A Brisbane buyer secured what could be one of the most unique opportunities ever, buying a remarkable timber cabin In Mackay, North Queensland, under the hammer last Saturday (2nd June).
Hazledean, which is both the name of a small township just outside Mackay and the cabin itself, was marketed as a perfect getaway for either the adventurer or the romantic, and the new owner is giving everyone the opportunity to discover the property.
It will be managed by RE/MAX Results as an Airbnb-style getaway, with the added bonus of guests being able to ask for any number of hamper options when they book a two-night or more stay. RE/MAX Results can organise all kinds of indulgences from damper packs and romantic hampers to picnic baskets and more.
Set on five acres, the cabin, according to RE/MAX Results broker owner, Hayley Van de Ven, is as ‘cute as a button’.
The one-bedroom house is exceptionally well set up. It has electricity, hot and cold running water, a fire place, and a fully-functioning kitchen and bathroom. The property is fully fenced, with a dam only a stone’s throw away from the front door.
The new owner plans to make further improvements for the benefit of Hazledean guests.
Ms Van de Ven said a beautiful Mackay day saw a decent crowd at the onsite auction. There were four registered bidders and the property very quickly reached the $100,000 reserve, finally selling for $30,000 above.
“There are some terrific property buys up here in the Mackay region, and Hazledean’s buyer recognised the amazing value in the purchase.”
Ms Van de Ven says an adjoining property, also on the market, would make an ideal B&B, with three houses already on the site. Offers of over $360,000 are sought for this 3.5 acre property, which has a running creek and secret garden, sheds and containers onsite.
