83 Lees Road, Conondale

Hidden away from the demands of the modern world, this is your own 320-acre private sanctuary where timeless tranquillity meets thoughtful living. Enveloped by untouched forest and sweeping open grasslands, this remarkable estate offers complete privacy with no neighbouring homes in sight and beautiful natural aspects in every direction including a stunning backdrop of the breathtaking Conondale National Park. Loved by its current owners for almost 2 decades—who have successfully run a commercial farm supplying organic niche products to top-end Australian restaurants—this property delivers a lifestyle within a breathing landscape, a place where life slows to the rhythm of birdsong, seasonal blooms and the quiet presence of native wildlife. The rustic timber home of approximately 60 years reflects the strength of dwellings built within that era, affording you functionality with timber floors throughout, three generous bedrooms, study and open-plan living with stainless steel benches and fittings gracing the kitchen. The farmhouse also has solid fuel heating and who doesn’t love a fire on a chilly winters night? The wraparound undercover verandah provides the perfect stage for long, contemplative mornings with coffee or alfresco lunches framed by the gentle hush of the trees. A sparkling saltwater heated lap pool (13m x 4.5m)—against a background of Bunya and Hoop Pines—complements the verandah’s view. Step beyond the home and you’ll discover walking trails meandering through forest and leading to a serene freshwater stream—a peaceful spot to cool your heels in the warmer months or walk upstream to one of the best little waterfalls complete with swimming hole. Tucked away in the trees along the path is a caravan campsite (8m x 8m concrete floor, 4m high zincalume canopy roof) with a 10,000 litre rainwater tank and solar panel. Other infrastructure on the property includes two 6m x 6m utility sheds—completely infilled with pine ceilings, polished concrete floors and air-conditioning—currently being used by the owners as a writer’s retreat and a music studio. Another 9m x 11.5m smoko shed/granny flat has two private rooms, large living area, full bathroom, ceiling fans throughout, heating and a lovely porch overlooking the creek through the floodlit branches of a magnificent Moreton Bay Fig. An open tractor and machinery shed (including gym) borders the cottage. A short walk from the house a massive farm shed (18m x 9m), fully plumbed and with 3-phase power, provides ample workshop space for the serious farmer or weekend handyman. It abuts growing fields and a 20m x 30m x 5m (at apex) solar film grow tunnel all with access to irrigation. A fully usable ‘old deer shed’ adds to the bucolic charm. Practical inclusions abound: • Undercover parking • 20kW solar panel array • 30,000 litres of fresh rainwater storage (split between 3 tanks) plus a well and a plentiful bore that supply a further two 10,000 litre tanks • Established fruit trees, a commercial grade vegetable garden, and a flourishing array of native plants • Fenced paddocks suitable for grazing or hobby farming • 2 dams add to the abundant water available Despite its uncompromised privacy, the property offers exceptional convenience: just a short drive to local amenities in nearby Conondale and Kenilworth (10 and 15 minutes away respectively) and 25 minutes to Maleny—all three towns on school bus routes—45 minutes to Noosa and an hour to the Sunshine Coast. This is a property for those who seek the inspiration and rejuvenating qualities of Mother Nature. Whether you’re a farmer, artist, writer, thinker—or simply someone who values peace, privacy, and possibility—this rare holding offers an extraordinary canvas for your next chapter.
