196 Lake Macdonald Drive Lake Macdonald QLD 4563

Set across a beautifully cleared and productive parcel of land, this exceptional rural holding offers a rare blend of lifestyle, legacy, and investment potential. Formerly home to Murphy & Nowland Wholesale Nursery, which operated successfully for over 40 years before closing in 2024 following the owners' retirement, the property now presents an exciting blank canvas for discerning buyers seeking space, versatility, and long-term value in a tightly held hinterland location.

While much of the original nursery infrastructure has been removed, a fully operational propagation facility remains, complete with cutting and potting benches, hotbeds, a misting tunnel, and an expansive shaded growing area with grow-out tables. This infrastructure lends itself seamlessly to leasing to a commercial grower, owner-operation as an income stream, or continuation as a premium horticultural pursuit.

Further enhancing the property's commercial appeal are three large shade houses positioned elsewhere on the land. These structures offer the opportunity for additional income generation or may be sold for removal, with strong market demand currently in place.

Water security is a standout feature, providing confidence for both lifestyle and commercial use. The property is supported by a large deep irrigation dam, a creek that runs for most of the year, and a reliable town water connection - an increasingly rare and highly valuable combination.

The original residence, built in the late 1980s, reflects its era and has seen better days; however, with vision and care, it offers the opportunity to be transformed into something truly special once again. Whether renovated and enjoyed or leased while future plans take shape, it provides flexibility for a range of buyers. A small office building remains on site and offers excellent scope for conversion into guest accommodation or a private studio.

Multiple elevated and cleared building sites present the ideal setting to create a bespoke dream residence, capturing the very essence of refined hinterland living.
Ideally located just five minutes from the heart of Cooroy and under 30 minutes from Noosa's iconic main beach, the property delivers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. With potential to subdivide into two lots (subject to council approval), this is a compelling opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors, or those seeking a premium rural lifestyle with genuine future upside.

• Subdivision potential into two lots (STCA)
• Multiple elevated and cleared building sites suitable for a future dream home
