Description: Set against a backdrop of rolling greenery and whisper-quiet surrounds, 9 Evanita Drive, Gilston is a rare offering where heritage charm meets modern acreage living. Originally known as "Somerset Cottage" and dating back to the 1800s, this beautifully preserved Queenslander tells a story few properties can - one of craftsmanship, character and a deep connection to the land.
Positioned on an immaculate 8,001m² parcel, the property unfolds with space, privacy and endless opportunity. A huge, perfectly flat grassed pad sits proudly upon the block - a dream playground for children or grandchildren until the sun sets, while equally lending itself to a future shed, horse arena, granny flat (STCA) or simply wide-open breathing space rarely found in this day and age.
The home itself is rich with soul. Genuine timber floors flow throughout, complemented by 4m high ceilings, generous living and bedroom proportions and an inviting sunroom that captures natural light and leafy outlooks. At the heart of the home, a wood-burning fireplace creates warmth and ambience, while wrap-around verandahs invite morning coffees, long lunches and golden-hour poolside entertaining in true Queenslander style.
Modern upgrades have been thoughtfully executed without compromising the home's integrity. The brand-new kitchen is finished to a high standard, offering contemporary functionality within a timeless setting. Split-system air-conditioning throughout ensures year-round comfort, while outside, a sparkling pool and picturesque dam complete the lifestyle picture.
Practicality is equally impressive with a 8m x 6m double garage plus four additional car spaces under shade sail parking, ideal for boats, caravans or visiting family.
Peaceful, private and utterly charming, this is a property that invites you to slow down, spread out and create memories for generations to come - all within easy reach of the Gold Coast's key amenities.
Acreage living with history, heart and horizon.
