The property Vailima is located in an amazing location on a quiet country road, central to the Queensland Sunshine Coast. It is only 8 km from Noosa Heads and 8km from Peregian Beach, offering almost total privacy with tranquil views and a comfortable lifestyle. It is 7km to Peregian Springs shopping centre and Sunshine Motorway and is close to all major schools. From the property, it is under 20 minutes by car to the Sunshine Coast airport and a little over an hour from Brisbane.
Investment properties combining size, location and quality seldom come on the market. With such close proximity to Noosa and other Sunshine Coast beaches, Vailima has achieved and is assured of future capital gain as the region's population continues to increase. At the same time the property is located in a forested pocket lending further privacy from encroaching development.
Formerly a sugarcane farm, in recent times it has been used for cropping of soybean, corn and more recently for hay production. The layout of the fields also lends itself to easy management and expansion into organic produce for a local market. There is a billabong and one dam, with good sites for additional dams. It has a bore which supplies good quality water to an orchard as well as supplementing household needs. The owners do not run livestock, but the property is well suited and ease of management for this purpose.
It has a comfortable hi-set, well-preserved, classic federation Queenslander home (approx. 13.2m * 14.3m, refer to PLAN) with high ceilings and fans, including 3 bedrooms, study, 2 bathrooms, separate lounge and dining, with wide verandahs, front and back, enclosed in part with latticework. It retains many original features including external chamferboard and internal VJ construction, polished floors, coloured glass window sets, three sets of eight panel double doors, picture rails, ornate cornice and fret work. It was renovated in late 80s including wiring, plumbing, roofing and kitchen and refurbished in 2000 and since 2002 when it was moved to Vailima farm.
To benefit from air breezes and extend aspect and views, the homestead sits on 2.7m stumps with a cement floor and brickwork. This area contains the laundry with loads of space for storage and entertainment. It is protected from the western sun by a glorious mango tree covering an outdoor area with stunning views through to Mt. Cooroy.
There are multiple covered spaces for vehicles including the main shed (18m * 9m * 4.5m), with three tanks for rainwater and of course, the ubiquitous chook run.
It has an attractive entrance from the road, being well set back, with a thoughtfully designed garden and lawns. All of which add to the appeal of this property.
The owners are now retired and plan to move to be closer to family.
Vailima is an investment opportunity offering both convenience yet seclusion from future intensive development on the popular Sunshine Coast. It is an ideal lifestyle property. Importantly, it can also be easily managed with income options for hay and livestock production, organic vegetables or tree crops. Alternative house sites exist for a second dwelling or the existing home can be re-sited or sold for removal. The property has excellent potential to commercialise for nature-based tourism due to its relaxed setting and close proximity to beaches and Noosa Heads. Under the Sunshine Coast Plan, consistent uses include construction of up to 8 holiday cabins for short-term accommodation.
