Overview
Situated on an expansive 27-acre rural parcel at the base of Mount Bauple National Park, this charming property marries historic Queenslander charm with modern rural living conveniences. The high-set 1920s residence has been meticulously renovated to preserve key authentic features such as soaring ceilings, vertical joint (VJ) walls, and polished timber floorboards, while introducing a spacious timber kitchen outfitted with a new freestanding Westinghouse 5-burner gas cooktop and electric oven. This thoughtful blend ensures comfortable everyday functionality with ample room to entertain.
With an elevated position, the home offers captivating views across Mount Bauple, surrounding farmland, and even distant glimpses toward the Fraser Coast. The open living and dining zone benefits from a cozy fireplace and reverse-cycle air conditioning, creating year-round comfort. The bathroom features a generously proportioned walk-in double shower, and the home’s wrap-around verandah, spanning three sides, extends the living space outdoors, perfect for appreciating the tranquil rural panorama.
Below the main living area, a fully self-contained studio provides significant versatility, suitable for visiting family, extended guests, or potential short-term rental income. It includes its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and tiled flooring, ensuring privacy and convenience.
The grounds are well-appointed for rural lifestyle pursuits. Infrastructure includes three 5,000-gallon rainwater tanks and 3-phase power, supplemented by a cleared shed pad ready for development. The securely fenced orchard showcases a variety of fruit trees and grapevines, and there is an original chook house with a spacious run. Additional outdoor features include an enclosed dog yard, a dam, and areas of natural bushland with walking tracks, attracting native wildlife and birdlife that enhance the peaceful setting.
Privacy is key to this property’s appeal, combined with accessibility to nearby amenities just minutes away from Tiaro, Maryborough, and Gympie, and within reasonable drives to Hervey Bay and Noosa.
