Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Modern home situated on 7 acres in the Noosa Hinterland Biosphere, 5 minutes from the historic village of Pomona and 15 minutes from Lake Cootharaba.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Pomona is well served with gourmet cafes, art gallery, train station through to Brisbane. the longest surviving silent theatre The Majestic Theatre and a heritage listed pub. Within a 30 minute radius there are great beaches (Noosa and Sunrise with its world class restaurants), a Meadery, a winery with light lunches, the thriving town of Cooroy, the villages of Cooran and Kin Kin.
The best markets at Eumundi are 20 minutes away with only hand made and local products. Boreen Point at Lake Cootharba is a perfect spot for a swim or sail (15 minutes away).
