44 Hatch Road Cootharaba QLD 4565

With approximately 14 captivating, resort-like acres and an abundance of inclusions, the opportunities to craft your dream business or lifestyle on this unique property are only limited by your imagination. For the business-minded, features like the licensed commercial kitchen, smoker, and multi-purpose building with stone wood oven make it ideal for chefs, foodies making handcrafted wares to sell at markets, or renting the space to community groups. The facilities could also be used to host functions such as weddings and parties, or to start a restaurant in stunning natural surroundings (STCA).

For those with lifestyle top of mind, this enchanting place lends itself equally well to simply enjoying the peace and privacy of your own plant and wildlife sanctuary. The home - a character-filled circa-1900 Queenslander transported from Maryborough - presents a beautiful balance of old and new. Traditional features like high ceilings, Kauri pine floors, VJ walls, fretwork, french doors and combustion fireplace (and a separate gas bayonet connection), are complemented by modern touches like crisp white paintwork and louvre windows that capture the cross breezes.

Designed for entertaining, the open plan living space (added onto the home in 2012) exudes a relaxed but stylish ambience. The contemporary kitchen is a host's dream, boasting granite bench tops, 900mm freestanding gas cooking, dishwasher, and a mix of stainless-steel cupboards and FormWrap Laminex. Bifold doors open onto the spacious, elevated deck. Flowing around most of the home, this is the perfect spot to unwind with a cool drink and absorb the fresh air, gorgeous garden outlook and visits from native birds and wildlife.

The master bedroom features a walk-through robe, modern ensuite and direct access onto the deck, and the elegant main bathroom has a centerpiece deep freestanding tub for the ultimate relaxing soak. Just some of the additional features include built-in bookshelves, a sparkling in-ground pool, 15m x 7m powered shed, 6.5kw solar, and solar hot water.

Completing the picture are breathtaking grounds, with approximately 5 of the 14 acres planted out using permaculture principles, free from chemicals or pesticides. Along with delightful gardens, native trees and lush lawns, there's an established working orchard and herb garden, with mangoes, bananas, galangal, kaffir limes, turmeric, Tahitian limes, lemongrass, grape vines, chillies and more. Water should be plentiful with 41,000 litres of rainwater storage, potable bore, plus a huge dam.

Set on a quiet no-through-road, this exceptional property is close to picturesque Lake Cootharaba and the pristine Everglades, and just a 17-minute drive from Tewantin with its schools, supermarkets, cafes and marina.

If you've been fantasizing about building a home-based business, sustainable lifestyle, or shifting to a tranquil natural haven with modern comforts, be very quick to secure your inspection of this exquisite property.
