Ocean View, Qld 4521, Address available on request

Having undergone a complete renovation in 2016, this charming, well-equipped cottage set amongst the predominantly Blackbutt trees found within this ultra-private, semi-cleared 5-acre property is a breath of fresh air with its elevated Moreton Bay views, simple comforts and total tranquillity.

Inviting those looking for a peaceful weekend escape or an alternative lifestyle switch that allows you to detach from the noise, this neat weatherboard cottage features an ocean-view deck, a separate outdoor entertaining area and a fenced paddock perfect for a couple of horses.

The modern kitchen has timber benchtops and sleek cabinetry, with stainless steel appliances including an under-bench oven, a canopy rangehood and a dishwasher, and a black glass electric cooktop to complete the contemporary country style. A door to the covered deck makes lazy outside dining a cinch.

Included is a split-system air-conditioner to keep living areas cool and cosy, and floating Blackbutt timber floors throughout. With one queen-sized bedroom and a renovated bathroom, this well-laid-out cottage is ideal for an individual or a couple. Roller blinds and security screens have been installed for light control and peace of mind, and there is a single carport beside the large deck.

The 5-acre block is fully fenced, with a post and rail entrance from the road. For those who dream of living self-sufficiently, a chook house and an enclosed greenery will allow you to collect fresh eggs and grow fruits and veggies. Rainwater is collected from the house roof and stored in a 22,500-litre tank. There is always the possibility to go completely off-grid.

Away from it all and yet only a 14*-minute drive from Dayboro, you'll be spoilt by the township's retail offerings, cafés, services, community amenities and produce stores. Further afield, Petrie train station is approximately 30 minutes away and the Brisbane CBD can be reached in approximately 1 hour.
