Coastal property with extensive family homestead

Acreage hinterland living within Torquay’s town boundary has now become a rarity since the council’s endorsement of the Distinctive Areas and Landscapes Program, which has now effectively locked up the town boundary.

With no more new land coming online, acreage lifestyle holdings on the edge of town are hot property.

Links Property has recently listed one of these hinterland havens at 35 Libra Lane, Torquay.

This property allows you to live the preferred rural lifestyle just minutes from Torquay’s pristine beaches on 2.23 acres (0.9ha) in the highly sought after Torquay Heights acreage precinct.

Embraced by the tranquility of its natural bush surrounds, the character-filled brick home has generous proportions with a semi-attached, self-contained studio for guests, teenage retreat or a great investment opportunity.

Links Property’s Suzy Jones said they are excited to represent the sale of 35 Libra Lane.

“We have cemented ourselves as the expert in this neighbourhood holding various estate records,” Ms Jones said.

“The property has a romance and a warm family feel and under the roof the offering is a huge four bedrooms in the main house and a further two more in the Airbnb.

“You have the option living as one or continue to separate the two offerings and drive an income stream from home.”

The home boasts a classic bullnose veranda and timber French windows along with three-meter ceilings and feature timber dado wall panelling.

Outside there is a wonderful 12 x 4 meter salt chlorinated mineral pool with electric heat pump along with an eight-seater gas heated spa.

Ambiance is assured with a wood fire with wood stack door plus second wood box fireplace.

The master bedroom has a walk in robe and ensuite and the spacious guest and family bedrooms all have built-in robes.

Ms Jones said the vendors have told them they always thought this would be their forever home, until they got bitten by the Queensland bug.

“They love that this home has been able to grow with their family and their dreams, and there is still so much opportunity for the place.

“Being at the end of the lane, the vendors really enjoyed the serenity, with the only noise being birds chirping.”

The self contained two-bedroom studio with choice for separate entry is perfect for teens, extended family, guests or rental income opportunity.

Being an easy bike ride to Torquay Coast Primary School and Lisieux Catholic Primary, this would make more the perfect family oasis.
