Kak-man-do is not only a wonderful rural retreat but comes with the added bonus of a rental income or second, fully self-contained residence for your elderly parents or relatives looking to combine living arrangements.
Conveniently located half way between Esk and Toogoolawah, 15 mins to the skiing and fishing recreational facilities at Somerset Dam and just over an hour to Brisbane.
Driving into this well maintained rural property, you get a sense of the possibilities this land provides. Not one, but two homes are located on 179 acres of diverse country. Fully fenced with internal fencing and gates separating the two dwellings. This property is on two titles with the ability for a boundary realignment (subject to Council approval), meaning you could sell the smaller house on 6 or 7 acres at the base of the property as another option. There is a very good tenant renting this cottage at present.
The first home is a lovely timber post war cottage, 3 bedrooms, separate bathroom and toilet, separate kitchen with meals and living combined. A spacious balcony offering a delightful rural outlook. This home is set well back from the main road with privacy, peace and quiet. Equipped with 5000 gallons of rainwater storage plumbed into the house, gas hot water and cooking, access to the 600 gallons/hour bore on the property and 2 good size dams, water is not a problem here. There is also a 1.5kw solar set up on the roof which feeds into the grid via the main house.
Meandering past the first home up the hill via a very well maintained sedan friendly driveway, gives you a sense of excitement as to what lies ahead. At the top of the drive sits a solid, sprawling, hardwood timber home with the most amazing 360 degree views of the Brisbane Valley in all its stunning glory. This view simply takes your breath away!
Trying to take your eyes off the scenery whilst driving onto the all-weather gravel entrance leading to a generous double carport is certainly a challenge here.
This home was built to last! Approximately 30 tonnes of quality hardwood has been professionally crafted to produce a wonderfully functional family home. With 5 bedrooms, 2 large doubles, 3 king size, and 1 super-size home office, space is certainly not a concern. Open plan living, dining and a very spacious kitchen with a breakfast bar to comfortably sit 12, there are plenty of spaces here to sit, relax and enjoy the view. Boasting a spacious bathroom, separate toilet, laundry and a large rumpus room at the end of the house with a second shower and toilet.
Every room in this house has large windows or sliding glass doors to take in the jaw dropping scenery.
Chill out and enjoy your surroundings in the 12 x 6 m above ground pool, have a BBQ and a beer while relaxing on the 3m wide, fully covered wrap around veranda.
With cathedral ceilings, ceiling fans throughout and an ever present breeze this home is cool in summer. A good size wood fired heater keeps things cosy in the winter months.
This rural retreat is so awesome, youll never want to leave with many possible business opportunities; horse riding venture, motorbikes, cabins, bed and breakfast, wedding reception, restaurant, art gallery, cafe etc
Water is no problem with 22,500 gallons of rainwater storage to the house, with the backup of the bore which is good, drinkable water. Gas hot water and gas to the kitchen ensures efficiency and reliability. Plus this home has the NBN hooked up! You might be away from it all but youll always be connected.
Owners are selling up and heading overseas so they need to sell quickly. This property is excellent value and has to be seen to be believed.
