If you have been looking for a place where you can properly switch off, breathe out and feel like the rest of the world has dropped away, this one is something a bit special.

Set on 3.96ha, or around 9.8 acres, the property sits in a quiet cul-de-sac with only a small handful of similar-sized properties nearby. From the highest point on the block, the views are simply stunning, stretching out in a way that feels peaceful by day and almost magical at night. It has that rare feeling of being tucked away in your own private mountain retreat, while still being within reach of Mount Morgan and Rockhampton.

The fully off-grid weekender shed has been fitted out with far more warmth and personality than you might expect. Inside, timber-lined walls finished in lacquer, a beautifully handcrafted timber kitchen, and a hand-laid stone paved feature floor give the space a cosy cabin feel, with just a hint of Scandinavian mountain retreat about it.

The kitchen is tucked into its own alcove and offers heaps of cupboard and benchtop space, with the dining area sitting nearby. The open plan lounge gives you a comfortable central living space, while the bedroom area is a comfortable size, easily fitting a queen-size bed and snugly fitting a king-size.

It has a huge storage section with shelving lining the walls, giving you masses of storage without wasting space on one side of the shed. On the other side, next to the dining area, there is also a large walk-in wardrobe style space, with the laundry to one side and the walk-in shower room positioned off it. The front roller door has the ability to be converted into a more traditional screened opening, allowing you to bring in the breeze while keeping nature where it belongs.

One of the most beautiful features is the stone paved floor, reminiscent of an old flagstone path, leading to double doors that open right out to the large deck. It is a lovely way of bringing the outdoors and indoors together, with the timber and stone finishes giving the whole setup a warm, tucked away, cabin-in-the-hills feel.

The off-grid setup has also been thoughtfully considered. A couple of solar panels are connected to batteries, providing power on demand for LED lighting, fans throughout, the fridge, a built-in stereo system and additional power points. The solar also powers the fan for the composting toilet, helping keep it fresh and odour free, while solar powered security lights add another practical touch.

Water is well set up too, with the shed connected to a large rainwater tank, plus a smaller overflow tank. A pump sends water up the hill to a second large tank, allowing gravity to help provide water pressure back down to the shed.

Outside, there is a timber-framed double carport, a very modern composting dry toilet setup in its own outhouse, and a rather posh chook house for those wanting to add a bit of country living to the weekends.

Near the highest point of the block, there is a caravan under awning, giving guests their own little place to stay. It is a great spot for visitors who want to be close to nature without being quite so close that they wake up with a new bushland friend in their boots. The awning also provides extra roof catchment, helping add to the rainwater supply.

The caravan area is also one of the best places to sit back and take in the view. Whether it is just you, or a few friends gathered around, the outlook, clean air, peace and privacy are hard to beat.

This is not your standard weekender, and that is exactly why it works so well. It has character, clever off-grid infrastructure, beautiful natural materials, guest accommodation, water storage, usable outdoor spaces and views that make you stop and stay a while.

For buyers wanting a peaceful retreat, a nature escape, a weekend base or a place to slow down and reconnect with what actually matters, this property is well worth a look.

About Mount Morgan:

Mount Morgan is a historically significant town, once home to Australia’s largest gold mine. William Knox D'Arcy made his early fortune here at the Mount Morgan Gold Mine. He later used that fortune to help start BP Oil. Today, the town offers a peaceful lifestyle with excellent amenities, including, but not limited to, a full-service IGA grocery, with deli and butcher, a chemist, a hospital, a bakery, three doctors' practices, primary and secondary schools, a hardware store, pubs, restaurants, newsagents, and bowls clubs.

The stunning No. 7 Dam provides a recreation area with shaded playgrounds, facilities, and barbecue areas, where you can swim, kayak, and fish. The town also features a skate park, basketball facilities, a public swimming pool with a children's wading area, tons of undercover seating, and a large partially undercover pool. Most homes are only a 2- or 3-minute drive from the town's amenities and services.

Mount Morgan is less than 25 minutes to the Rockhampton roundabout, even closer to the Gracemere shopping centre, and only around 40 minutes to Rockhampton Regional Airport.
