Federation residence on the Mary River, nestled in peace, privacy and a tropical garden paradise
High above the banks of the Mary River, one of the finest Federation residences on the Fraser Coast sits amongst a garden paradise. Part of Maryborough's rich history, this circa 1880s heritage haven is a rare find. Occupying a 3303 sqm allotment, with 44 linear meters of river frontage and meticulously manicured tropical greenery, it is a peaceful and private sanctuary mere minutes from the CBD.
Impeccably presented, it sprawls across a 425 square metre floor plan to feature five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a charming kitchen and multiple living and dining areas indoors and out. Traditional hardwood timber floors, silky oak interior doors, leadlight windows and 3.3m ceilings are a testament to timeless elegance, while the signature wide verandah is the perfect elevated spot to entertain or savour the glorious garden and river views.
Held by the same family for almost 45 years, this is a home for all seasons. It is where the magnificent grounds are in full song come spring and summers are spent enjoying woodfire pizzas and the pool. Or it is watching on from the wide wraparound verandah while kids play amongst the autumn leaves, and spending winters curled up indoors by the cosy wood fire.
Promising serenity without compromising on convenience, you can walk to parks, schools and even the CBD. Station Square Shopping Centre and Maryborough Public Hospital are a five minute drive, with this dynamic regional hub home to all necessary amenities. Alternatively, step back in time with a stroll along Wharf Street, where heritage-listed buildings line the riverbanks or be transported to your childhood, with the annual Mary Poppins Festival a firm town favourite. Travel is easy too, with Hervey Bay Airport 35 minutes away, or spend a day enjoying the beautiful beaches. Why not leave the car at home and arrive by boat, exploring the calm, turquoise waters of the Great Sandy Strait on your way?
Truly, this is a place you – and your future generations – will be proud to call home. To start the conversation, please contact Lynn Malone at +61 408 772 880 today.
