Truly, how’s the serenity?

BONNIE Doon is simply one of the best land holdings available near the Gold Coast today. This is fertile, rich dairy country, rising from the permanent flow of the Nerang river flats through Kikuyu country that is as soft as butter through to stunning ancient rainforest.

Nestled in the Numinbah Valley, the rectangula­r shaped block is split by the Nerang-Murwillumb­ah Rd with Lamington National Park on one side and Springbroo­k National Park on the other.

Both sides of the road have spectacula­r views looking up and down the valley and through to Mount Warning and the border ranges along with Shipstern and Egg Rock.

The majority of the property is cleared improved pastures of kikuyu, rhodes and clovers. The soils in the elevated areas are rich, red and volcanic. The creek flats are darker alluvial soils.

At the western edge, the property has about 40 hectares of stunning virgin rainforest country that bounds Lamington National Park. Along with tall strangler figs

and pines are an abundance of unique timbers to the region.

At 173 hectares, this is one of the largest productive holdings near the Gold Coast. The beaches are only a short drive and the school bus to the Gold Coast private and public schools arrives at the gate.

Numinbah also has a primary school within walking distance.

Bonnie Doon has extensive double frontage to the Nerang River, along with spring-fed dams and a 5000-gallon header tank, which feeds back to round water troughs throughout the property.

Large rock water holes in the river have been enjoyed over the years by kids and adults alike.
