This pretty home is located on a Bellthorpe escarpment that provides expansive easterly views. It has the Bellthorpe National Park as a neighbour on 3 sides. The property is 40 acres of regrowth forest, with a cleared area of approximately 1 acre around the buildings. It has native gardens, and walking trails have been created through the property to enjoy the surrounding natural environment.
The house was designed to look and feel like an original farmhouse, with hardiplank exterior, wide timber verandas and polished Blackbutt floors in the living areas. It was built in 2004 by a respected local builder for a retired couple. The home has 3 bedrooms (all with full length built in cupboards), 1 bathroom with a second toilet adjoining the main bedroom, and laundry with external entry. The wet areas are tiled and the bedrooms carpeted. All windows are screened.
The building is roomier than it might appear, with the main bedroom measuring 5 x 3 metres and the other bedrooms 3 x 3. It has a large open plan kitchen and living area with a slow combustion stove and breathtaking coastal views from all the living area windows and from the main bedroom. The house is fully insulated. Broadband internet is available via satellite, as is pay TV.
The storage capacity of the house is generous, with a walk in linen cupboard, walk in pantry, separate broom closet and another large shelved storage cupboard in the laundry.
There is a 12 x 7.5 metre powered shed (3 bay plus workshop) with one vehicle door 3 metres high for RV access. There are 3 tanks giving a total of 15,000 gallons of pure untainted Bellthorpe water, and a gravity feed system for power outages. An enclosed, lit and powered 2 bay carport provides vehicle shelter, and there is a separate garden shed for firewood. Both the sheds and the carport have concrete floors.
This property is far enough from the madding crowd to enjoy some peace and quiet in a pristine environment, but close enough to towns to enjoy easy access to modern shops, events and facilities. This is blue ribbon South East Queensland Real Estate in Bellthorpe.
