UNDER CONTRACT Iconic 66 acre vacant land in Maleny - The Dairy Herd block

A truly unprecedented find on the gently rolling fertile paddocks that has made Maleny so celebrated and sought after. Adjoining the Mary Cairncross Reserve the land creates a stunning juxtaposition with the sweeping grass running right up against the tall remnant rainforest.

This size and quality of land never, ever, available again on the Eastern side of Maleny. This is a generational purchase for your family and an opportunity to build a historic home of your design.

Hewn from the forest in the 1930s to create a historic dairy and remarkably, still in the same family. This block was home to the dairy herd and there will never be a need for fertiliser with an average rainfall of 2000mm per year. More than sufficiently well watered with waterways and 3 small dams and an ideal location for a huge dam just for the visual from the house sites. There was a well dug on one of the higher points in the very early days, indicating good ground water. 100% of the land is usable and a good entry and roadway is in place. Several house sites vie for supremacy with more than one residence allowed subject to council regulations and approval. Views are largely of the block and properties on the next ridge line some 500 metres away.

This land cannot be subdivided and the real value is in maximising the site and land use. Rich red volcanic soils produce lush Kikuya in all seasons that support herd levels unthinkable west of the Great Divide. Majestic White Beech, White Cedar, Red Cedar, Crows Ash and other rainforest trees are sprinkled over the land along with some pines for timber and one extraordinary Moreton Bay Fig. There are seven fenced paddocks with split hardwood posts, all the work of the lost generation of dairymen and women who will continue to live next door on their 10 acre (small) block.

Maleny village offers dining, boutique shopping, historic Maleny Hotel, medical services, art and craft groups and so much more in an inviting community. At around 430 meters above sea level the temperatures are consistently cooler and it is less humid throughout summer. 919 Landsborough-Maleny Road also enjoys cooling sea breezes as it is on the edge of the eastern escarpment. Caloundra and the Coast beaches and waterways are just 25 minutes away.
