This superb property, known as Blue Bell, with its sweeping views, is located just 35 minutes from the historic town of Gympie and 20 minutes from Amamoor. Amamoor Creek Road is one of the most scenic roads through stunning farmlands and forests, with breathtaking sweeping views of the hills. The house has absolutely spectacular expansive 360 degree views from the large full-length deck that overhangs the peak where the house stands.
This house is unique. It was built in 1997 out of non-combustible, termite resistant HardiPlank on steel posts. It is a 4 bedroom home with an ensuite and WIR. Two of the other 3 bedrooms are large enough for double beds and have BIRs. Economically minded and ecofriendly people would be excited to know that it is totally off the electricity grid, with its own solar power with diesel generator backup, solar hot water system and massive rainwater tanks. The fridge and stove are gas, provided by the bottles outside. On those cooler nights, one can sit back and relax in front of the pot-belly wood fireplace, located in the centre of the lounge and dining area. The double lock-up garage, separate to the house, can be used for storage.
The total land area is about 300 acres, taking in the whole land surface of the property. In between the hills are open valleys with good alluvial soils and excellent pastures. There are 3 permanent spring-fed dams and a few hundred metres of Amamoor Creek frontage. Never in the history of the property has water been a problem.
In addition to the sweeping views of the Amamoor State Forest and forest reserve, only a few kilometres away is where the largest outdoor festival in Australia happens. The Gympie Country Music Muster takes place annually in the Amamoor Forest in August and attracts people from around the country. The view of the forest is marvellously unique. It includes hoop and bunya pine plantations, white and red majestic cedars. The area supports an eclectic bird and wildlife habitat.
The land currently supports 50 head of cattle and several horses all year round. The cattle yards and lock-up shed near the front gate are conveniently placed for stock truck transportation. The boundary fences are 5-strand barb and are in good condition.
The neighbours are a blend of farmers, professional and business people. The Blue Bell property, with its scenic views, is ideally suited for full-time or weekend living. The land and its ecologically attractive lifestyle will be a dream come true.
