Welcome to your own slice of peaceful paradise, where tranquility meets practicality and self-sufficiency comes naturally.
This exceptional 16-acre property in the picturesque community of McIlwraith offers everything you've ever dreamed of in country living: space to breathe, stunning rural views, modern comfort, and a lifestyle that celebrates the best of the bush.
Tucked away just six minutes from the vibrant township of Gin Gin and within easy reach of Bundaberg and Childers, this property combines the serenity of country life with the convenience of town amenities. Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat, a family haven, or a property that supports a sustainable lifestyle, this home delivers it all.
The solid brick residence has been tastefully refreshed inside and out, air-conditioned throughout, freshly painted, and finished with new timber-look flooring. A modern, light-filled kitchen with a new freestanding stove makes meal prep a pleasure, while multiple living and entertaining spaces invite you to unwind and take in the sweeping views.
Guests will love the separate accommodation, complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and private decks, ideal for visiting family, a home business, or even potential Airbnb income. For those who love projects or need serious storage, the enormous shed provides ample space for machinery, vehicles, or hobbies of any kind.
Sustainability is at the heart of this property, featuring a 4.7kW solar system, solar hot water, grey water recycling, and four rainwater tanks totaling approximately 100,000 litres. Add a working bore and small dam, and you'll enjoy a true off-grid lifestyle with minimal running costs. The under-house cellar maintains cool, consistent temperatures - perfect for preserves, wine, mushrooms, or general storage.
Outside, you'll find an abundance of fruit trees, from mango and macadamia to lychee, red dragon fruit, and even the medicinal Gumbi Gumbi tree. Choose from multiple outdoor entertaining spaces to sit back with a cuppa or a glass of wine and soak in the peaceful surroundings - from watching the cattle graze to catching the glow of the cane fires during crush season and the fiery sunsets that paint the sky.
With daily mail delivery, weekly rubbish collection, school bus pickup, and proximity to schools, shops, and hospital services, this property offers the best of both worlds, rural tranquility with modern comfort and convenience.
If you've been dreaming of a tree change, a lifestyle upgrade, or a place to slow down and reconnect with nature, this McIlwraith property is your opportunity to make that dream a reality.
