Eat your hearts out, fellow shed-dwellers!

[Jack E]

Cliff,

Some questions for your wife.
How much land?
Is there running water or dams, creek etc?
Are there good home sites on the land?
Is the land mostly cleared or wooded?

These are serious questions

Cheers, Jack

Oh, bugger, there goes the neighbourhood.
(Actually, I'm sure a sparky/fridgie and a doctor would be welcomed additions to the community)

We went for a look today.

The place is 7.5 Kms from Millaa Millaa on 2.5 acres.

It is on the top of a small hill with views in all directions.

There is no creek or dam but it has close to 1700M² of roof area feeding into 2 tanks, one of them is huge, the other is the same size as the one we have at home & it will last us 2 weeks between refills.
The property is in a very wet area so the tanks would always be getting topped up.

There is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house on the land almost totally surrounded by sheds & you can walk straight out of the house into the sheds without getting wet.
The original house would have been a 3 bedroom single bathroom house & the extra bedroom & bathroom have been added later.

The vacant ground is mixed trees & the ground around them has recently been 'tided up' with dozer.
If you removed some of the trees, there is room to build a new house.

The sheds are very big, not just big.... very big & they are mostly full.
There is a bit of room left in one of them (the vacant area is more than my whole shed space alone. )

The old bloke was making slab clocks & slab coffee tables.
The house has about 700 unfinished clocks in it.
There are more slabs of timber of all different sorts in the sheds that I could count in the hour that we were there.

It the sheds there is...
an old metalwork lathe (very big, condition unknown, he never used it)
a combo sander, disk belt job,cast iron
a very big belt sander, 3 or 4 meters long
a double bag dusty, connected to the belt sander
a 600mm (2ft) band saw (SQ600 is all I can see on it)
a 10'' Hyco tilting tablesaw, cast iron table, a bit rusty.
a 20" (? guess) tablesaw with a top that is about 6' x 4'
a Hafco woodlathe
a bench mounted pedistal drill
a circular saw (orange but not Triton)
an electric cement mixer
heaps of other bits & peices of woodworking gear, nothing collectable.
lots of paints & finishes.
lots of ladders & 3 very tall trestles.

He doesn't live in the house but says he checks on it once a week.

I took 98 photos, 2 were duds so I have 96 photos with a total of 239Mb of data.
Gina also took some photos & will have some of her pics loaded onto the web site.

Any body wanting more details can contact Gina via the real estate web site or myself via PM or E-mail.
(If you are serious, I can make a CD of the pics)

[Jack E]

Thanks for that Cliff.

Unfortunately, I am after about 50 to 100 acres, with hopefully a running creek.

I want to put our house in the middle of the land so I can't hear or see anyone else

You never know though, if it is still on the market in 6 to 8 months I may be interested. Just for the sheds, timber and machinery.

Sorry Mick, No Doctor or fridgy sparky just yet

Cheers, Jack

S'okay, not my neighbourhood, it's more than an hour's drive from me, so even Wild Dingo is welcome. (Just kidding Shane, you'd be welcome next door, well maybe a few doors down.)

Seems the trip was worth it As that other banana bender was wont to say a few years ago... IM EXCITED!!!!

Yer a bloody legend Cliff!! And Gina of course How was the old bloke? Good I trust... Seems you had a good yarn with him while Gina did her thing

Okay... now you could send then via cd... or you could get Mihovs imageresizer and sent them that way... eithers good for me

So the house is??????? you didnt say the condition mate? gonna let the pics do the talkin eh

Is it pretty mych located on the top of a rise? rather than at the bottom... oooohh buggar it I'll zap you a pm with the address

2.5 acres is okay by us since thats what were on at present... with trees and such its enough to keep someone pleasantly contented for years... and big blessing of having
NO bloody creek to flood us out... one question... there ISNT a railway track that runs along the property line is there?

As Ive said a move over there is a good option for us... so a good gander via a whole bunch of pics is definantly a good thing before we or rather I go roaring over the country to have a look... a few months away yet... but if the properties right then no reason why I cant just toddle over have a gander slap down a deposit and bobs yer uncle is there

An hour??? Mick... MA MA MATE!!! We'd be next door neighbors!! give yer a hoi over the fence when the beers cold or the barbiies bein arced up

Gina says to look at the web site under farms & rural at properties F470 & F471. Also look at F465 but it has a house on it.

[Cliff Rogers]

.. How was the old bloke? Good I trust... Seems you had a good yarn with him while Gina did her thing ....

Fine & fit, but his memory is not good. I took 98 pics, Gina did the talking.
She took 33 photos & we just looked at them & spotted a trailer & another lathe.

.....So the house is??????? you didnt say the condition mate? gonna let the pics do the talkin eh ....

I sent you a PM.

.. Is it pretty mych located on the top of a rise? ....

It is on the top of a small hill with views in all directions. I've taken pictures of the view from a couple of directions.

.. ... there ISNT a railway track that runs along the property line is there?....

Nope, miles from any railway. 57 Kms to Atherton or 66Kms to Innsifail where the railways are, also were the major supermarkets are.
There are several small towns closer with IGA, 5Star or Spar.

.. An hour??? Mick... MA MA MATE!!! We'd be next door neighbors!! ....

An hour.... in a big bloody hurry....
It is 112Kms from Kuranda to Millaa Millaa & Mick is a few Kms up a side road & this place is 7.5 Kms up a side road so it is every bit of an one & three quarter hours if you don't speed.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]
