Overview
Gardenvale Cottage, dating back to circa 1940, is an exceptional private sanctuary nestled on a notably large and completely flat 1754 square metre elevated block in Coes Creek. This restored original farmhouse combines the charm of period features such as hardwood timber floors, casement windows, high ceilings, decorative fretwork, and a bullnose verandah with the comfort of modern amenities.
The property offers well-proportioned living spaces suitable for family life, including four bedrooms and a study, a formal lounge equipped with a woodburning fireplace, and a contemporary kitchen and dining area that flow onto a wraparound covered deck. The deck provides elevated northerly views that encompass Mount Ninderry, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience.
Energy efficiency and comfort are bolstered by features including split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, quality stainless steel kitchen appliances, stone benches, a Velux skylight in the lounge and ensuite, reverse osmosis water filtration, a 6kW solar power system, and two stainless steel rainwater tanks.
A distinctive addition is a secondary structure affectionately known as "The Surf Shack," which integrates a carport, shed, workshop, storage room, and an air-conditioned studio or office space. This auxiliary building adds valuable flexibility, catering well to families, hobbyists, artisans, or those running a home business.
The expansive and thoughtfully landscaped garden supports an array of uses and interests, featuring a large lawn area ideal for a pool or outdoor play, mature Jacaranda trees, native and tropical gardens, fruit trees, vegetable patches, and even a chicken coop for free-range eggs. Cottage-style flowering plants attract wildlife like birds, butterflies, and bees, contributing to the property's peaceful ambiance.
Additional practical benefits include dual street access via two separate driveways, allowing independent entry to a potential second dwelling site, subject to council approval. The generally flat and well-configured block makes this opportunity particularly attractive for future development.
Located just a short drive from local shops, schools including St John's College and Nambour Christian College, hospitals, and town amenities with rail connections, and only 25 minutes from coastal beaches, this property offers serene country living without sacrificing convenience.
Steeped in history as the original homestead on a 16-acre farmland, Gardenvale Cottage blends preservation and modern functionality to create a character-rich, family-friendly residence set within a sanctuary-like environment.
