This elegant, highset 100-year-old quintessential Queenslander is an exceedingly rare find, featuring VJs both inside and out. A light-filled home, its deep wraparound verandas enjoy lovely cool breezes in summer and are warm and sunny in winter; the family will be out there almost all the time enjoying the wonderful views of the surrounding hinterland.
Resting on a glorious, fully fenced parklike ý acre block in the heart of the delightful village of Kandanga, Kandanga House exudes all the charm and grace that make this style of home so timelessly sought-after and adored, and its street appeal is outstanding!
This is not a converted workers cottage or weatherboard house, rather a grand old lady that has stood proudly in the beautiful Mary Valley for a long time, glowing with irresistible character and charm. Exceptionally well built and meticulously maintained, Kandanga House really holds its own with genuine authenticity when compared to many of the originals… a testament to the vision and passion of its first owner.
Featuring a new Colourbond roof, plumbing, electricity, and choice of town water or tank, you will fall in love with the rare feature decking that frames the views into the hinterland. Boasting a perfect northern aspect at the front, the residence comprises three bedrooms, one bathroom, two toilets, formal lounge, modern kitchen, separate dining, large rear deck overlooking grounds and beyond, plus laundry area and masses of storage under. All the rooms are generously sized and the wide hoop pine floors replicate the resplendence and pay tribute to the magnificence of Queenslander style homes.
High ceilings, VJ walls, casement windows, French doors to veranda, decorative fretwork, servery to deck from kitchen, gas cooktop, split system air-conditioning in living, ceiling fans, veranda access from both bedrooms plus living, roll down café style blinds on western side of deck, rainwater tank, and a cute white picket fence; are all features of note. On those perfect Queensland nights, you can even sleep with the mosquito-proof veranda doors wide open from both bedrooms for natural ventilation.
This is an ideal home for a growing family, with lots of room for children to play, space for a pool (if desired) and/or a shed, and a school located just around the corner. Perfect also for those looking for a treechange, an escape from big city noise, and a blank canvas on which to build their dream space.
For those who wish to work from home, the third bedroom has its own separate entrance and an entire wall of windows providing relaxing and inspirational views; an ideal location for self-employed professionals such as physios, acupuncturists, therapists – or perhaps even a bed and breakfast!
For real estate investors, subject to council approval, the block could be split, a second dwelling built, or the space under the house ‘built-in’ to create more space. It is a terrific size yard for a game of croquet, bocce bowls, cricket, or footy; and other than a regular mow to keep it looking neat and tidy, it is low maintenance.
From here all the village amenities are within walking distance including primary school, tennis courts, pool, parks, pub, country club, post office, general store, and cafes. Imbil is less than 10 minutes’ drive, Gympie with its full suite of major amenities is approximately 20 minutes, Cooroy is 25 minutes, Eumundi 30 minutes, and you can be on Noosa Main Beach or the airport within 45 minutes. The Sunshine Coast is your playground.
Aficionados of Queenslander homes will be suitably impressed, and if it’s time to embrace a quieter, gentler pace of life in a friendly, welcoming community…your new life in the verdant, picturesque Mary Valley awaits.
All it needs is your finishing touch to make it your own.
