5 Koala Crescent, Gatton, Qld 4343

There are properties where the extras form a short list, and then there is 5 Koala Crescent – where almost every corner reveals another reason to make it yours. Set across a beautifully established 3,034m² allotment in Gatton's prestigious Koala Park Estate, this substantial property combines a quality-built family home, extraordinary shedding, extensive vehicle accommodation and one of the most impressive all-weather entertaining spaces you are likely to find.
Koala Park is known for its generous approximately 3,000m² allotments, quality homes and peaceful residential setting just four minutes from Gatton. Here, mature trees along the rear boundary, established palms and landscaped gardens create a wonderfully private atmosphere, with birdsong providing the soundtrack.
The home has benefited from an extensive range of recent improvements, including a new roof, fresh paint, new flooring, updated bathrooms, new lighting and ceiling fans. Solar, insulation and excellent water infrastructure further enhance the property's efficiency and everyday practicality. With Rural Residential zoning, the property may also offer scope for a home-based business or other compatible uses, subject to council approval (STCA). Whether you need serious workshop space, extensive vehicle accommodation, exceptional entertaining areas, flexibility for business pursuits, or simply the room to comfortably accommodate a large and busy family, this is an impressively versatile property with far more to offer than first meets the eye.
