This 16 hectare (40 acre) property is located mid-way along one of DeepwaterÂ’s quiet country roads. With a 200m frontage of fairly dense scrub, this is not a property that you can simply drive past and see the lie of the land. Like many rural properties that do not have road access, it is not until you put on your walking shoes and start walking the block that all its attributes are revealed.
It is easy to follow the left boundary which the owners have marked. To begin with the vegetation consists mainly of Bloodwoods, Gum, Grass Trees and Grevillea. The property is level here and as you move along the land starts to dip slightly and the vegetation is melaleuca, banksia and grasses consistent with wetlands. Having areas like these on your property are great as they are a big attraction for birdlife.
The soil on the property is sandy and there is a seasonal waterway with waterholes that would fill in during rainy periods. The native flowers would make walking the property a delight when they are in flower.
Making your way down the block, Bloodwoods, Gums, She Oaks, Grass Trees and Cabbage Palms start to intrude on the wetland vegetation and the land starts to rise. Soon you find yourself on the ridge that runs through several properties on Pacific Drive. This is quite a surprise because from the road you would never pick it. There are plenty of potential sites to build a home; it is simply a matter of choosing a spot that feels right for you.
The left side boundary is 830.4m and the right boundary is 801.3m long and by the time you reach the rear of the property, you are ready to stop and have a breather. The first thing you notice is the peace and quiet. It is wonderful – not a sound of humans can be heard. The air is filled instead with birds twittering and the sound of wind rustling the leaves of some of the huge trees on the property. The rear boundary is 225m and backs onto a firebreak which the owners of the large adjoining property have cleared around their block.
The Department of Natural Resources have zoned this property dark pink (dominant) by 2003 remnant endangered regional eco-system and dark orange (dominant) under the 2003 remnant of concern region eco-system and the EPA have identified the area as an essential habitat for a species of wildlife listed as endangered.
There is mains power along the front of the property. There is a school bus for children going to both the primary school situated locally and the high school located in Rosedale and the post is delivered 5 days a week. The road to the Deepwater National Park has recently been sprayed with bitumen which leaves only 6 km of dirt road to travel.
This property is located in Deepwater which is almost evenly placed between the two major cities of Bundaberg and Gladstone. It is approximately 120km to either city. It is a 15 minute drive to the shops at Baffle Creek and the Wartburg State School. Agnes Water is approximately 40 minutes drive to the north. Alternatively, you can access Agnes Water and 1770 if you have a 4WD, by driving approx. 30 kms through beautiful Deepwater National Park.
If you love the water, this property is ideally located. There are many waterways you can explore in Baffle Creek, all beautiful in different ways. The nearest boat ramp is only a 10 minute drive away. If walking the beach is your thing, Rules Beach and beautiful Wreck Rock Beach are both a 15 minute drive from here. Annual rates on the property are approximately $750 payable to the Miriam Vale Shire Council.
