This rural hideaway sits close to the coast and captures beautiful ocean breezes. The property is within 15 minutes of beaches, barra fishing in Baffle Creek and the township of Baffle Creek. The homestead is nestled back approximately 400 meters from the road in a tree lined grassy clearing. The property features 3 dams (2 large functional dams), good drainage and is fully fenced with 4 strand barbed wire on all boundaries. There is plenty of grassed woodlands for feeding livestock and a variety of roads and tracks give you great access to the property. An abundance of wildlife, flora and forna with native grass trees, hardwoods and flowering natives like banksia. This really is a piece of paradise.
Deepwater is located just below Agnes Waters and the historical Town of 1770, which is a 45 minute drive through the national park by 4WD or an hour by road. The township of Baffle Creek is a short 15 - 20 minute drive to the south where there is a school, general store and pub. The area is predominantly farms with large parcels of macadamia nut farms and wooded blocks. Rules Beach is a popular spot and the creek entrance gives you access to the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.
A modest yet established camp stay comes with the property that generates cash donations (NOT A REGISTERED BUSINESS). There are 17 camp sites scattered throughout the property and each campsite has a fire ring and access via maintained tracks. This generates a modest seasonal income and is listed and signed as "Deepwater Hideaway". NOTE: THE CAMP STAYS ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED DUE TO A DEATH IN THE FAMILY.
There is currently no live stock on the property which means the wildlife has moved back in. Kangaroos regularly visit the homestead and coastal birds are abundant. This really is a piece of paradise.
Being close to the Tropic of Capricorn means that the climate is tropical and the wet seasons can bring good rains. There are 6 water tanks that combine to provide just over 150,000 litres (when full) ensuring that you have ample water in the dry seasons. 6.6Kw of solar panels provide power to the homestead, shed and granny flat and the property is fed by a 25 Kilowatt mains transformer. Backup power is provided by a 9Kw petrol generator.
The homestead is of steel construction with colorbond interior and exterior, sandwiching pink batt insulation on both the ceiling and walls. So the home is well insulated from the elements. Cooling is via a 3.8Kw Mitsubishi industrial reverse cycle split system and the interior walls to the bedrooms have been cleverly designed to maximise the airflow. A slow combustion fireplace warms the home in winter and the homestead is fully screened. The large 9 meter x 9 meter lounge/dining area gives this home a great open feel.

Directly adjacent to the homestead there is a 5 bay 15m long x 3.5m wide steel shed that has an added 3 meter awning that runs the entire length. The homestead and the shed are separated by a lawned area with a path and garden beds between. The end bay of the shed has been lined and converted into a 3.5m x 9m room (currently used as a music studio). The shed is powered, houses the generator and has the 6.6Kw of solar on the roof along with a weather vane. The end shed room is airconditioned via a wall unit.
Cabin/Granny Flat
Directly behind the shed (at 90 degrees to the shed) a single bedroom cabin (9m long x 3.5m wide) with ensuite and kitchenet has been built. This is not a demountable building. It has been constructed in place on steel posts/stirrups. Constructed of steel paneling with wood panel ceiling making this very comfortable accommodation for visitors or family members.
