There is a very large walk-in pantry, ample 2Pac cabinetry, a plumbed fridge recess and laundry in each of the homes.<br/><br/>Consciously ensuring that the house has exceptional energy credentials, banks of solar panels feed both into the grid (5kWh), as well as sending 13.2kWh into an off-grid battery system.

From the roadway, a bitumen all-weather driveway winds its way up to the house's garage, parking areas and shed.<br/><br/>With workshop/storage access doors, enclosed garage parking for three vehicles and a high clearance, open double carport on one end, the steel shed is a practical workspace for trades and business owners and those with a caravan or boat.<br/><br/>Situated only 7 minutes in the car from Petrie or Dayboro, approximately 10-20 minutes from a choice of public and private schools and less than 1 hour (35km) to Brisbane's CBD, this property presents a relaxed rural lifestyle yet with the necessary conveniences still close at hand
