Set high in one of Urraween's most tightly held, family-favourite pockets, Gundesen Drive is the kind of address locals quietly love: elevated for breezes and outlook, incredibly central for daily life and positioned right in the heart of Hervey Bay's medical, education and shopping hub. It is the sweet spot where you get "close to everything" without feeling like you live in the middle of everything.
From an elevated 875m² allotment with sea views, this substantial residence delivers the holy grail for busy families and multi-generational living: serious space, flexible zones, multiple entertaining options and a layout that adapts as life changes (teenagers, guests, grandparents, home office, pool room, the lot).
Picture it: mornings start with ocean air and a view, school drop-offs are quick and your commute to the hospital, uni or shops is genuinely easy. Afternoons are for pool time, weekend BBQs and "should we duck down the Esplanade?" moments. When whale season rolls around, you are living in one of Australia's most iconic whale-watching destinations, watching them dance and play from your serene location on the hill.
Urraween is Hervey Bay's convenience capital. You're close to the CBD, the beachside strip and the major services that make everyday life smoother (schools, hospitals, shopping, uni). The area is known for established homes, proud owners and that calm, elevated feel that simply lives well.
