Cooran Waters is an immaculately restored historic house on the Sunshine Coast set on 23.3 gently undulating paddocks. Perfect family home or business a short 1km from town with all the conveniences of schools, post office for your internet orders, restaurant and shops. Its town location also facilities high internet speeds and Woolworths and organic farm deliveries. However the town location could be a long way off when you drive up the long driveway and look around at the spectacular views of wooded hills, mountains and landscaped gardens surrounded by huge trees.
This is a perfect property for enjoying horse riding or starting an equestrian centre as the property has direct access onto the famous Noosa Horse Riding Trails which extend to 100 km through the local National Park, hills and forests. With three stables and special flexible horse fencing you are all setup to start your hobby or business. This is a perfect family home to enjoy stunningly beautiful views from every room.
This property meets all Council requirements for a Bed and Breakfast business as Its over 10 acres and has a tarred road frontage, which is the criteria for tourism, and has a separate self-contained accommodation area that is currently being used as a tack room but could easily be renovated for accommodation purposes. It is conveniently located just 30 minutes pleasant forest drive to Noosa Beach.
There are other business opportunities. The 23.3 acres are fertile and uniquely flood proof and draught proof. The enormous dam/lake is spring fed and has a pump which currently irrigates the house yard and stables. It is therefore ideally suited for livestock or growing crops where irrigation could easily be setup as there are already underground pipes generating water supply by solar pump or the dam pump to the house and stables.
The land could prove very valuable as part of the low lying land runs along Tablelands Rd. Previous owners have fenced inside the boundary but the property owns the roughly 1/2 acre of land adjacent to the roadside. Subject to Council approvals, this land is ideal for subdivisions being right on the edge of town.
Another interesting possibility is that during recent months quartz has appeared over a hill top which is an indicator of gold below. So far there has been no investigation by the owners as to what lies beneath but it is worthy of noting as the Gympie area has produced massive gold hauls in the past. It is no guarantee of course but it is a fundamental indicator that gold miners look for.
