​

This very private exceptionally well built and maintained timber home has come on the market for the first time since its current owner built it in 1987. The house features 2 living areas that open onto a very large north facing covered veranda. The veranda, main living areas, master bedroom and downstairs bedrooms are perfectly located to catch all of the Winter sun and are shaded from the Summer sun. Hand selected timbers are featured throughout, with spotted gum; brush box and Queensland maple being very evident. The home is heavily insulated and its 4 metre ceilings keep it cool in the Summer.  There is ample tank water and the property has water gravity fed from the year round spring that historically supplied water to the Mapleton steam railway. The 5KW solar system keeps power bills to a minimum and the wood fire provides a warm Winter ambience. 

The waterfall provides a place to chill out on warm Summer days. The garden has been established through the entire 1.78 hectare's of land area and features an extensive variety of rainforest and hardwood trees. This is a very private, comfortable place to live and to garden and it is 1 minute from Mapleton, north facing on the Blackall Range.

Property History:

Back in the early 1900’s the Blackall Range was a sugar cane & citrus growing community. The produce was transported by steam strain down the Blackall Range from Mapleton to Nambour. The train line was in part located at the rear of the current house. The water for the train was sourced from the spring that still flows through the property. The Namma family lived on the property and grew a variety of vegetables where the house now sits. These vegetables were transported by the steam train to Nambour where they were sold. The rich soil and ample water has enabled the very extensive garden to be established over the last 30 years.
