A modern Queensland county manor set on acreage, with resort-style amenities and development potential, has hit the market just north of Noosa.
Known as Calico Lodge, the fully-fenced 9.27ha (22.9-acres) estate at 420 Mary Valley Road, The Dawn, is being offered for sale at $3.3m.
Positioned in a tightly-held acreage enclave, just 6km from Gympie’s CBD, the property bis attracting attention for its scale, quality and versatility.
Professionals Gympie owner and director Peter Olsson said opportunities of this calibre were rare.
“The Dawn is always very popular and the level of demand for that area is extremely high,” Mr Olsson said.
“Generally speaking, owners there don’t sell every day of the week, so when properties come up, they’re always held in high regard.”
Mr Olsson described Calico Lodge as a “standout” property that’s in a class of its own.
“I’d love to say you list properties like that every day of the week, but you simply don’t,” he said.
“It would be in the top three properties I’ve ever personally listed in my time in real estate.”
Set behind a remote-controlled gated entrance and approached via a tree-lined driveway, the estate immediately establishes a sense of exclusivity.
The contemporary acreage residence sits amid manicured grounds, with a resort-inspired design positioned to capture views across the surrounding countryside.
Built by renowned master builder Andy Green and recognised with a major Sunshine Coast home award when completed in the mid-1990s, the residence remains a showcase of quality craftsmanship and enduring design.
Outside, a spectacular 122,000-litre heated saltwater pool with integrated spa facilities, water features and Italian-tiled entertaining areas provides a resort-style focal point.
“The property is spectacular,” Mr Olsson said.
“It’s very resort-style, great for entertaining, great for lifestyle, great for families and its location is outstanding as well.
“All the hard work’s done, so it’s ready to move in and very easy to maintain.”
Beyond the residence, the property includes fenced paddocks, established fruit trees, 10kW of solar power, an 18m x 9m powered shed and Calico Creek, which is supported by a valuable 40-megalitre water licence and irrigation infrastructure.
The steel cattle yards include forcing and drafting yards, race, squeeze bail and loading ramp.
The dual-title configuration presents future potential, with scope for additional dwellings, subject to council approval.
“There’s certainly room to value-add to the property in that regard,” Mr Olsson said.
“It’s a genuine opportunity.”
The estate’s versatility ensures it will appeal to buyers seeking a premium family retreat.
“If you want that family lifestyle property and have a few horses or a few cattle, or a little bit of both, it’s perfect for that as well.”
Combining award-winning design, resort-style living, productive land and future potential, Calico Lodge represents a rare opportunity to secure one of Gympie’s most distinguished lifestyle properties in a location where prestige acreage holdings seldom change hands.
