Nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Glasshouse Mountains, 204 Glasshouse Woodford Road is more than just a property—it’s a testament to sustainable living. Designed with a deep respect for the environment and a keen eye towards the future, this home offers an unparalleled opportunity to embrace a lifestyle that harmonizes with wild life and nature while enjoying modern comforts and proximity to schools, employment, the city and beaches.
A Thoughtful Design Rooted in Sustainability:
Every element of this property reflects a commitment to sustainable living principles and self-sufficiency. From the energy-capturing 6.2KvA of solar panels that grace the roof, harnessing Queensland's abundant sunshine to power the home, while a state-of-the-art 40,000 litre rainwater harvesting system ensures water sustainability. For added security there is also a bore with pristine mountain water and a large dam for irrigating crops.
The house’s clever north orientation maximizes natural light and ventilation, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling, with views over Mount Beerwah and a huge billabong which provides its own microclimate attracting wildlife from afar. There are also two air conditioner units 6.2 HP for the main living / dining areas and 2.5 Hp for the master bedroom. maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.
Income from Eco-Tourism Accommodation
Tourist accommodation is a permitted development for the property. Subject to completion of planning requirements – with one 26m2 cabin already in place and similar local premises running at 90% occupancy much of the year, Council are supportive of the construction of a further three cabins, with potential for rental income of $8,100 -12,150 per month at 90% occupancy. Traffic, fire hazard management and a geotechnical report at a cost of $15-20k would be required for full implementation of the plan (i.e. ALL four cabins).
Food Forest & Landscaping:
With over a third of the 8,500m2 property planted to food crops and also supplying local restaurants, there is enormous potential to increase income from the property whilst maintaining Sunshine Coast Council‘s Sustainable Eco Tourism theme for the region. This not only supports local biodiversity but also creates a serene environment that complements the home’s natural surroundings. Crops currently growing in the unlimited fertile soils include organic ginger, galangal, chillis, sweet potato, cassava, pumpkin, lemon grass, several tomato varieties and chokoes. These allow residents to enjoy fresh, organic produce straight from their backyard whilst potentially supplying several restaurants with their requirements.
There are 3 rows of established 6m tall palms that provide mottled shade for assorted crops whilst there are multiple established trees for papaya, avocado, Davidson plum and mango interspersed with advanced exotic palms including Bismark, Cuban Royal , Foxtail, Piccinini, Traveler / Singapore palms for the botanically minded or wanting to supplement their income by selling advanced or potted palms. Existing water storages and delivery pumps and pipes provide virtually unlimited water supply for a commercial venture but could easily be enlarged.
Parking – cars, caravan campers, boats, tractors and implement storage.
There is parking for six vehicles through a combination of 6m x 6m x 2.4m high double garage, 8.4m x 6m x 3.2m high implement shed or potential stables and a 3.2m x 12m x.4 high garage / workshop under the main roof. There are separate undercover areas for two small Kubota tractors and gravel / hard stand areas for assorted rotary hoes, slashers, 48” ride on mowers and trailers.
Under the house there is an additional equipment storage room, a mushroom growing cupboard and extensive potting and blended soil storage together with two x 10,000l rainwater tanks and pressure pump.
Nestled outside among the trees and shrubs is the 20,000 litre rainwater tank which also provides water to the current 26m2 Eco Cabin and if required, can be connected into the bore supply.
