Sunshine Coast sanctuary with six dwellings will fulfil your B&B dreams
If you have ever pictured an escape to the country, to a lush-green paradise away from it all, this sprawling estate could be the answer – and a chance to offer a haven to others seeking regional respite.
Set in Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland with a mountain backdrop, this 1.4-hectare lifestyle property in Kenilworth is truly immersed in nature, including breathtaking feature gardens, fruit trees, fenced paddocks, animal shelters, a secret gazebo and an entertaining deck by a billabong.
Known as Another Time, Another Place, the property comprises six dwellings – including the primary residence, Wellington House – and is currently run as a bed-and-breakfast with five accommodation options for guests.
The main homestead has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, wide verandahs, a dining room, a sunroom, and a spacious living area with a charming fireplace.
There is also a commercial-style kitchen with a 900-millimetre gas stove and stainless-steel prep areas, making it ideal for owner-operators to reside on-site and cater to guests.
Two self-contained cottages are tucked behind the house, each with a deck and en suite, and there is another two-bedroom family unit with its own kitchen, bathroom and living space.
A fourth guest dwelling is the peaceful studio, overlooking the billabong, with a kitchenette, en suite and front deck.
Finally, there’s Rose Cottage – a charming and private retreat at the front of the property with a kitchen, fireplace, and separate bedroom and lounge.
Listed by Nathan Beasley and Shannon Beavis from Your Property Co, the estate is described as a “breathtaking lifestyle property offering income potential, multigenerational living or the ultimate private escape”.
The property has a range of practical features, including undercover parking for 10 cars, a four-bay shed, bore water, creek-fed irrigation, fenced paddocks and rainwater tanks with a 45,000-litre capacity. There is also a 9.9-kilowatt solar-panel array and solar, electric and gas hot water systems.
“With a combination of rainwater tanks and bore-fed systems, the land thrives year-round, offering sustainability as well as beauty,” the agents say.
Lush landscaping, a scattering of fruit trees and a “secret” gazebo create an enchanting ambience in the vast gardens, where guests can gather to watch the sunset beyond the mountains.
The extensive entertaining deck beside the billabong evokes a range of possibilities as an event space, from weddings to peaceful retreats.
This property is currently for sale, with offers closing on Wednesday, May 14.
