Imagine starting the day with your horses close by, coffee on the verandah and the space to enjoy a little country freedom. Set across 2.22 hectares in Sunshine Acres, this thoughtfully restored five-bedroom property brings together an equestrian lifestyle, flexible family living and afternoons spent by the pool.

There’s room here for generations to come together while keeping their own routines. Two kitchens, separate living spaces and covered entertaining areas off both create dual living potential for extended family or guests. Share a meal, enjoy time together, then retreat to your own space when the day winds down.

The main kitchen gives home cooks plenty to appreciate, with approximately nine metres of 40mm stone benchtops, extensive cupboard and pantry storage, and 16 soft-close drawers. A gas cooktop, electric oven with an air-fryer function and dishwasher make it a practical centre for everyday meals and larger gatherings. The second kitchen also features stone benchtops, a gas cooktop and a built-in microwave, adding flexibility to the home’s layout.

The master bedroom offers a walk-in robe and a fully tiled ensuite with a heated mirror, while the main bathroom has been updated with new plumbing and fittings. Updated air conditioning, a replacement hot-water system and a 10.6kW solar installation add to the comfort and practicality of the home.

Outside, established gardens soften the landscape, with mature trees and a variety of fruit and nut trees, including mango, macadamia and citrus. Generous undercover entertaining areas offer space for relaxed lunches and family celebrations, while the inground pool and hot tub make staying home an appealing weekend plan.

For horse lovers, the infrastructure is already a significant part of the appeal. Twelve stables, fully fenced paddocks and a dam with a Honda pump for irrigation provide a substantial foundation for life with your horses at home.

An in-and-out driveway makes access easy, with a three-bay shed, carport and three garden sheds providing room for vehicles, equipment and the tools that come with acreage living. Rainwater storage totals approximately 67,000 litres, complemented by a filtration system incorporating UV technology.

With Hervey Bay’s beaches, shopping, schools and medical facilities within driving reach, this is a place to enjoy a rural setting while staying connected to everyday essentials.

For those considering a fresh start, the option to purchase fully furnished may also be available by negotiation — an opportunity to settle in and begin enjoying the lifestyle sooner.
