Welcome to the historic 'Stewart Holme' (circa 1894) - an extraordinary and tightly held Queenslander of rare significance. Offered to the market for only the second time in more than 120 years, this remarkable residence stands as a true testament to Gympie's rich heritage, and the wait has indeed been worth it.
Set high on a magnificent, near half-acre allotment, this authentic 497m² rambling Queenslander enjoys exceptional privacy, is fully fenced, and captures sweeping views across some of Gympie's most picturesque rolling countryside. Positioned within one of the town's most elegant and historically rich residential enclaves, the home is surrounded by reminders of the early gold rush era that shaped the region.
From the moment you enter through the front gate, Stewart Holme makes an immediate and lasting impression. Inside, soaring ceilings and a gracious central hallway introduce a series of beautifully proportioned living spaces, rich in character and timeless detail. The home offers five bedrooms, an office, three bathrooms and three expansive living areas, with French doors opening to wide verandahs that wrap around three sides of the residence.
Outdoor living is a defining feature. Whether dining beside the pool, overlooking the manicured gardens, or taking in the tranquil countryside views, every space is enhanced by gentle breezes and complete privacy. The guest retreat is exceptional, while the generous space beneath the home presents exciting possibilities - from workshop to additional living or storage.
The grounds continue the sense of heritage and lifestyle, featuring a shaded pool with gazebo and dressing shed, a charming storage bungalow, an impressive entertaining area with wood-fired BBQ and pizza oven, and a thriving aquaponics garden. Every element contributes to an atmosphere where the elegance of days gone by is beautifully preserved.
Originally built in 1894 for Charles and Elizabeth Stewart, the home remained in the same family until its first sale in 2001. Following storm damage in the 1980s, the roof was later restored to its original Queenslander form, and extensive renovations commenced in 2004 - respectfully reconfiguring living spaces, reinstating the front verandah, and rebuilding the garage to maintain the home's authentic style.
Now exquisitely renovated and meticulously maintained, Stewart Holme stands as one of Gympie's most admired Queenslanders - a residence of scale, beauty and enduring legacy.
Located just 1km from Gympie's town centre, with commercial premises also available nearby (by enquiry), this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a landmark home of exceptional stature.
