In the hinterland of Queenslands Capricorn Coast, there are only about 35 rural-residential-zoned properties that share a rare, unique feature: they each have their home on top of their own hill!
This Queenslander home at 30 Dodson Lane is one of these select, few properties.
Close to Cawarral township, the property has easy access to either Rockhampton or the Capricorn Coast (about 25km from each). A gently sloping gravel road services access to the home.
Large, level areas surround this sturdy, hardwood-framed, fully-renovated Queenslander, while the rest of the property gently slopes away to grass and wood-lands encompassing an orchard, multiple sheds, a round-yard and a rentable, fully-renovated cabin. Good quality fencing with good water complete this unique rural-residential package.
With multi-horizon views in every direction, the more than 100 square metres of verandah complement the flow-through-ventilation and low-energy-use characteristics of this ideal lifestyle home. (Timber floor photos depict upper floor spaces, while cork and tile floors display lower).
