Located in the upper Mary River Valley in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and hidden away on a 117-acre block, Bellbird Rise Off-Grid Cottage offers a unique and tranquil rural refuge.
This country sanctuary overlooks a pristine creek, that meanders through the front of the property, and can be heard from the cottage and its balconies. It is the perfect spot for a romantic peaceful retreat, or a getaway with friends & family, and provides a place to relax and reconnect with nature.
Arriving through the front gates, you ascend up the gravel driveway to the cottage which is perched upon the hill. Surrounded by bushland, agricultural fields, and overlooking the creek, the property feels secluded and sits comfortably in its beautiful natural setting.
The cottage is an old hunters lodge and has a rustic country feel while also including modern tasteful amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen which is integrated with dining, living, and balconies. The house features a mix of reclaimed wood and stone, as well as a cosy wood fireplace and sunken lounge for those winter nights.
Each day, the sunset lights up the horizon and can be viewed from the balcony and firepit area. This is also the ideal time to listen to all the birds, including the Glossy Black Cockatoo and Rosellas, come to roost in the the trees surrounding the cottage, and, if you are lucky, you may even spot the family of Tawny Frogmouths swooping down to the creek to catch their dinner.
