From the owner:
The Property now comprises:
4 standalone hexagonal cabins
3 duplex buildings (6 units)
2 larger renovated units
1 additional unit currently under renovation
1 separate one-bedroom unit (games room on Lot 3)
Set across approximately 25 acres (plus additional land on Lot 3), the property includes:
Extensive underground infrastructure (power, water, sewage)
Fully compliant fire and safety systems
Swimming pool, dam, shed, and 40ft shipping container
The important part?
All the hard work has been done.
This is no longer a project—it's a functioning, income-producing asset.
All cabins have been renovated and furnished to a 3.5–4-star standard, with strong occupancy. One final unit remains (already leased), completing the picture.
Lifestyle & Location
Mapleton and the Blackall Range offer something genuinely special.
I still remember asking my wife on our first visit:
“Why is everyone up here so happy?”
The answer reveals itself pretty quickly.
Life slows down—in a good way. The noise, traffic, and pressure of city living are replaced with fresh air, open space, and a strong sense of community.
You're perfectly positioned to enjoy:
Easy access to Noosa and Sunshine Coast beaches
Stunning bushwalks and national parks
Great local dining with incredible views
A peaceful, welcoming environment
It's the kind of place people come for a weekend… and start thinking about staying.
A Unique Natural Asset
While re-establishing fire breaks, we uncovered beautiful rainforest walking tracks hidden within the property.
There's also a natural waterfall and protected areas of rare beauty—features that make this more than just a business. It's a truly special piece of land.
Operating the Business
After approximately 18 months of redevelopment and stabilisation, the property now runs efficiently.
Day-to-day involvement is modest:
General oversight and coordination of trades when required
Systems in place for maintenance and servicing
Pool and grounds professionally managed
No hands-on cleaning or day-to-day operational stress
Occasional minor issues arise (a lost key here or there), but with reliable trades available 24/7 and preventative maintenance in place, these are minimal.
Administrative tasks—tracking income and expenses—take only a few hours per week.
Importantly, the systems are in place so the property can be managed remotely, if desired. We are also happy to assist with a smooth transition.
Why We Are Selling
We had been pursuing another property in Port Macquarie, which has recently come back to market.
As much as we would love to keep everything, sometimes you have to make a choice.
We are open-minded in how this happens:
Sale of the entire property
A 49% partnership opportunity
Or a lease arrangement with the right operator
For the Investor or Buyer
We came into this with no experience—just belief in the asset. What stood out then still holds true today:
The property has strong structural integrity
You get significant land and infrastructure for your investment
It stands up well from a valuation perspective
Operationally, it is now set up to be:
Low-maintenance
Systemised
Scalable with the right vision
Final Thoughts
It is more than a property—it's a transformation story, a lifestyle shift, and a solid business opportunity rolled into one.
We encourage you to come and experience it for yourself. What we first saw as potential has now become something very real.
We are motivated sellers and will respectfully consider all genuine offers.
