Historic Hinterland Sanctuary
Situated close by Duke Road, one of the most desirable streets in Doonan, this large 5763m2 property is home to one of the first buildings in the area. This rare and well-preserved Queenslander workers cottage is where the manager of the Duke family dairy farm resided approximately 80 years ago. Steeped in history and lovely cared for and maintained by the current owners, it has a perfect balance of old-world charm, with its high feature ceilings and intricate fret-work, yet still feels contemporary and stylish. Enjoy the well-maintained established gardens and pool area, complete with 100 plus year-old native fig tree, mango tree and expansive shaded lawn areas. Perfect for large family gatherings or just simply relaxing with the kids. You’ll feel a million miles away, yet Noosa Heads main beach is just a 19-minute drive away. With great schools, Noosa Civic shopping centre, Belmondo’s Organic Market, several local breweries and distilleries, Flying West coffee roasters and so much more all ten minutes or less away, everything is at your fingertips.
The east north facing main living area has a well-appointed kitchen that naturally flows out to the light filled alfresco dining area, where you can enjoy eating outdoors virtually year-round. Or enjoy the comfort of eating indoors, next to the original antique pot belly stove. This area neighbours another large living area, that leads out to an indoor/outdoor sitting area and back inside to the sizable home office/guest bedroom.
The master bedroom with ornate ceilings comes with built ins and en-suite bathroom. This wing of the home also features two more bedrooms one with built ins, the family bathroom with bathtub is also close by. The laundry is cleverly positioned outdoors, yet still undercover, so the heat doesn’t come into the main home.
There is another north facing oversized patio area attached to the main house, perfect for entertaining. There’s plenty of options for dining outdoors, no matter what the weather is doing.
Buts there’s more, if you like cars or boats enjoy the large three bay shed and double carport. With room to store up to five cars undercover.
And enjoy never paying another water bill. Bore water is onsite suppling up to 80 gallons per minute, plus there’s 2 x 5000 litre water tanks supplying your drinking water.
There is also the potential to build a smaller second dwelling on the land, which could be a handy inbuilt income stream or guest residence. Or convert the existing shed into a second dwelling, pending council permission.
Enjoy the best of both worlds, be surrounded by nature in the hinterland, with plenty of space and soak in the serenity. Yet you are just minutes away from one of Australia’s most desirable beachside locations, Noosa Heads. Honestly can coastal living get much better than this??
Come and discover this beautiful original hinterland haven for yourself.
