Here’s your chance to secure a rare island property on a single title, with instant street appeal and verdant established gardens surrounding this Dutch barn-style, double-storey home. Feel the privacy offered by the giant golden-cane palms and tropical tree canopy as you enter this versatile abode. Currently fenced to create two separate residences, each with a private yard, productive exotic fruit trees & vegetable patch, timber decks, outdoor shower, parking, electricity meter and water tanks. Plus, there’s a solar hot water system servicing both, to curb utility costs. Whisper-quiet, this setting is like a piece of England, nestled off Brisbane. A true self-sufficient ‘farmlet’, you could easily convert to a large family home or keep the existing footprint and benefit from dual-living B&B income, or accommodate the extended family.

There’s even a winch to bring the shopping up, or convert it to a 1-person lift, for which it was engineered. Although a little tired after a lot of living, this 20-year-old barn just needs a water-blast and a lick of paint to restore her vibrancy. While a green corridor view to Lamb Island, vacant blocks behind (perhaps acquire them to increase your acreage) and few neighbours, give a sense of wide open space to this abundant property. The outdoors promotes organic permaculture living, with raised garden beds, water tanks, workshop, chicken coop and a North-East aspect for shade and bay breezes to soothe the midday sun. Harvest the fruit from your orchard of nectarine, guava, mango, lemon, lime, lychee, fig, banana and papaya trees. Pluck a passionfruit or two and gather flowers for the table. It’s all here for the taking. Get your hands dirty and your feet grounded while growing your own food on this prime, island eco-land-holding.
