There are family homes, and then there are places that quietly become the heart of a family's story. 'Swan Landing' is one of them. Set on a private 2,330sqm allotment in a peaceful Southside street and backing onto open green space, this much-loved residence reveals itself through lush tropical and native gardens, where every path leads somewhere worth lingering and every arrival feels like coming home.
Built in 1995 by McCollum Homes and thoughtfully refreshed with genuine care, the home pairs solid brick and tile construction with a bright, contemporary finish. Recent updates have been considered at every turn, from new flooring (2024) and fresh interior paintwork (2025 and 2026) to a restored roof, repainted exterior and a hardwood retaining wall, all completed in 2024. Feature brick walls and graceful arched openings lend warmth and character, while matte black fittings, soft garden light and a calming palette create interiors that feel both relaxed and refined.
Yet for all its charm, 'Swan Landing' is a home designed for everyday living. Garden outlooks grace the living spaces, sliding doors open to a 67sqm covered alfresco, and a flexible floorplan adapts easily as families grow and guests come and go. A formal lounge and a separate dining room framed by exposed brick offer quiet places to gather, while the kitchen, with its island sink, Westinghouse oven and cooktop, LG dishwasher and green subway tile splashback, flows seamlessly to the family room and out to the entertaining terrace.
Life here is defined by simple pleasures. Host long lunches and celebrations beneath the ceiling fans and festoon lights of the alfresco, spend afternoons by the 65,000L magnesium pool set within flagstone surrounds and swaying palms, or wander past the orchard and raised veggie and herb beds to the garden pavilion for a quiet morning coffee. For the collector, the tradie or the weekend hobbyist, a three-bay shed of approx. 9m x 10.4m with grassed drive access completes a lifestyle offering that is rare this close to town.
Four bedrooms and a separate study make up the accommodation, with the fourth bedroom currently set up as a generous walk-in pantry and storeroom. Positioned privately at the front of the home, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a modern built-in robe and an ensuite finished in matte black with a semi-framed shower and long vanity. A main bathroom with full-size bath, a separate WC and a laundry complete the layout.
Rarely does a home offer such space, serenity and freedom from rising living costs. A substantial 17kW solar system works alongside a 24kWh Sigenergy battery to capture the Queensland sun by day and power the home well into the night.
Southside Shopping Centre is close by for the weekly shop, St Patrick's College is within easy reach for the school run, and the Gympie Showgrounds and Hockey Club are only moments away for weekend sport and community events. Gympie Central and the CBD are a short drive, offering the best of both worlds: a private garden retreat with everything you need close at hand.
