CHARMING COUNTRY COTTAGE ON 2.5 ACRES

Step back in time to another era as you enter this thoroughly charming 3 bedroom 2 bathroom country cottage. The cottage is aptly named Fig Tree Cottage in recognition of the giant fig tree on the property which managed to escape the early pioneers’ axe.

The original 1930’s cottage has been extensively renovated and added to by the current owners, creating a compatible blend of old and new and there’s not a thing left to do but enjoy the delightful ambience the home has to offer. There’s a new wing on the south side of the house with third bedroom and its own ensuite bathroom with toilet and lovely claw foot bath. On the north side a beautiful glassed in sunroom has been added to allow great views over the expertly landscaped gardens or a great place to relax and read a book. There’s undercover parking for one car adjacent to the sunroom and kitchen. The compact kitchen is very functional and adjoins the open plan wood heated living dining room and there’s a second bathroom with another claw-foot bath plus separate shower nearby. On the back patio there’s a second toilet – ideal if you’ve been working in the garden and you don’t want to walk through the house. In the yard there’s a couple of garden sheds and a shade house but best of all is the 4mx10m western red cedar bungalow or guest accommodation curiously nicknamed the Bothy – complete with its own bathroom!

The 2.5 acres of landscaped grounds is fully fenced, is very private and has numerous fruit trees and ornamentals. Water supply is from the adjacent permanent creek and numerous rainwater tanks.
Located only minutes to Lake Eacham and Malanda with a bus at the corner this property is a must see for anyone appreciating the warmth and charm of timber and that old world feel missing from the modern masonry block homes.
