PINE LODGE 'CIRCA 1916' 164 ACRES
EVERY NOW AND THEN A PROPERTY COMES ON THE MARKET WHERE, IF THE WALLS COULD TALK, THEY WOULD TELL YOU THE STORIES OF 2 WORLD WARS AND THE COUNTLESS FAMILY EVENTS OF THE WELL KNOWN CANUNGRA FAMILY THE CORCORANS. OVER THE PAST 98 YEARS PINE LODGE WAS THE CENTRAL HAVEN FOR THE CORCORAN FAMILY, WITH MANY OF THE DESCENDANTS STILL IN THE DISTRICT TODAY ESTABLISHED A DAIRY FARM BACK IN 1916. THE CORCORANS COULD BE NAMES AS ONE OF THE EARLY PIONEERING FAMILIES OF THE CANUNGRA DISTRICT. THE ORIGINAL OWNERS GERTRUDE AND MICHAEL FOLLOWING THEIR DEATHS IN 1963 AND 1966 RESPECTABLY PASSED THE PROPERTY TO THEIR ELDEST DAUGHTER PHILOMENA AND PINE LODGE WAS HER HOME FOR ALL OF HER 97 YEARS. THE ESTATE HAS DECIDED TO SELL THEIR BELOVED PINE LODGE AND PASS THIS PROPERTY ONTO NEW OWNERS. THE ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD STILL SITS ON ONE OF THE MANY ELEVATED HILLTOPS SINCE THE DAY IT WAS BUILT. ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER FROM THE FRONT DECK. THE LOCATION IS PRIVATE AND PEACEFUL. THE ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD DOES NEED SOME T.L.C. BUT HAS PLAYED HOST TO MANY SOLDIERS DURING WWII (FROM THE NEARBY CANUNGRA ARMY CAMP) AND BECOME A HAVEN AND HOME TO MANY SOLDIERS, THOSE FAR FROM THEIR OWN HOME AND FAMILIES. MANY A MEAL WAS PREPARED IN OLD WOOD STOVE AND MANY LIFETIME FRIENDSHIPS WERE FORMED AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE FROM SOLDIERS FROM ALL OVER AUSTRALIA. THE PHYSICAL BEAUTY OF THIS 164 ACRES MAY TAKE MANY A LIFETIME TO DISCOVER. THE PROPERTY DOES OFFER SOME FENCING, A VARIETY OF HIGH COUNTRY AND FLATS, BUT ALL OF THIS WITHIN 2 MINUTES DRIVE INTO THE CANUNGRA TOWNSHIP AND ONLY 20 MINUTES INTO NERANG. THE POSITION IS SECOND TO NONE. THE PROPERTY DOES NEED SOME WORK TO BRING IT BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY BUT GIVEN THE TALES AND STORIES AND HISTORY THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS HELD FOR THE LAST 98 YEARS, MAYBE THE NEW OWNERS COULD ADD TO THE FOND MEMORIES THAT PINE LODGE HAS CAPTURED OVER THE MANY DECADES. AFTER 98 YEARS PINE LODGE COULD BE YOURS. IT IS THE FIRST TIME OFFERED!! THE ESTATE WILL AUCTION THE PROPERTY ON 16TH AUGUST 2014 ON SITE (IF NOT SOLD PRIOR) AT 11AM. PROPERTY CODE: 1811
