Set high within the richly diverse and breathtaking Whyanbeel Valley, this extraordinary lifestyle and income-producing property captures the most spectacular panoramic views - stretching across the majestic mountain ranges and up Manjal Jimalji (Devils Thumb) beyond. Privately positioned and lovingly held within the same family for more than 40 years, the property offers a rare combination of tropical beauty, productive orchards, peaceful seclusion and established infrastructure.
An original restored Queenslander residence sits proudly elevated, and perfectly positioned to embrace the cooling breezes and the best views of the valley. Rich in character and beautifully maintained, the home features unique parquetry timber floors, beautiful timber-framed stained glass windows and doors, three bedrooms and one bathroom. A timber verandah wraps gracefully around the residence, creating the perfect vantage point to enjoy the spectacular outlook over the tranquil pond, lush orchards and surrounding valley landscape. A crystal clear freshwater creek meanders through the lower sections of the property, offering water security, pristine swimming holes and an idyllic natural setting rarely found.
With four separate lots spanning approximately 16.07 hectares across two freehold titles, the property is also home to a thriving and productive tropical fruit orchard featuring approximately 340 mature mangosteen trees, 80 rambutan trees and 20 durian trees, many established for 2035 years and supported by comprehensive irrigation infrastructure. The property also operated as a productive taro farm in recent years producing 20 tonnes of taro annually, further highlighting the abundant water supply and exceptional growing conditions that make this fertile valley so highly regarded for tropical agriculture. The land's diverse farming history showcases its versatility and long-standing suitability for a wide range of horticultural pursuits.
Adding further appeal, the property includes extensive operational improvements and income potential with a separate two-bedroom, fully self-contained cottage, private guest house, a machinery shed and an additional fruit packing shed, making it ideal for lifestyle buyers, horticultural operators, or multi-generational living.
