Private rainforest setting on 2.26 acres zoned residential in the higher density area of town 1.6km to the centre of Mary St (3mins) and 280m off Horseshoe Bend/Channon St. This home is situated in a high spot compared to most of Gympie township with the Gympie Hospital about level with the land. There’s a water course through the land which doesn’t flood because it’s simply a runoff watercourse which flows down hill to approx 2km away past Louisa and Musgrave Sts and Cullinane St to Iron St. There’s substantial bird life and the area is extremely quiet. The land has mature elms, camphor laurels, gum trees, mulberry trees, banana trees, palm trees, fig trees etc…
Underneath the house is mostly cemented and suited to a home handyman/workshop because there are numerous electrical outlets and light sockets illuminating under the house. There’s an original out house and large cement area ready for a big tank at the rear. The area directly around the house is fenced. There’s a children’s playhouse also at the rear. There are two local convenience stores in walking distance and a petrol station. You could have horses or goats or similar hobby farm animals on the block.
Neighbours include an individual who has lived next door for more than 60 years and another for more than 50 years. The stunning rainforest acreage with some love would easily transform to a magnificent garden setting and is already the envy of the neighbours. This property would suit retiree’s (surrounding homes predominantly similarly occupied) who want to have acreage and create beautiful gardens or for a hobby farm in town yet still be close to medical facilities and shopping amenities.
Alternatively, the property would suit developers. The existing 1920′s Queenslander which was extensively renovated and improved in the 1940′s and then again in the 1990′s could be subdivided and sold (the house is perfectly situated for subdividing off as it’s snug in the corner of the block). If you separate and sell the house you would still have over 2 acres of land to play with and build on. The house is bigger and better than the average Queenslander and has very high ceilings. 20 Garrick even with the watercourse could likely fit in excess of 20 townhouses. The land has rainforest features and thus is attractive to buyers or renters if you build and subdivide.
The home has been occupied by the same tenants for 2 years at $250 p/week. The owners are reluctantly selling to raise capital. They had intended to make the most of this amazing opportunity. Their loss is your future nest egg, capital growth and/or lifestyle.
