Some properties make you stop and take in the view. At 98 Gabal Road, that feeling becomes part of everyday life.
Set across approximately 88.2 acres in beautiful Lillian Rock, this thoughtfully established rural retreat combines fertile country, native rainforest and an elevated home with a breathtaking mountain outlook. From quiet mornings with a coffee to long afternoons beside the pool, this is a property built around enjoying where you live.
Purchased as a blank canvas more than two decades ago, the land has been transformed by the owners into their retirement haven. Everything you see today reflects their vision, care and hard work, with improvements continuing as weather permits. With their next chapter now calling, they offer a special opportunity to enjoy everything they have created-and add your own touches.
The home brings comfort and practicality together through generous living spaces and an open-plan kitchen, dining and family area. Deep blue cabinetry, pendant lighting, a substantial island bench and a butler's pantry create a welcoming heart to the home, while expansive windows connect the interiors with the surrounding greenery.
A separate lounge and dedicated office provide flexibility, while the main bedroom includes a walk-in robe and ensuite. Outside, the broad covered entertaining area is somewhere you will naturally gather, with space to share a meal, unwind and appreciate that remarkable outlook.
Established palms frame the heated saltwater swimming pool and give the grounds a lush, tropical feel. The separate poolside studio, complete with a bathroom and generous deck, adds another dimension-whether you envision a creative workspace, personal retreat or space for visiting family and friends.*
The productive gardens add to the appeal of country living, with a variety of citrus trees, blueberries, grapevines and mango trees planted throughout the grounds. Retaining-wall garden beds accommodate seasonal vegetables and herbs, while the upper western gardens have previously grown tomatoes, beans and peas, making the most of the property's rich red soil.
Beyond the home, fenced paddocks currently accommodate alpacas, with fertile soils offering scope for a rewarding hobby farm. A substantial dam, which the owners advise has never run dry during their ownership, complements the property's rural appeal. Native rainforest and bushland add privacy, habitat and a beautiful natural backdrop.
Generous shedding, garaging and covered vehicle accommodation provide practical space for equipment, projects and country living.
