Almost Four Acres of Bushland, Creek and Quiet, Ten Minutes from Town
Turn off Rammutt Road and the driveway carries you in beneath a canopy of native trees, past a permanent creek and a still, tea-coloured dam where the birds gather at dusk, until the house appears, low and welcoming, its wide brick verandah catching the morning light. This is the kind of property people picture when they talk about slowing down. Not a hobby farm, not a weekend escape, but a genuine family home on 3.83 acres where the only traffic is a family of wrens crossing the lawn.
It is a rare combination: real acreage privacy without giving up the convenience of town. Gympie's CBD is a ten minute drive away, the local primary school is a 700 metre walk, and Chatsworth Estate and the Gympie Showgrounds are both close at hand. Secluded, yet never isolated.
Built in 1990 by local builder Glen Brittain, the brick home offers 170 square metres of single-level living, oriented north so that both the house and its verandah drink in the sun and look out to the distant hills of Mt Corella. Bamboo flooring and warm exposed brick walls run through the open living areas, giving the home a settled, textural character that newer builds rarely have.
The floor plan is generous and considered. A separate sitting room offers a quiet retreat away from the main living zone, while the open-plan living and dining area, warmed by a ceiling fan and split-system air conditioning, flows out through sliding doors to the verandah beyond. The kitchen has been finished in soft sage cabinetry with warm timber benchtops, open shelving for everyday china, a Westinghouse electric oven and cooktop, and a breakfast bar for the mornings when nobody wants to sit at the table.
Four bedrooms sit apart from the living zone, each with a ceiling fan and its own view into the garden or the trees beyond. The primary suite was fitted with a new ensuite in 2021, and one of the additional bedrooms includes a built-in desk, ready for a home office or a teenager's study nook. The main bathroom was updated with a new shower in 2025 and pairs slate stone tiling with a deep soaking tub beneath a garden window, while a second, crisply modern bathroom and a separate toilet complete the home's practical, family-ready layout. A dedicated laundry and internal storage room round things out.
At three metres wide, the wraparound brick verandah is really a second living space. There is room here for a full outdoor dining setting under cover, a built-in barbecue nook, and quiet corners to simply watch the garden change with the seasons. Stone pathways wind between established garden beds, terracotta birdbaths and timber-sleeper retaining walls, all set beneath a stand of mature native trees that keep the whole property shaded and cool.
For anyone who has outgrown a double garage, the shedding here will feel like an upgrade in itself. A substantial four-bay shed, twelve metres by six, comes complete with its own bathroom, a covered patio, and glass sliding doors, making it just as suited to a home business, a teenager's retreat, a studio or serious workshop space as it is to storing vehicles and machinery. Three further garden sheds handle the everyday overflow, and the property is being offered with the ride-on mower, brushcutter and pumps included, so the hard work of establishing an acreage lifestyle has already been done.
Beyond the gardens, the block opens into native bushland threaded with informal bushwalking trails, running down to a permanent creek and a peaceful dam that draws native birdlife throughout the day. It is the kind of backdrop that turns an ordinary Sunday into something worth remembering, whether that means a walk down to the water, an afternoon spent gardening, or simply sitting on the verandah while the light changes over the hills.
Practically, the home runs on tank water backed by the permanent creek, a 3kW solar system, wireless NBN, and a septic system, with no gas connection required. Insulated ceilings, a steel roof and cavity brick construction keep the home comfortable through the seasons, and sensor lighting adds a layer of everyday security around the house and shed.
Properties like this, genuine acreage with a creek, a dam, established gardens and a shed built for living in, rarely sit on the market for long. Come and feel the quiet for yourself.
