Named "Summerville" and marked by a plaque at its entrance, this extraordinary Fraser Island hardwood Queenslander was built in 1877 as the residence of Bundaberg's first elected mayor - relocated from George Street and now commanding 4,099m2 in the relaxed coastal community of Moore Park Beach, just 20 minutes north of Bundaberg.
Hand-milled tongue-and-groove walls, soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and a deep wrap-around verandah that catches the morning sun across established gardens and tranquil wetland outlooks - the character here cannot be replicated and the lifestyle cannot be overstated. 16 kilometres of pristine shoreline, turtle nesting grounds, the Kolan River mouth, a boat ramp delivering the Southern Great Barrier Reef in under an hour, and a tight-knit community with everything you need close at hand.
Some homes have a story. Very few have one like this.
For more than 15 years, Summerville has been lovingly stewarded by its current custodians - sympathetically restored throughout and most recently treated to a full external repaint, ensuring its heritage is not only preserved, but proudly carried forward. Step inside and discover:
Open-plan living, dining and kitchen positioned to the rear of the home, bathed in afternoon sun and flowing naturally through the galley kitchen and out to the verandah
Well-appointed galley kitchen with 6-burner gas stove, island breakfast bar, dishwasher and walk-in pantry - a practical and generous layout built for a home that loves to entertain
Air-conditioned main bedroom with direct access to a beautifully appointed 2-way bathroom featuring a claw-foot tub, oversized shower, and a discreetly partitioned toilet - a genuinely indulgent retreat
3 additional well-proportioned bedrooms, 2 with air-conditioning - versatile across a floor plan that suits families, couples, and those working from home equally well
Dedicated second lounge, library, or home office adjoining the main living area, with a guest powd
