A sprawling, purpose-built equine property in a prime location has hit the market for the first time, generating intense buyer interest.

With about 370m of river frontage and a residence that spans more than 800sqm, No.660 Petrie Creek Road is secluded but just 10 minutes from the ocean and Maroochydore city centre.

Town Sunshine Coast agent Zach Favell said the 4.8-hectare estate at Rosemount was built from the ground up by its current owners, with horse facilities, river access and outdoor recreation.

“This is arguably the finest horse acreage east of the Bruce Highway, offering an unmatched blend of lifestyle, functionality and location,” he said.

“The level of design, execution and overall quality is truly exceptional.”

The property, near Dusty Rhodes Bridge, is in a quiet and spacious locale but just outside of Maroochydore.

“It is perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from both the beach and CBD, offering the rare combination of rural tranquility and urban convenience,” Mr Favell said.

“With direct access to boating, horse riding, fishing and crabbing, the lifestyle on offer is second to none. Complete privacy, no neighbouring residences in sight, with spectacular river views and stunning mountain backdrops.”

The site, which is expected to sell for about $6 million, has garnered plenty of attention. There has been about 100 inquiries.

No.660 Petrie Creek Road is an expansive, secluded property but it’s not far from Maroochydore and the coastline.

“There has been an exceptional level of interest,” Mr Favell said.

“Since launch, inquiry levels have been unprecedented … the phone hasn’t stopped ringing.”

Mr Favell said the property had plenty of scope.

“It is perfectly suited to equine families, lifestyle acreage buyers or those seeking a high-end, turnkey rural escape with all the hard work already done,” he said.

“It will appeal particularly to buyers who value privacy, quality infrastructure and the convenience of proximity to both the coast and urban amenities.”

It is being sold by a family of five.

“It has been purpose-built to suit their active, outdoor lifestyle,” Mr Favell said.

“The two daughters are keen equestrians while the son enjoys dirt biking and boating.

No. 660 Petrie Creek Road.

“The layout and amenities reflect a well-thought-out lifestyle vision that caters to multiple interests.

“(But) the family is now transitioning to a new chapter, presenting an incredible opportunity for the next owners.”

They purchased the land in 2012 and spent more than three years planning and constructing the property.

“From the residence and equine infrastructure to the sheds, arena and paddocks, no detail was overlooked,” Mr Favell said.

“This is the first time the property has been offered to market: a truly rare opportunity.”
