13 Jarvis Court, Joyner, Qld 4500

If you’ve been searching for a home where the trees, the birds, the feeling of being close to nature and the opportunity for multiple dwellings are every bit as important as the home itself, this leafy Joyner retreat is a secret that we’re about to share…

Built in the early 1985 on a 6140 m2 allotment and bordering a picturesque nature reserve, this distinctive low-set home sits amongst an established garden that has been lovingly nurtured with sustainability and wildlife firmly in mind.

The owners once called this home “Jurassic Joyner’’…and if you choose to inspect, you’ll soon see why (and we won’t spoil it for you!)

There’s plenty of original character here…and whilst you might choose to update a few things along the way, the timber detail, soaring vaulted ceilings and beautiful green outlook give you a wonderful place to begin.

Nestled in a peaceful pocket of nature, Joyner is a semi-rural suburb known for its scenic surroundings, relaxed pace of life and strong sense of community.

It’s the kind of place where space, serenity and privacy come together, offering a welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle of nearby urban centres.

Whilst Joyner feels like a quiet countryside escape, it’s still within easy reach of neighbouring hubs like Warner, Strathpine and Petrie.

These suburbs are home to a wide range of amenities including shopping precincts, highly regarded schools and reliable public transport options, ensuring residents never feel too far from modern conveniences.

Nature lovers will appreciate Joyner’s proximity to Lake Samsonvale - 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!

Families have access to a selection of excellent schools in the surrounding area…

These options include the Strathpine West State School, Petrie State School, Petrie State High School, Genesis Christian College, North Pine Christian College, Holy Spirit Catholic Primary, St Paul's Anglican School, Mt Maria College Petrie and The Lakes College - diverse educational opportunities from primary through to secondary levels.

Commuting is straightforward with Petrie and Bray Park Train Stations providing direct links to Brisbane’s CBD, alongside several local bus services.

For drivers, Brisbane City is around 35 minutes away whilst the airport can be reached in approximately 30 minutes…ensuring longer journeys or frequent travel is a breeze!

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 left at the ‘Macca’s’ and into Samsonvale Road where you’ll follow this along for a couple of minutes before you turn right directly into Jarvis Court…and Number 13 is located at the very end of the peaceful cul-de-sac.

When you arrive, it’s the privacy and the leafy surrounds that will first capture your attention.

A pathway leads you to the front where you’ll take a moment on the expansive front patio and you’ll start to appreciate what makes this place so special…a home where sitting quietly and watching the birdlife might become your favourite part of the day.

Enter the front door and you’ll discover a formal lounge area that could also be used as a billiard/games room, whilst the built-in desk and shelving provide a handy spot for paperwork, hobbies or study - a welcoming space where the vaulted ceiling with a timber inlay, soft carpet and tall windows create a character that’s very much its’ own.

To the left of the entry is the lounge and dining area featuring the vaulted ceiling and plush carpet…

There’s a brick open fireplace for those cooler evenings, air-conditioning for the warmer months and a garden outlook that makes it easy to settle in and stay a while.

Meander a little further and you’ll find the gorgeous timber kitchen…an original offering with solid timber benchtops, a tiled splashback, pendant lighting, a built-in pantry and an appliance cupboard.

There’s also a wall oven and separate grill, a 900mm electric ceramic cooktop and a matching-width range hood – plenty to work with whilst you plan any future improvements.

When it’s time to retreat for the evening, you’ll discover three bedrooms off the hallway, each with double built-in robes.

The master bedroom includes air-conditioning, direct access outside and its’ own original ensuite with an open shower, timber-topped vanity, toilet and heat lamp.

Bedroom three also offers air-conditioning, whilst the main bathroom provides a separate shower and bath…and there’s a separate toilet nearby.

You’ll also appreciate the separate laundry with a timber countertop, sinks and direct access outside.

Additionally, there’s a double linen cupboard, broom cupboard and illuminated loft storage.

Wide doorways and ramps at the doors are thoughtful practical features, whilst security screens and doors add to the everyday functionality.

But as much as there is to discover inside, it’s the gardens that will keep drawing you back outdoors…

Step onto the rear veranda and take in a backyard that feels more like your own little rainforest retreat.

Walking paths wind through the established greenery, opening to grassy spaces, veggie gardens and quiet corners where you can pause and enjoy your surroundings.

The owners report around 100 species of trees and 87 bird species appear here…a lovely reflection of the care that has gone into creating this habitat.

For those with sustainability in mind, there’s an impressive collection of established fruit and nut trees that includes three mango trees, mulberry, lime, guava, macadamia, lychee, Brazilian cherry, orange, mandarin, grape fruit and star fruit.

There’s good soil to work with, room to tend your veggie patches and the satisfaction of picking something fresh from your own backyard.

A firepit area, an older gazebo, a brick barbecue, a chook shed and a small aviary add a few more points of interest as you wander around the very flat, usable grounds…a place where you’ll feel like you have your very own rainforest right in your backyard.

And if your idea of a perfect weekend involves a project in the shed, you’ll be pleased with what’s waiting here…

A large 6 x 9 metre double shed offers direct vehicle access, power, lighting, work benches and mezzanine storage racks.

There’s also a separate shed that has been converted into a room that’s complete with tiled flooring, insulated walls and roof and a small front annexe – a flexible space to explore for hobbies or other uses.

A double carport and a separate single carport at the rear compliment the shed parking, giving you options for vehicles, tools and equipment.

The practical extras continue with town water, two 6000 litre rainwater tanks and a pump, including a 5000-litre tank adjoining the double carport.

Solar power and solar hot water support the owners’ approach to sustainability, whilst a generator provides an option for power outages.

Perhaps you’ll keep the home’s original character and simply refresh the finishes over time…or perhaps you’ll bring a new vision to the interiors whilst preserving the trees and wildlife that make this property so special.

There may also be scope to investigate a future granny flat or caravan accommodation, of course subject to Council requirements and all necessary approvals.

One thing is for sure – if you’re looking for a leafy place to put down roots, enjoy the outdoors and make something your own, this is a property that deserves a closer look.
