A relaxed, traffic light free, leisurely 20 minute drive to Mount Morgan and 45 minute drive to Rockhampton, this property is far enough out to suit someone looking for small town, rural life but close enough in to keep access to all the facilities and services you could possibly need.
On 6.67 acres, with a large swath of land running along the Dee River, this property has enough room for nearly everything you could want on a small acreage/future homestead hobby farm.
The house itself was moved here many years ago. It has only had 2 owners since it has been in Dululu. Even in the ‘100 year’ flood events, the house still doesn’t flood. The current owners added to the property, by way of a donga attached to the shed, expanding the functionality of residential portions of the property.
The home has 2 proper bedrooms in it, one with a box and one with a split system. There are two sleepouts, of which you could convert part of into another bedroom or use them as living areas. There is a lounge in the centre of the home, that also has a split system in it. In the kitchen area, which is open plan to the dining space with a reverse cycle split system, there is a modern set of cupboards and electric glass top stove, separate oven and rangehood. The bathroom completes the interior facilities with modern fixtures and fittings, including a linen cupboard.
Moving into the shed space, you’ll find two large open areas with heaps of workshop space, concreted floor, power, workbenches and more. At the back of the shed, up a short flight of stairs there is an attached donga. The donga is split into 3 spaces, the centre space where you enter from the shed to, and at each end is an office or possible 3rd and 4th bedrooms. Both end rooms have air conditioners and are big enough to fit desks and office workings or single beds and wardrobes. Use the middle section as a foyer for an office. Use it as a lounge space for the 2 bedrooms, making it a teens retreat. Or find your own uses for it and make it fit your lifestyle.
The property is fenced along Dee St and Burnett Highway, then back towards to river. The fencing is at the most reasonable bordering of the riverbed as is practicable but doesn’t properly encompass the full extent of the block, due to the logistics of fences and riverbeds.
On the roof of the house, you will find solar panels, reducing your power bill and making it more affordable to run all the air-conditioning you want from the multiple ones supplied with the home. There are 3 rainwater tanks plumbed to the house, with the pumps to move water around from tank to tank and to the house itself. There is also a community bore, with access at the front of the of the block, plumbed to the house. Though not currently accessed, it is merely a matter of contacting the person running the scheme and throwing in with the rest of the residents to assist with the cost of running the bore and pumps.
If you have read this far, something about this property has gained your interest. With the market is fast moving and active as it is now, don’t wait to long or you may just miss out on your chance to escape the rat race and live a quieter life at home.
