Located between Cooroy and Gympie, only 1.5 hours north of Brisbane, on the Sunshine Coast, is this picturesque acreage set in the scenic hills of Dagun. The three charming towns of Kandanga, Amamoor and Dagun are only a five minute drive from each other. The weekly Dagun Grower’s Market provides residents with the freshest local produce. The Mary Valley website is full of information about the local towns and highlights upcoming events in this thriving region. These towns and the surrounding farmlands are blessed with quality soils and a respectable regular annual rainfall. The beautiful Noosa beaches are less than a 40-minute drive away.
The farmhouse and land are well set back from the Dagun Road with about a 500-metre well-constructed driveway passing through the front paddock. The house and associated buildings are nestled onto a ridge of high ground, giving views of the scenic hills of Dagun. Passing through the gate near the house, on the right, is an old and very large timber barn that stores the tractor and farm machinery. The barn also houses a workshop. There are two garage structures. One has a carport and a special room attached that could be used as a man cave’. The other garage is adjacent to the house. The main house’s appearance is as neat as a pin and gives you that ultimate old world’ feeling.
If peace and tranquillity are what you are after, this home and its 97 acre plot of land, which is only 300 m from the Dagun Township, can deliver. The house is a typical Queensland cottage, designed with a broad veranda at the front which leads to a quaint comfortable home. The 2 bedrooms are augmented by a large enclosed sleep out, reminiscent of a bygone time. The ceilings throughout are very high, typical of a Queenslander, giving a feeling of spaciousness and airiness. The modernised country kitchen, lounge, and dining room are of comfortable proportions. The main bathroom is supported by a second shower and toilet area.
There are 7 large paddocks. All but one has water for stock, with a flowing stream running through the middle paddock. The fencing and pastures are of high quality and well maintained. The nutritional level of the pasture is evident by the condition of the beef cattle grazing the land. The land can support at least 40 head throughout the year. As the land has a long rectangular shape, the end paddock is about one kilometre from the house by way of a laneway. The adequate stock yards are just behind the barn.
This area supports several industries, including the timber mills, horticulture, fruit growing, horse and cattle breeding. As there is abundant water and excellent soil, there are a variety of other business ventures that the new owners of this property can pursue.
