Auction Location: Onsite: 3 Mark Street, New Farm

Offered to the market for the first time since 1890, 3 Mark Street 'Whroonga' presents one of New Farm's most significant landholdings, an 810sqm parcel with an exceptional 20-metre frontage and the rare potential for subdivision (STCA). Nestled in a quiet, tree-lined street just moments from the James Street precinct, this cherished residence has been held by the same family for five generations.

Steeped in local and political history, the property has strong ties to former Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen through familial lineage. Beyond its historical significance, the home offers an extraordinary opportunity for restoration, reinvention or redevelopment.

The existing character residence is a charming four-bedroom cottage with hallmark Queenslander features including a wide wrap-around verandah, timber floors, soaring ceilings and an established poinciana tree that has shaded generations. Set back on a level block with a grassed rear yard, it also includes a detached garage, garden sheds, and storied elements like an original outhouse and cast-iron front fencing.

Offering the flexibility to renovate the property comes with renders by acclaimed architects Hogg & Lamb for a five-bedroom residence (subject to council approval), allowing you to create your dream home in this exceptional setting.

Buyers seeking an even larger canvas may also secure the neighbouring property at 1 Mark Street, which comes with approved demolition plans, expanding the combined frontage to a remarkable 32 metres (subject to a seperate independent negotiation).

This is a once-in-a-century opportunity to secure a premier slice of New Farm's tightly held heartland, where architectural prestige and lifestyle amenity converge.

• 810sqm allotment with 20.2m frontage
• Heritage Queenslander c.1890, first time offered in 135 years
