For sale at at offers over $749,000, the two-bathroom, two-car house sits on 768sq m in a very handy location.

“It was a new build in 2025, and provides a versatile layout ideal for families, downsizers, or investors alike.’’

Johnathon is receiving interest on the property from the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast but mostly local.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s street appeal is evident, he said, with a pebblecrete driveway, manicured lawns, and beautifully established gardens setting the tone.

Inside, the home is filled with natural light and complemented by modern finishes throughout.

The main bedroom suite is positioned at the front and features a walk-in robe as well as private ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are all good sized, with built-in robes and ceiling fans.

A spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area has been designed for both comfort and practicality.

The contemporary kitchen is well-equipped with stone benchtops, a walk-in pantry, electric cooktop and oven, dishwasher, and sleek cabinetry.

The adjoining living space is complete with split-system air-conditioning, and the area opens out to the covered alfresco area.

This outdoor space is just as impressive, with quality concrete retaining walls, established gardens, and a private, fully usable yard. There’s even a designated fire pit area, along with plenty of room for pets or children to play.

Additional features include a double automatic lock-up garage with internal access, a well-positioned laundry leading directly to the clothesline, and ample storage throughout the home.

This location is minutes from town and within easy walking distance to local schools.

The layout is functional, with three well-sized bedrooms, all fitted with built-in robes and ceiling fans, and a centrally located bathroom.

A second living or family area provides additional space as well as offering flexibility to be converted into a potential fourth bedroom.

Stepping outside, the home is surrounded by a fenced house yard, while the expansive 2ha block provides privacy and plenty of usable land.

For sale at offers over $800,000, the appeal is the location, and the house itself.

“This property will suit so many people,’’ Stephen said. “The size of land and how the house is set out – there is even a chairlift for the internal stairs.’’

Handy to Gympie State High School and the regional swimming pool, One Mile Primary School and sporting arenas.

The elevated Queensland-style house has rural views and is enclosed downstairs with Besser brick, featuring concreted floor, shower and toilet with the laundry.

Upstairs, there is timber-look flooring in the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen with pantry.

A sunroom at the back looks to the Gympie High School farm.

“This beautifully renovated home has a sense of space, comfort, and possibility.

“Thoughtfully updated, it has been designed for easy living while still offering room to grow, entertain, and enjoy the surroundings.’’

The good-sized bedrooms each come complete with air-conditioning – two of the bedrooms have ceiling fans as well.

An open-plan living and kitchen area brings everyone together. This inviting space flows into the sunroom.

The grounds are easy to maintain yet offer plenty of space. It’s a location that combines everyday convenience with a strong sense of community.
