Escape to the Country

Step into your own world and leave the rat race behind. <br/><br/>The adventure begins as you make your way along McLeod Road. With each passing moment time begins to stand still. Travelling through dappled sunlight and a hallway of gums nestled from view, a lifestyle of peacefulness and delight awaits.<br/><br/>Whether you seek a new family home, a hobby farm, an investment, or a country weekender, “Pencil Creek Olive Grove” could be just what your heart desires.<br/><br/>Centrally positioned on 23 rolling acres is a character filled 90-year old Queenslander which was carefully moved from Maryborough 20 years ago, re-roofed, re-wired and re-plumbed and highset on concrete posts. And so, the current owners' vision began to be realized. They created a home to enjoy. Some 500 + olive trees later, they have exactly what others envy. A peaceful leisurely lifestyle among the olives trees, pressing their own oil, and dining al fresco with a glass in hand and friends across the table.<br/><br/>The grove is full of birds and supports red-necked wallabies and other wildlife making this an explorer’s delight. Add a treehouse, vege gardens and chickens and join the crowd living the sought after self-sustainable country life.<br/><br/>Situated less than 5 minutes to Mapleton town centre and within 40 minutes of our beautiful Sunshine Coast beaches and expanding CBD, this versatile property offers the following:<br/><br/>• 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with the potential to make a self-contained open plan granny flat perfect for family guests or AirBnB Clientele.<br/>• Country kitchen<br/>• Lounge with pot belly fireplace<br/>• Dining and sitting room<br/>• Spacious front and side verandahs<br/>• Office/study<br/>• Family room<br/>• Salt water pool overlooking French varietal olive trees<br/>• Machinery shed with Olive Press room<br/>• Home features: ornate original fretwork, coloured glass period casement windows (renovated by our Owner), French doors, original boxwood floors, VJ walls and 11 foot ceilings<br/>• 65,000L stored water plus 2 spring-fed dams <br/>• 3kW solar system (16 panels)<br/>• Ground level operated gutter cleaning system<br/>• Excellent WiFi connection<br/><br/>Motivated Owners are set to return to Europe and are sadly relinquishing their slice of Australiana.<br/><br/>Call immediately to secure your inspection as this beautiful property will be snapped up.
