If old-world charm, wide open spaces, and riverfront living are what you've been dreaming of, then you're going to love this one. Set on just over 42 fertile acres in the peaceful Scotchy Pocket district, this property is full of character, history, and good honest country comfort.
Originally the Gundiah Station Master's house, this beautiful old hardwood home has been given a new lease on life. It's been re-roofed, re-clad, and fully insulated, while still holding on to its historic charm. Step in from the huge undercover entertaining area – right beside the 9m x 4m saltwater pool – and you'll instantly feel at home.
The back of the house is all about space and warmth, with a long open kitchen, dining and lounge area running the full length. Solid timber features, Anderleigh slate floors, and a wood heater for winter evenings make it the perfect spot to put your feet up. There's also a spa bath in the main bathroom for a bit of luxury after a long day in the paddock.
Head up a few steps to the original part of the house where the sunshine dances off the Cypress Pine floors. One bedroom in the centre of the house, a formal lounge, and a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite give plenty of space for the family. Off the kitchen you'll find the laundry and another bedroom. Out front, the full-length veranda looks out over the property and down towards the Mary River.
Just a short stroll across the lawn is something special – the old Tamaree Station building, now a cosy self-contained cottage with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and its own living area. Perfect for visitors, teenagers, or even a farm stay setup.
There's plenty of room for your gear with a three-bay garage, a massive 15 by 12 metre machinery shed, a separate 6 by 6 workshop, and two big hay sheds. The working infrastructure includes a solid set of stockyards with a crush, ramp, and head bale, a stable area, and a pig or chook pen ready to go.
For the green thumbs, there's a massive green house that's been home to beautiful orchids or the perfect place to make your veggie garden while 65 Mango trees line the driveway – all on watering systems.
You've got a whopping 90,000 litres of rainwater storage, along with a 4 megalitre irrigation licence from the Mary River and riparian rights for stock and domestic use. A 5.5kW three-phase irrigation pump feeds underground mains across 90% of the property.
The land is rich and versatile. It's produced hay in the past and currently supports cattle grazing, but would suit horses, cropping, or whatever rural venture you've got in mind. Just five minutes to the local primary school and only 25 minutes from high school and major shopping in Gympie, it's peaceful country living without being too far from town.
286 Scotchy Pocket Road is more than just a home – it's a slice of history, a working farm, and a peaceful country escape all rolled into one.
