51 Gordons Crossing Road West Joyner QLD 4500

Offered for sale for the first time in 56 years, this original cottage and a collection of sheds is a secret that we’re about to share…

Neatly nestled in a surprisingly usable allotment that’s set well back from the street, this is one of the last opportunities in this area to acquire an allotment of this size that’s so close to suburbia.

To find this hidden piece of paradise, it’s really quite easy…

Simply head along South Pine Road through Eaton’s Hill until you take the left into Old North Road at the top of the hill.

You’ll then follow it along until you reach the heart of Warner where you turn at the ‘Macca’s’ and into Samsonvale Road where you’ll follow this along before you turn right into Forgan Road.

Following Forgan Road along past the glorious edge of Lake Samsonvale and you’ll then turn right into Gordon’s Crossing Road West where number 51 is down on your right.

When you arrive, don’t expect the property to grab you as most of the homes down here are well set back from the street and tucked away behind a shield of abundant greenery – that’s one of the great attractions of this block!

Head down the natural ‘driveway’ and you’ll be blown away when the lush canopy of trees suddenly opens up into a picturesque paradise of flat open grassy areas.

Your mind will be racing with ideas of what you could do here as you head on over to the original cottage that’s the first of the many structures you’ll discover.

You’ll enter through the front door and immediately into the lounge room – a gorgeous place to sit and absorb the blissful serenity.

Meander a little further inside and you’ll arrive at the ‘eat in’ kitchen which is very original but perfectly functional.

By now, you’ll have noticed the vaulted ceiling as you discover two separate bedrooms off to your right, with one of these bedrooms opening to the original bathroom.

There’s also a sizable separate laundry and another separate room that could be utilised as a ‘mud room’ or perhaps even an office.

As you’d expect from a home of this age, there’s an old ‘outhouse’ or as we call it today, an external toilet.

Once you’ve inspected the home, you’ll move on to a series of sheds that are all quite rustic but serve their purpose well…

The first is a 10 x 4 metre offering that includes a tandem carport, the second is an 11 x 9 metre 4-bay shed whilst the third is a monstrous 19 x 10 metre offering where the original owner once built a huge boat by hand.

Beyond these sheds, there’s another small dwelling that consists of 2 rooms…perhaps a guest room if you decide to keep it this way.

If you follow the block back, you’ll be completely surprised with how far down it goes…

There’s a lower level of the block beyond the existing structures and a gorgeous creek down low and at the side…and no, there’s been no flooding issues here in the entire 56 years that the current owners have lived here!

You might even come across the secret ‘well’ if you’re wandering around down the back.

Of course, there’s an abundance of wildlife here that include kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, possums and an infinite amount of birdlife that call this area their home.

The possibilities here are endless…

Perhaps keep the current structures that can utilise as a ‘Granny flat’ and build the home of your dreams?

Maybe hold onto the land and watch your capital growth soar as there’s very few blocks of this size available nowadays.

Whilst it’s not possible under the current town plan - who knows? Maybe in years to come, you’ll be able to subdivide and profit?

One thing is for sure – acquiring a property like this one that’s so close to every possible amenity must be considered to be a smart move!

Apart from the short walk to the edge of Lake Samsonvale (and the picture perfect ‘Bullocky Rest’ where you can watch the sun set over the water).

Lake Samsonvale is a favourite for fishing, boating and relaxing by the water - as well as the nearby Conservation Park where walking trails, birdwatching and outdoor adventures await!

But that’s only the beginning…

You’re only minutes to the heart of Warner, minutes to Petrie, less than 10 minutes to the heart of Strathpine and less than 15 minutes to Samford Village.
