With a 7 x 4m saltwater pool and a shady firepit courtyard set beneath the branches of a vast pecan tree, this is a home you may never want to leave.

Outside, a two-bay lined garage includes aircon and internet, providing excellent parking, gym or work-from-home office space, while two carports ensure plenty of additional covered  parking.

Inside, the newly renovated walk-through kitchen at the heart of the home encompasses stone countertops, a sit-up island, induction hob, wall oven and modern appliances. It adjoins a large living/dining room on one side and a cosy breakfast room on the other, both flowing out to an al fresco deck with fitted cabinetry, fridge and BBQ - the perfect spot to entertain family and friends.

Three queen bedrooms, all offering built-in wardrobes and leafy outlooks, include a spacious master with chic ensuite. A family bathroom and a good-sized laundry/mud room complete the internal footprint.

Cooling is ensured through split-system air conditioning, while ceiling fans and flyscreens throughout allow the coastal breezes to flow. Town water supply means your rural acreage  will never run dry.

The fully fenced, lawned cottage garden surrounding the house encompasses raised veggie beds and flower gardens, creating a space where children and pets can play safely.

The rural surrounds of 182 Lake Macdonald Drive are a delight to explore, with a small creek meandering through established bush at the bottom of the property. Across the acreage, three electric-fenced paddocks are serviced by water troughs and a stable block - the ideal set-up for horses, llamas or goats. Two 6 x 3m sheds, meanwhile, provide workshop potential and storage for mowers and tools. 

Dual access from Lake Macdonald Drive and Lake Ridge Court creates easy driving manoeuvrability and provides scope to add a second dwelling. And level off-street parking space at the top of the property caters for caravans, boats and trailers.  

With school buses running along Lake Macdonald Drive, the property provides straightforward access to some of the region's top public and private schools.

Situated 1.5km from Lake Macdonald, it is a short walk or ride to the eight-hectare lakeside park of Noosa Botanic Gardens and the riding and walking trails of the extensive Noosa Trail Network.
