A beautiful name for these beautiful 75 acres (30.45ha) facing north directly onto tidal Euleilah Creek (part of the Baffle Creek system) with approx. 859m creek frontage. On offer is a lovely 3 brm home, powered shed and self-contained 2 brm cabin giving you the choice of having an income producing property.<br/><br/>Built in 2005 and complimenting the block perfectly, the house is a traditional high-set Queenslander with wrap around verandas and river views from most rooms, particularly from the kitchen which has folding windows providing a servery out to the large rotunda. The kitchen is roomy with a gas cooktop & electric oven, a pantry, heaps of cupboards & drawers, and a dishwasher. Conveniently close by, is the large laundry which has more storage if required and enough room for that second fridge/freezer.<br/><br/>All major rooms access the verandas via French doors creating an open and airy home with plenty of natural light. Open plan design, the lounge is located off the dining room and has a slow combustion wood heater. There are 3 bedrooms; the main has an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe whilst the other 2 bedrooms have built in robes. One bedroom has two-way access to the main bathroom and toilet. Hot water is solar and total rainwater collection is approx. 26,396 gallons (120,000 litres). <br/><br/>Mains power is connected and there is a 3.5kw feed back to the grid solar system.

A semi-automatic irrigation system is in place throughout the house yard supplying water from the dam for the orchard, garden beds and lawns.<br/><br/>Now for the best part - the creek. For those of you who love fishing or going out in the tinny, you can take your pick on this block as you have both an on-site pontoon and boat ramp. Well known for prawns, crabs and fishing - think of the fun to be had. It is very attractive along the creek banks as well as being nice and flat. It would be a great area for friends and family to set up camp when they visit. <br/><br/>Fully fenced with a spring-fed dam, an electric fence protects the house yard. Being selectively cleared, you could easily run some cows or horses as it has done in the past. <br/><br/>"Kotuku" is the Māori word for White Heron, large flocks of which can be seen flying low up and down the river at dawn and dusk during winter.<br/><br/>Having bitumen road frontage, facilities in Baffle Creek & the local primary school are a mere 3km (approx.) away.
