Hidden away behind established gardens along Mackay–Eungella Road, this charming old cottage offers a rare opportunity to secure a character-filled home brimming with potential. Set on a generous 1,260m² block and backing onto the tranquil Pioneer River, this property is perfect for those with vision, ready to restore and enhance its timeless appeal.
Stepping inside, you’re welcomed by classic features that capture the essence of a queenslander cottage—VJ panelling, original fretwork, high ceilings, and a beautiful original glass sliding window feature in the lounge room. While the home would benefit from some TLC, key updates have already begun, including new floating flooring through much of the residence, giving you a head start on your renovation journey.
The flexible split-level layout offers four bedrooms, three complete with air conditioning and ceiling fans, and a fourth with a fan. The entry area itself provides added versatility, easily doubling as a small office complete with a connecting door through to the master bedroom. Downstairs, two bedrooms with separate side access and their own small entry area create the perfect “children’s retreat” or potential guest zone.
The original kitchen offers a blank canvas for future improvement, while the spacious laundry flows seamlessly out to a covered concrete patio, ideal for relaxed outdoor living. Surrounding the home, established gardens provide privacy and a peaceful, hidden feel.
Additional features include three water tanks, a handy outdoor shed suitable for storage, and charming metal awnings that enhance the home’s character.
Conveniently located just 6 minutes from Marian town centre and 22 minutes to Mackay CBD, with Marian State School only 3.4 km away and Mirani State High School 13.5 km, this property combines lifestyle, location, and opportunity.
Whether you’re looking to renovate, invest, or create your dream home by the river, this hidden gem is ready to shine once more.
