Booroobin, QLD, 4552, Australia

From the moment you begin making your way down the winding driveway and into the heart of this property, you know you've stumbled onto something special - from the flicker of the gum leaves through the wind in the forest, to the glimpses of hinterland ranges in the distance.

Tucked away amongst natural timberland and pockets of rainforest within the Sunshine Coast hinterland locale of Booroobin, this special 100 acre (40.3 hectare) parcel of largely undisturbed land provides you with the potential to live a gentle lifestyle, in harmony with the natural environment. This property could be an ideal location to build a sustainable forest retreat (STCA), a tiny home or use it as a camping property.

The majority of the land is untouched and left to nature – requiring little to no maintenance from the property owner but providing exceptional privacy and great natural beauty. There is a spring-fed dam with a pump that provides water for the gardens around the dwelling as well as a seasonal creek meandering through the property.

Accommodation is provided in an off-grid, character filled, cabin style quarters. The thoughtful re-purposing of a former banana packing shed now offers a functional living and bedroom space with rustic charm and warm timber accents and floors. The camp-style kitchen has a wood-burning oven and cooktop plus the added advantage of bench-top gas burners.

A clever breezeway spans the space to additional sleeping quarters and an inviting north-facing deck – the perfect spot to greet the morning or end the day as the late afternoon light filters through the trees. Further embracing simple living, the composting toilet and bathroom facilities are housed in separate outdoor structures.

A solar-powered 4-bay shed with mezzanine floor and two built-in shipping containers amply covers your equipment storage needs. Additional established infrastructure includes all-weather gravel driveway access, rainwater tanks, boundary fencing on two sides, a myriad of walking trails throughout the property and past remnants of a 10-acre former organic banana plantation with tracks and terraces throughout. With rich fertile soil conducive to growth, the entire property has been free of chemicals, artificial fertilisers, and pesticides for over 27 years.

What are the possibilities here? Buyers in the market for land to build a permanent home, embracing gentle living and self-sustainable principles, could build in the vicinity of the space where the cabins or shed currently sits.

There is also the potential, subject to council approvals, to build cabins and explore a sensitive eco-tourism scenario to generate an income stream; or just buy today and land bank, as parcels of land on the Sunshine Coast of this size are increasingly scarce.

Or investigate the business use of the native timbers that are in abundance here - through a carbon credit system for example, or selective harvesting of millable timbers through an accredited forest practice.

Or, you may simply be seeking a hinterland weekender, somewhere to escape the fast pace of city life and the hustle and bustle of suburbia...this would be ideal for that purpose.

Whilst it certainly feels peaceful, and you will literally experience 100% serenity and privacy; the amenities of Beerwah and Maleny are no more than a 20 minute drive, it's approximately 13 minutes to Peachester with a local primary school, 50 minutes to Caloundra's beaches, and 90 minutes to Brisbane CBD and airport.

The current owners have held for 27 years - they know they have something truly special here, and so do we! With seclusion and privacy nestled in a tranquil bush setting, this property is perfect for the nature custodians of tomorrow.
