Nestled privately in a residential resort area of the Sunshine Coast, this lavish country residence stretches over three pavilions with four ensuited bedrooms. Bellbird Homestead enjoys an idyllic vantage point gazing over the property’s lush pastures, large dams, and rural scenery.

A grand port cochere leads through a stone-lined vestibule into a central pavilion containing several living spaces. The grand double doors open into the expansive entrance with exposed stone walls, high cathedral ceilings and feature lights. This opens straight up into the backyard, with views overlooking the water feature. The private master wing includes two studies, complete with hardwood floors, and private balcony overlooking the scenic views. The ensuite’s main feature is the marble sink, and bath overlooking the bushland beyond.

The separate guest wing offers wide shady decks and terraces surrounding the beautifully landscaped 20 metre saltwater pool and beyond over picturesque rural views. There is extensive use of stone and timber throughout the home, adding to the luxury cottage feel. The living area features both a formal and casual living room as well as the dining room opening onto the entertainers kitchen. Complete with timber cabinetry, island bench and elegant splashback tiling.

With a 375 acre backyard, this is a prime position for aspiring farmers, complete with a three bedroom cottage and one bedroom studio separate from the main residence. With prime position to enjoy water sports on the large dam, boating, kayaking and fishing and ideally suited to adventurous pursuits like trail biking, quad biking and horse riding, in your own backyard.
