Coming to Market – 21 Acres with Extensive Improvements

12 Freshwater Court, Glenview. Sunshine Coast, Qld

8.75 ha or 21.62 acres of excellent rural land giving privacy, peaceful environment and excellent potential to utilise the existing improvements for your own particular use.

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the land has two zonings. Approximately one third is zoned rural residential giving subdivisional potential with the remainder zoned rural.

The property is an ex- aquacultural operation with aquaculture permits still active for 33 species to produce a maximum of 1000 metric tons of product per annum.  Most of the operational equipment has been removed however, the large infrastructure items remain such sheds, electricity, and dams. For those interested in aquaculture, the property has planning permits for staged production. Operational works permits for civil infrastructure and landscape works are current.

The property is a blank canvas, that would lend itself to many options from a rural enterprise, storage or just one’s own private rural retreat.

The current Council MCU is approved for three large buildings although only one – Shed No.1 has been built.  This is a large shed. It is 53.5m long x 33.2m wide with a 5.4 m x 5.2 m addition which would be ideal as an office. The shed has power, lights and an insulated roof. It has been cleared of fixed operational materials, leaving paved access paths and soil laydown areas. This shed lends itself to number of different uses, one being the storage of plant and equipment. On the western side of the shed there is a large (approximately 2,800 m²) level area that is ideal for expansion or outdoor storage.

At the rear of the main shed (Shed No 1), is shed No. 2 which is set on a large 10m x 26.5m concrete slab. The shed is 9m x 12 m, has power connected and is constructed from insulated panels with large galvanised iron beams.

Adjacent to this shed is a 50,000-litre water tank that has a pressure pump connected.

Shed No. 3, is a 6.2m x 6.2m galvanised shed with a concrete floor, power and a roller door. At one end is a skillion roof, giving an undercover area ideal for machinery storage such as a tractor.

Shed No. 4, is 9.2m x 6.2m galvanised iron with a roller door and it is set on a large 15.5m x 10m concrete slab.

Adjacent to this shed is a 6.0m x 4.0m concrete slab ideal for outdoor storage or a another shed.

The current owners also have an unconstructed shed on the property that they want to sell separately. This was originally purchased to form part of the aquaculture operation however it was never erected. The sheds dimensions are 60m x 22m x3.6m high plus a 12 m skillion roof along one side. (The owner advises that the shed can easily be made higher if needed). The galvanised steel for the shed includes the main columns, main trusses, struts, skillion columns and trusses. Also includes the roofing iron. Price $250,000

Power connection is one of the outstanding features to the property. Due to the operation power needs of the previous aquaculture industry the property is connected with three separate power lines. The first feeds the main shed and this is a high-capacity power supply of 315 KVA. The second line of a similar capacity runs to the dams that originally was used to drive the various pumps and although this has been disconnected it could easily be reinstated. The third supply runs to the house and other buildings.

On the north eastern part of the property is a 4-bedroom house with an inground pool. The house could be renovated or could even be demolished, and a new modern house constructed in its place.

Adjacent to the house is the 2-bedroom workers accommodation and separate 5m x 7.5m office building. 

A large open grassed area approx. 70 m x 75 m lies between the office and the sheds. This area would be ideal for further development. On the eastern side of the office is another large 100m x 50m grassed area. Again, this area could be utilised for a number different use.

As you would expect for an ex aquacultural operation there is excellent water available on the property. Dam No1 (80m x 50m) is a shallow dam and which could be filled in to give extra usable land. Dam No.2 has a “L” shape and is 100 m long and 90m wide in its widest point. This dam is the deepest of the three being approximately 6 meters deep. Dam No.3 is again a “L” shaped dam and is located on the southern and western boundary at the bottom of the property. This dam is about 140 meters long at its longest point and 100 meters wide at its widest point and approximately 3 meters deep. In addition to the dams the property has 2 operational bores with good water flows giving excellent water security.

Along the eastern boundary there were originally 10 crayfish ponds however today some have been joined up as one. Currently there are 8 ponds of which a number are dry.

 Location is excellent, being just off the Bruce highway (5-minute drive to Aussie World) giving easy access to either South or North along the MI.

Mooloolaba beach is only 21-minute drive away while Noosa Beach is a 46-minutes’ drive.

Brisbane International airport is only one hour drive while the Sunshine Coast airport with its daily southern capital city connections flights is just a 25-minute drive.

This is a one-off property that can’t be found anywhere else on the Sunshine Coast. The current improvements add real value to the property.  The future usages for the property will be quite varied from a continuation of an agricultural type business to those looking to create a private peaceful rural retreat. After 10 years the owners have now decided to sell so there is a genuine opportunity to acquire this property and utilise the current improvements for your own particular use.
