"Cougar". 2xBed, 2xEnsuite, Open Plan Houseboat. Just Listed

"Cougar" is a beautifully presented, custom-built 2011 pontoon houseboat offering spacious open-plan living, premium construction, and full off-grid capability. Designed for effortless river cruising and relaxed entertaining, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom vessel is superbly equipped and ready for immediate enjoyment.

The exterior features maintenance-free stainless-steel gates and handrails, hardwood planking, neatly concealed front waste points, and three large glass sliding door entrances positioned centrally, port, and starboard. The rear deck area provides an inviting space for entertaining while still preserving expansive interior living zones.

Inside, the open-plan living area feels bright and spacious, flowing seamlessly from helm to lounge. The comprehensive starboard helm is fitted with Yamaha instrumentation and controls, Hydrive Admiral series hydraulic steering, a Navman GPS, Hummingbird depth sounder, GME UHF radio, and a reverse-camera safety system. Opposite the helm sits a forward Futon sofa bed, ideal for river-view relaxation or accommodating extra guests. The large U-shaped kitchen offers excellent bench space, quality appliances, and generous storage including drawers, cupboards, pantry, and linen space. A central six-seater glass dining setting leads into the comfortable stern lounge with TV entertainment, all kept pleasant year-round by two Daikin inverter reverse-cycle air conditioners.

Accommodation includes two queen-size walk-around primary suites, each with glass sliding door access to the deck, ceiling fans, and built-in robes. Both ensuites are spacious and well appointed, with moulded glass-door showers, vanities with storage, and marine flushing toilets.

The rear deck provides access to the swim platform and also houses the boat's comprehensive electrical system. A storage room and separate laundry fitted with a Simpson 6Kg EZI washing machine add to the practicality of long-term stays.
