The Endeavour Foundation has revealed its latest prize home, and with a value of more than $2.8 million it is the disability service provider’s biggest yet.
Set on 0.45 hectare (1.1 acres), the foundation says if the home’s street name, Treehaven Way, doesn’t immediately help set the scene, then edging through the grand entrance gates that frame the picture-perfect rolling-hills estate will no doubt hit the mark.
Endeavour Foundation’s Anniversary Prize Home No.449 is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom fully-furnished manor in Maleny, complete with pool, unique potting shed and John Deere ride-on mower. It also includes furnishings worth more than $180,000, including a prized $13,000 ILVE Majestic oven.
“You can have all of this for as little as $10,” Endeavour Prize Home team leader Mardi Aldous said.
“However, for many, it’s more than just the chance to win. It’s also about the heart and soul of the mission.
“Every ticket sold helps Endeavour Foundation support people with disability live their best life by finding meaningful employment, learn life skills, be a part of their community, and live comfortably in homes built just for them.
“This includes the My Home My Life initiative: a $45m Queensland investment over four years where we will continue to build better homes for people with disability.”
In total, the Endeavour Foundation has given away more than 400 prize homes across Southeast Queensland, with the majority on the Sunshine Coast.
Prize home ambassador Alex Baker knows first-hand the benefits of such ticket sales, having worked at Endeavour Foundation for more than 14 years as a fully supported and now semi-independently supported employee.
“As someone with an intellectual disability, I’ve experienced how Endeavour Foundation’s support, and the support of the public in buying tickets, can help people of all abilities achieve their dreams,” he said.
“Buying a ticket for a home like this could change your life if you win, but more importantly, the money raised from ticket sales will go towards changing the lives of so many others – people with disability who really appreciate your support.”
The winner of the home can also choose to move in, rent it out or keep it as a holiday home, with an Airbnb income estimate of nearly $16,000 per month.
The prize home is at 34 Treehaven Way, Maleny, and is open to the public from 10am to 5pm daily.
Tickets can be purchased at the home, online at endeavourlotteries.com.au or by calling 1800 63 40 40.
