Romantic Queenslander - Outstanding Views

Created as a writer's retreat by a notable New Zealand film maker and positioned within a picturesque landscape unfolding with vistas to the Pacific Ocean. Surrounded by native bush and a pastoral setting of paddocks, this 1.72-hectare block offers privacy, amazing green space, sea views and a zen outlook. It even has its own bore.

Previously owned by the renowned Spencer family and affectionately known as the "Cottonwood Home", for over a century it welcomed generations of family. Relocated from the Panmure waterfront to rural Leigh, the home has since undergone a recent exemplary and sympathetic renovation in keeping with its era.

Available as a turn key opportunity as the vendors are moving offshore.
