5252 Gillies Range Road, Atherton, Qld 4883

5252 Gillies Range Road, Atherton offers a rare combination of privacy, history and usable land just minutes from town. Set on just over 7 acres (2.86ha) in a Rural Residential 4000m2 precinct, the property enjoys highway frontage fully screened by established trees for complete privacy, opening onto mostly flat, usable land with just a small pocket of rainforest along the creek boundary as a reminder of the original landscape.

The original owner, a botanist, spent years planting a fruit orchard, a collection of cabinet timber species and a showcase of native Australian trees - creating a living collection that today's buyers rarely get the chance to inherit. A spring-fed creek runs through the property with a timber boardwalk and stepping stones to enjoy the serenity, while a defined walking track follows the boundary line giving you an opportunity to admire many of the trees the original owner planted decades ago.

The 3 bedroom double brick home has recently had upgrades including a brand new roof, renovated bathroom and tiled bedrooms and lounge. There is a separate guest sleep out and a spacious patio which provides a peaceful outlook. The house is surrounded by more than 2.5 acres of manicured lawn and there is plenty of storage for all the toys with an impressive 12 x 9m shed, a separate carport and a 3 bay carport at the rear.
