It is not often one can actually own a large freehold property in south east Queensland virtually surrounded by thousands of hectares of protected forests. Especially when this particular 103.6 hectare property in two freehold titles is such an ideal and affordable weekender (or perhaps even as a retirement residence). Blue Bell at Amamoor Creek is such a property and is available for purchase right now.
Blue Bell is sited in the scenic hills and valleys just forty minutes south west of Gympie, a little under two hours from Brisbane. While this pretty area is unknown and untravelled by many, Blue Bell is only a few kilometres west of where Australia’s largest outdoor festival, the Country Music Muster, is held every August.
The property borders and overlooks large areas of Amamoor State Forest and Forest Reserve. These forests cover over 7,000 hectares and, among many other timber varieties, includes some of the finest hoop pine grown in Queensland. Stunning birdlife is seen everyday with more than 120 bird species existing in the forests.
Over 50% of Blue Bell’s 256 acres is good cleared country with warm rolling hills, open valleys with good scrub soil and improved pastures, including Rhodes and Setaria. The balance is timbered country with a section of rainforest. Blue Bell is ideal to run cattle, horses or both and can be supported in all seasons.
Water here is excellent. There is extensive frontage to Amamoor Creek, offering beautiful spring water from the mountains. The picturesque swimming hole is ideal for summer BBQ’s. The three permanent dams all carried good water in the driest of dry periods. There is also extensive tank water.
While the land is certainly a feature at Blue Bell it is the location of the comfortable north facing 4 bedroom and 2 bathroom home that really makes this property so appealing. The solar powered home was built in 1997 with simplicity and low maintenance firmly in mind. Virtually perched on one of the property’s highest points, the comfortable home offers both absolute privacy and wonderful views over the thousands of acres of Amamoor State Forest from both inside and out. In reality though the full length deck with 50% roof cover is’ Blue Bell big enough to sit 30 or more for lunch or dinner, lovely anytime of year, sunsets and sunrises that just have to be experienced and the light show on clear moonless nights is quite special.
This sale is an extremely necessary one. The owner and his family have enjoyed countless wonderful weekends and holidays at Blue Bell but the decision to sell right now is not one of his choosing. Blue Bell is there for the taking.,p
