Named "Summerville" and marked by a plaque at its entrance, this extraordinary Fraser Island hardwood Queenslander was built in 1877 as the residence of Bundaberg's first elected mayor - relocated from George Street and now commanding 4,099m² in the relaxed coastal community of Moore Park Beach, just 20 minutes north of Bundaberg.

Hand-milled tongue-and-groove walls, soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and a deep wrap-around verandah that catches the morning sun across established gardens and tranquil wetland outlooks - the character here cannot be replicated and the lifestyle cannot be overstated. 16 kilometres of pristine shoreline, turtle nesting grounds, the Kolan River mouth, a boat ramp delivering the Southern Great Barrier Reef in under an hour, and a tight-knit community with everything you need close at hand.

Some homes have a story. Very few have one like this.
For more than 15 years, Summerville has been lovingly stewarded by its current custodians - sympathetically restored throughout and most recently treated to a full external repaint, ensuring its heritage is not only preserved, but proudly carried forward. Step inside and discover:


- Open-plan living, dining and kitchen positioned to the rear of the home, bathed in afternoon sun and flowing naturally through the galley kitchen and out to the verandah

- Well-appointed galley kitchen with 6-burner gas stove, island breakfast bar, dishwasher and walk-in pantry - a practical and generous layout built for a home that loves to entertain

- Air-conditioned main bedroom with direct access to a beautifully appointed 2-way bathroom featuring a claw-foot tub, oversized shower, and a discreetly partitioned toilet - a genuinely indulgent retreat

- 3 additional well-proportioned bedrooms, 2 with air-conditioning - versatile across a floor plan that suits families, couples, and those working from home equally well

- Dedicated second lounge, library, or home office adjoining the main living area, with a guest powder room - a flexible and quietly removed space that adapts to whatever you need it to be

- Deep 3/4 wrap-around verandah linking every room to the outdoors, catching the morning sun across the front and framing established gardens and natural wetland surrounds - the kind of space that becomes the heart of daily life from sunrise to sundown

- 10 x 3.5m in-ground mineral pool, fully fenced and positioned just off the deck, with the downstairs bathroom conveniently set nearby for effortless poolside living
Tranquil wetland outlook to the rear of the block, lending a peaceful, semi-rural feel that's increasingly rare so close to the coast

- Fully concreted under-house level with laundry, second bathroom (shower and toilet), secure parking for multiple vehicles, and abundant storage for boards, kayaks, and everything a coastal lifestyle demands

- Powered 15 x 9m high-clearance shed with concrete floor and 3 x 3.3m clearance doors - exceptional capacity for boats, caravans, a workshop, or serious storage needs

- Grid-connected solar, 2 x 10,000 litre rainwater tanks plus 5,000 litre tank off the shed, and full perimeter fencing - a self-sufficient, well-secured holding on a flat 4,099m² allotment

- Established gardens framing the front of the block, lending Summerville the kind of presence and arrival that only decades of growth can deliver


Built in 1877, named Summerville, and carrying the legacy of Bundaberg's first elected mayor - 40 Kingfisher Crescent is a holding of genuine historical significance, irreplaceable character, and extraordinary lifestyle breadth on 4,099m² of flat coastal land, all within 20 minutes of Bundaberg.
