Space, Serenity and Exceptional Convenience - The Ultimate Mix
Positioned in one of Chevallum's most tightly held lifestyle corridors, this exceptional 5.85-acre property offers a rare opportunity to secure a gently sloping parcel of land framed by a natural rainforest buffer and a seasonal creek. Surrounded by quality homes and set within a highly sought-after and incredibly convenient location, it delivers the space, privacy and potential many buyers have been waiting for.
The Land
Set across 2.366 hectares in total, the land is the standout feature here: a gently sloping, open and highly versatile 1.7-hectare (approx.) cleared envelope offering multiple building sites and excellent scope for equine use, horticulture, gardens or a modern acreage residence.
Toward the rear, the property transitions into a tranquil rainforest corridor with mature gums, palms and a seasonal creek, accompanied by a small permanent waterbody that may offer additional water sources for gardens or animals. This area provides natural privacy, abundant birdlife and a soft western-sun buffer.
Dual established driveway entries provide convenient and flexible access to the existing improvements. The property is fenced to neighbouring boundaries, with the front and rear remaining open to provide flexibility for future layout, access design or construction planning.
Zoned Rural, the land supports a range of residential, lifestyle and rural uses, with options such as nature-based tourism or short-term accommodation possible (STCA).
The Location
This is acreage living with genuine convenience. Forest Glen Shopping Centre and Sunshine Coast Grammar School sit just 3.5 km away, Chevallum State School is only minutes from the gate, and Palmwoods is an easy 6 km drive. With easy access to the Bruce Highway, and Maroochydore CBD and the region's iconic beaches close at hand, the very best of the Sunshine Coast is placed within effortless reach.
Existing House
The original 1950s (circa) high-set timber dwelling remains on site and features classic weatherboard construction, VJ timber linings, timber windows and a traditional layout. Termite damage is present, so buyers should consider the home suitable for major renovation or replacement.
The home offers approximately 120 m² of internal space and benefits from existing power, septic and water tank connections, providing practical infrastructure for those looking to rebuild or repurpose the site.
While the dwelling requires substantial work, it retains potential for reuse. With renovation or modification, it could be considered for future use as a secondary dwelling (STCA) should buyers wish to construct a new primary residence elsewhere on the property.
Infrastructure
A key asset is the substantial steel-framed, high-clearance shed of approximately 150 sqm, with a concrete floor and power connected. An attached awning provides extra covered space for vehicles, floats, equipment or machinery.
The History
This property forms part of a district shaped by the Roy family, a pioneering local name in the Palmwoods district. The mature fruit trees remaining on the land, including the productive spray free Emperor mandarins, offer a subtle link to this agricultural past.
In later years, the property accommodated a well-known hang gliding and early ultralight aircraft business, where early hang-gliders, early ultralight aircraft, were designed and assembled onsite. Now offered as a deceased estate sale, the property presents the chance to secure a piece of local history, ready for new owners to shape its future.
