Overview

Situated on a substantial private 2.66-hectare allotment, this distinctive Queenslander captures the timeless appeal of classic timber craftsmanship blended with well-considered modern updates. Originally built in 1910 and relocated to its current rural setting one century later, the home offers a tranquil lifestyle while maintaining convenient access to Gladstone.

Characterised by soaring ceilings, warm hoop pine flooring, and tongue-and-groove walls, the residence spans two substantial levels. The upper floor serves as the heart of the home, featuring a spacious, naturally lit open-plan kitchen and living area with a fireplace that complements the cooler months. Culinary needs are well-served with an island breakfast bar, high-quality appliances, and a butler's pantry, providing both practicality and style.

The five air-conditioned bedrooms, including a master suite with a renovated walk-in robe and heated ensuite flooring, assure comfort and flexibility for family and guests. Additional living spaces downstairs include a separate lounge, a dedicated theatre room equipped with projector and speakers, and a guest bedroom with ensuite, all enhancing the home's versatility for relaxation and entertainment.

Outdoor living is elevated by a recently renovated poolside pavilion showcasing locally sourced timber, complete with a bar, outdoor kitchen, BBQ area, pizza oven, and an included pool table. This expansive entertaining zone harnesses the property's relaxed acreage lifestyle, perfect for hosting gatherings or unwinding in privacy.

Functionality extends to practical assets such as a powered four-bay shed with mezzanine storage suitable for hobbies or storage needs and a separate double garage accessed off a bitumen driveway. Extensive rainwater tanks, a security camera system, and a quarterly serviced septic system underpin the home's self-sufficiency.
