409 Flying Fish Point Road, Eaton, Qld 4860

Sitting on 4.65 Ha ( 11.49 acres) of undulating mostly cleared land the property captures gorgeous views over the Eaton Plains to the Innisfail Township and beyond to the Palmerston Range. The sunsets are stunning.

In 2006 Dr Hill sold the property to a local developer for $900 000, it was onsold to a local family who have raised their children here over the last almost 15 years, and with the kids moved on, it is time to share this opportunity with the next lucky owners.

Dr Hill was a very successful doctor who became the head of Medicine at the Hospital. He built this home with very little thought to budget and a focus on making it a joyful place to be with the family. It was without a doubt, one of the most prestigious homes in the district and the scene for some great parties. An impressive, almost dramatic set of wide stairs leads to a full wrap-around verandah, with glass all round dragging light and views into the whole of the house. The living areas are huge and flow from one to the next and inside to out. The Tasmanian Oak Kitchen has proven that quality will always stand the test of time. The bathroom has however had a facelift from the original. 

The pool is a resort-sized lagoon with an attached poolhouse with full facilities for entertaining including a kitchen, shower, and toilet. There is also a championship-sized tennis court alongside the pool. It is not quite Hearst Castle but it has that feel about it. The asphalt driveway snakes up the rise behind the treeline which affords the property the ultimate privacy. All of this is just minutes from town, the boat ramp, and the beach.

Along with these improvements is the additional 2 bedroom cottage which is perfect for extended family to live in, or could be used by a caretaker. Alternatively, this classic low-set Queenslander could be rented out in a market devoid of vacancies.

The seller is asking for offers of over 1 million, which is not much more than was paid nearly twenty years ago. This is a lifestyle choice that will be a generational home for you and your family.
