A Once-in-a-Lifetime Lifestyle | Self-Sufficient Hobby Farm & Eco Oasis
It's the dream so many talk about but so few ever achieve - true self-sufficiency on your very own hobby farm, combined with a lifestyle offering that's nothing short of extraordinary. This is the kind of property that belongs on postcards and Instagram stories, yet feels even better in real life. The owners have taken an already beautiful natural setting and transformed it into a place your friends, family - and future generations - will never forget.
The main residence feels like a timber cabin tucked away in the forest, yet its scale will surprise you. Cathedral ceilings, an open kitchen and living zone, and a welcoming fireplace create a warm, inviting heart to the home - a place where memories are made year after year. A massive bathroom, high ceilings throughout and an extended deck running the full length of the home further enhance the sense of space, while a side patio has been purpose-built as a sheltered outdoor zone for the dogs, keeping them close while remaining fully secure within a completely enclosed yard.
But this is only the beginning. Scattered thoughtfully across the property are a collection of unique and highly functional structures that elevate this offering well beyond anything else on the market. A converted railway sleeper provides a one-of-a-kind space ideal as an office, studio or potential granny flat - a nod to North Queensland's history and a genuine conversation piece. Nearby, another multi-purpose building offers flexibility as a teenagers' retreat, creative studio, large office or additional accommodation, with rustic character on the outside and an interior that will genuinely surprise you.
For those seeking true self-sufficiency, the infrastructure here is already in place. Dedicated nurseries connected to reticulation systems, an abundance of established fruit trees, and water systems running throughout the property allow you to grow, harvest and live sustainably with ease. Three fenced paddocks are ready for chickens, livestock or horses, complete with chicken coops waiting for their next residents.
Then there is the showstopper - a rustic barn-style shed that doubles as an entertainer's dream. With large double doors, incredible natural light and space for substantial equipment, it opens directly onto what can only be described as a tropical eco oasis. Step through the sliding doors and you're greeted by one of the most remarkable natural rock-scaped recreational swim ponds you'll ever see in North Queensland. This is not a conventional pool - it's a self-cleaning, self-sufficient ecosystem, naturally filtered and alive, with every rock placed by hand. The water is cool, clean and incredibly inviting, and appears just like a natural creek that flows directly into the pond. Add in the barbecue area and smokehouse, and you have a setting designed for long afternoons, slow evenings and complete connection to nature.
To the rear of the property, functionality continues in abundance. A massive drive-through carport easily accommodates trucks, caravans and large machinery, while the original dwelling from the property's early years remains - a fascinating piece of history and further storage or creative potential. Covered parking is available beside the main home, with four vehicle spaces in the shed and another four under the oversized carport.
Solar power supports the eco-focused lifestyle, while direct creek access at the rear of the block places nature literally at your feet. The kids will love the freedom, the animals, the swimming pond and the endless space to explore - and adults will love knowing that everything is already established, thoughtful and ready to enjoy.
Properties like this simply do not come along twice. This is a lifestyle, a legacy, and an opportunity you are unlikely to see again in your lifetime.
At only 25 Minutes to the Willows Shopping Centre, this one is well worth the drive - we look forward to meeting you here this weekend.
