A rural idyll with remarkable potential and sublime outlooks, this extensive property is hot on the market. Superbly secluded, yet only moments to beautiful Coolum Esplanade with boutiques, eateries and surf galore, you truly can have the best of both worlds.

Comprising 7.51ha of lush bush and tropical grounds including a macadamia plantation and a stand of banana trees, with stables, oversized storage shed, covered round yard, sand arena and ample paddock space, this family-sized country property is being sold on behalf of renowned horse ‘whisperer’ and trainer Brian McMahon. It offers unique opportunities for horse agistment or management of an equestrian school in tranquil natural surrounds right in the heart of the Sunshine Coast.

A long drive winds through bamboo groves and bush to the circular driveway in front of the house, ideally situated for horse floats and strikingly featuring the landscaping. The nostalgic, plantation style home features warm timber finishes, a large kitchen, three bedrooms, a ‘ranch’ dining area, study, sitting room and wraparound verandah on the first floor. Downstairs offers an expansive, fully-enclosed open-plan space which was previously used as a gymnasium, as well as a functional laundry and the master bedroom with ensuite. With some tender loving care, this property overlooking beautiful leafy grounds and dams could become a true showcase asset.

Although perfectly positioned mere minutes from the bustling central-northern Sunshine Coast business, beach and entertainment precinct, this retreat feels as if a million miles away. A one-off property which has the amply proportioned grounds of years gone by, this home will allow one lucky owner to truly be master (or mistress) of their own domain.
