Bellemarie is a rural farm property nestled atop the ridge in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland at Bellthorpe. The property is 66 acres of rolling green hills and valleys - 36 acres cleared and 30 acres of rainforest and tallow wood forest just waiting to be explored. Accommodation consists of a 3-bedroom cottage – king bed master with large television and ensuite, and 2 queen rooms. There is a luxurious main bathroom complete with a large bath and a shower with a view (fitted with 2-way glass so you can see out, but noone can see in)! The toilet is separate from the main bathroom, and an additional toilet is located in the laundry. You will be able to enjoy your morning coffee sitting on one of two large decks either overlooking the rolling hills or gazing down towards the smaller of the dams on the property. If you like to cook then you will enjoy doing just that in this well-appointed farmhouse style kitchen sporting a chef’s oven and 6 burner gas cooktop with rangehood, a microwave, farm sinks, dishwasher, and modern appliances. Of course, if barbequing is more your style there is a 4-burner gas bbq located undercover on the back deck. Sink into the comfy leather lounge and wrap yourself in a soft blanket and spend the night binging your favourite sitcom on the 65 inch digital tv with access to several streaming services. Or if you prefer to switch off from the digital world, light the wood burning fireplace and play board games, card games or read a book. Of course, the comfy cowhide chair near the fireplace with it’s own footstool and side table make the perfect place to relax and enjoy a glass of red or white. There is an office space with full wifi connectivity to Starlink high speed internet for your laptop, should you absolutely have to log in to work to check your emails or attend a video meeting. Access is available to a front load washing machine, clothesline and drying racks should you need to do a quick load. If relaxing outdoors and stargazing is more your style (and there are stars aplenty in the Bellthorpe night sky) then the fire pit area is made just for you. Next to the back patio and overlooking the top dam it’s easy to sit and be mesmerised by the burning embers for hours on end. Bellemarie has plenty of beautiful flora and fauna, both wild and domestic -if you enjoy bird watching, you will be in heaven. There’s a chicken coop, and you are welcome to collect the eggs to cook your morning omelette if you wish. The coop has an automated door for the girls who love roaming about during the day, then put themselves back to bed at nighttime. Be aware though: they’re particularly friendly! You can also cut and use fresh herbs from the kitchen herb garden, and pick and enjoy the citrus, cherry guavas, peaches and macadamias when they’re in season. Don’t be surprised if Fudge, Oreo, Eva and Francis come over to the fence to say hello. They’re Bellemarie’s pet cows and love being spoiled by a hand feed. You might also get a visit from the local guinea fowl family and wild geese duo who, like the cows, enjoy being thrown a handful of oats as a treat. The cottage offers a double carport right off the front patio for easy access to the front door. If all this sounds like fun, then Bellemarie is the place for you. Whilst we fully understand that this sounds like the perfect setting to bring your furry friends to run around, we do not allow pets of any kind to be brought onto the property. Bellemarie is a Land For Wildlife registered space. ***Please note that guests do have use of the entire house, however only the master bedroom will be made available for use upon booking.
