The unique property is perfect for those who are after a low-maintenance lifestyle, or want something temporary while they build their dream home.

Located on an elevated block, three architecturally-designed, 20-foot containers offer picturesque mountain views.

The industrial-style kitchen with timber benchtops can be found in container one, and the bedrooms take up residence in the second and third containers.

Bedrooms are moderately sized and equipped with air conditioners to ensure ideal temperatures, year-round.

A bathroom is located in between containers two and three, and the shed also offers a toilet and sink.

Those with entertaining in mind will enjoy the picturesque patio, and a short 25-minute drive will lead those wanting a change of scenery to the idyllic Mission Beach.

And in Gowan, 45km from Bathurst in NSW, is 4172 Freemantle Road – a shipping container property for sale known as “Soft Edges”.

The converted container is marketed (by agent Michael Lund of Masters Stephens Real Estate in Bathurst) as the “ideal base camp” for horse riders and bush walkers, or a basic weekender.

The home, sitting high on a hill and overlooking the valley, has a veranda, a small kitchen and a bed squeezed in.

What it lacks in floor space it makes up for with sensational vistas that seem to roll on forever. The new owner will acquire a land parcel of 113 hectares.

The asking price is $450,000 to $490,000.
