Imagine waking up to the gentle chirping of a hundred different birds as the first rays of the sun crest the horizon. Stepping outside to breathe in the crisp morning air, and gazing upon breathtaking views of rolling hills stretching as far as the eye can see. Wooded hills, bright blue days, the sounds of nature and the space to enjoy it all. For many, the acreage lifestyle ticks a lot of boxes. Here in the Noosa Hinterland there are a number of idyllic pockets of semi-rural areas that embody acreage living and Countryside Noosa Realty knows them all: From rural towns that give off ‘village-like’ vibes to semi-rural locations that seamlessly blend the conveniences of ‘town-life’ with an endearing country atmosphere.
At Countryside Realty Noosa, we’ve proudly helped hundreds of buyers and sellers navigate their way into the blissful life of acreage living. To help you get a better understanding of; what to look for, what to avoid and what to expect on your journey we’ve put together this guide.
Embracing the Allure of Acreage Living in the Noosa Hinterland:
The desire to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the serenity of wide-open spaces is nothing new. In fact, it even has its own nomenclature ‘tree change’. The allure comes from envisioning a simpler life more in touch with nature, cutting out the distractions and enjoying the ‘simpler-things’. While the dream can come true for many it comes with its own considerations. If you’re planning on making the shift here are some factors worth considering.
Location is Key: Carefully consider your proximity to essential services, amenities, and medical facilities. Think about travel times to work or appointments, especially if you plan to continue working full-time. Countryside Realty Noosa’s deep understanding of the Noosa Hinterland allows us to match you with the perfect location that meets your needs.
Finding the Right Fit: How much land do you realistically need and can manage? Consider your lifestyle goals and intended use for the property. The terrain, soil quality, and existing infrastructure (fencing, sheds, etc.) will also play a role in your decision. Our experienced agents can guide you through this process and ensure you find a property that complements your vision.
Navigating the Legalities: Purchasing acreage property can involve legalities and complexities. Things like easements, shared boundaries, zoning and more. Countryside Realty Noosa has the expertise to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience and can walk you through some of these complexities. We’ll familiarise you with council regulations regarding building on acreage land, including setbacks, zoning restrictions, and any permits required for construction or renovations.
Hidden Costs to Consider: As highlighted before, don’t forget to factor in potential upfront costs associated with building on acreage land. This may include extending power lines, installing septic systems, or upgrading access roads to ensure they are suitable for all weather conditions. Our team can help you anticipate these costs and ensure you’re making an informed decision.
Investment Potential with Lasting Value:
Looking back historically and making informed guesses about the future, acreage properties in the Noosa Hinterland area are a sound investment. Particularly as land becomes a more limited resource with population migration occurring in our region and set to increase over the next decade. The value of your property will appreciate over time, and with council approval, you may have the opportunity to subdivide or develop the land further.
