After 32 years of calling this quintessential Queenslander “home”, it’s time for its owners to move south to be with family. Formerly a palm nursery and commercial lychee orchard, the owners have been lovingly encouraging the return of sections of the 5.4 acre block to its original rain forest form. If you are craving the serenity and charm of a bygone era, but need to be comfortably close to everything, don’t miss this unique haven.

If you have an affinity for natural beauty, native rainforest and wildlife you will certainly enjoy this property. So close to Palmwoods and civilisation but you could easily believe the world was far, far away.
The home was built in the 1930′s using timbers cut from the block. It was moved from a larger section of adjoining land sometime in the early 1980′s. Whilst some modifications have been done on the home, the owners have tried to keep the look of the home as true as possible to its original style. The land is fairly evenly divided between cleared space, formerly cultivated areas and native rainforest.
The 2 bedroom fully self contained granny flat makes for ideal guest accommodation or housing for the extended family. Alternately rent it out as a source of additional income. For the commuters, the Palmwoods train station is just a 2 minute drive, or access the Bruce Highway approximately 7 minutes from home.
Demand for character homes in the hinterland is high and this one is most definitely one of a kind and worthy of your inspection.
