker plus other enclosures suitable for chooks or small animals. In the house yard are Mango trees, a grape vine, Fig, Conifers, Golden Cane Palms and Neem trees. A bore with an electric pump keeps everything green and fresh in those dry times.
Some sub-tropical patches of rainforest and Cabbage Palms are intermingled with seasonal water ways, one of which has an old recycled railway bridge spanning it. There are some pockets of re-growth interspersed with couch. Two dams to take care of any livestock you wish to run as the boundaries are fully fenced.
