A History Rich Estate on a Subdividable 2.47 Acres (STCA)

House - Monkland Qld

Historic Gympie homestead on 2.47 acres with remarkable character, established grounds, lovely views and rare future potential. This beautiful four bedroom homestead sits on 2.47 acres of well kept land and offers a compelling blend of history, space and opportunity. Built in 1897 during the Gold Rush era, the home reflects the confidence and scale of country estates of its time, carefully maintained and rich in original features.

Inside, the residence feels immediately welcoming, defined by generous proportions and quality craftsmanship. A grand central hallway runs from the front of the home through to the rear, framed by high ceilings, detailed timber work, horizontal regency boards and traditional arches. Hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by coloured glass windows and French doors that invite natural light and cooling breezes. Living and dining areas are spacious and comfortable, complemented by a beautifully renovated kitchen with a butler’s pantry. Four well sized bedrooms open from the main hall, including a very generous main bedroom with casement windows and built in timber cabinetry. A country inspired bathroom and separate toilet are centrally positioned yet privately set between the bedrooms.

Verandahs extend along three sides of the home, creating a range of outdoor living areas and outlooks across the surrounding landscape. An enclosed front verandah offers flexibility for guest accommodation, a home office or a quiet sitting room.

The grounds are a defining feature of the property. A new electric front gate, open lawns, mature trees and established gardens frame the home, while a fully fenced pine plantation provides privacy, a forest like setting and future income potential from millable timber. The land is naturally divided into three portions and offers clear subdivision potential subject to council approval. This includes the homestead and sheds, the pine plantation, and a separate parcel of vacant land extending across the railway with its own street frontage.

A collection of original outbuildings, all in good condition, supports both lifestyle and practicality. These include three former stables with three phase power, with two converted to a secure double lock up car accommodation. A newer shed 11m x7m has electric doors and provides secure car accomodation for an additional 4 cars, an old blacksmith’s workshop measures 5m x 9m, while a high set 8m x 5m shed with timber floors and front porch has previously been used for arts and crafts. A smaller powered shed with concrete floors sits alongside a separate cow bail and milking bay, and near the home the original washhouse remains in excellent condition with concrete floors.

Located just minutes from Gympie’s town centre, approximately 45 minutes to Noosa and around two hours to Brisbane, this is a property of substance and possibility. A genuinely special holding where history, land and future opportunity come together.
