You could be forgiven for thinking you had suddenly arrived in the rolling hills of Scotland when you see Frogmouth Lane darting off the Cooroy-Noosa Rd just minutes outside of Cooroy. Just the name is romantic enough for you to start feeling lyrical. The very private lane (no through road) with the Frogmouth Sanctuary along one side and tree-lined on the other, services only a few neighbours whose homes are discreetly located far away from No 74.
The property is well located being only around 20 minutes to the golden beaches, restaurants and cafes of Noosa Heads and around 5 minutes from the Bruce Highway. You have easy access to anywhere.
The land started its’ life as the Benny French Dairy Farm and could easily be returned to cattle or even horses. Verdant green grass is as far as the eye can see from the verandahs of the house and the view is framed by Cooroy Mountain and Mount Tinbeerwah to name a couple. Water is plentiful, being obtained from the neighbour’s dam (water rights) and Lake Macdonald which spearheads its’ way right in to the 37 acres. 2 huge under water rain tanks provide domestic water requirements.
The entire property is fully fenced externally.
In 2001 the small cottage on the site was enhanced by the arrival of a magnificent Queenslander from its’ original site in Ascot, Brisbane. Meticulously put back together with the addition of new stumps, roof, wool insulation, walk-in robes, electricity and plumbing. Windows were restored and re-installed. Coloured glass in various windows was a custom built addition. Tongue and groove timber walls, large country style kitchen with heaps of storage are joined by reverse cycle airconditioning, solar hot water and remote control web cameras for property surveillance from anywhere in the world. (Simply needs to be re-connected).
The swimming pool is fully fenced with a sun deck.
