Some properties are simply houses. Others have a feeling about them - a sense of peace, character and belonging that is difficult to describe until you experience it.

Tucked away in the quaint mountain village of Jimna, this charming cottage is one of those rare properties.

Here is your opportunity to own a piece of history - this lovely home is one of just sixteen original buildings relocated from Monsildale to establish the township of Jimna in 1922 and was once home to the town's founding business owners.

Set on a gently sloping 1,034sqm allotment, the home enjoys the peaceful atmosphere Jimna is known for, surrounded by mountains, native bushland and an abundance of birdlife and wildlife. At around 500 metres above sea level, Jimna offers a cooler, fresher mountain climate and a wonderfully unhurried pace of life whilst offering excellent mobile phone reception and sealed road access.

The cottage itself has retained plenty of its original charm, with a solid hardwood structure, traditional board exterior, original casement windows, solid galvanised steel posts and a Zincalume roof. Inside, soaring pitched ceilings and exposed timber beams add to the rustic character, while the cosy wood heater creates the perfect atmosphere on cool winter evenings.

Currently configured as a two-bedroom home, there is also a sleepout, charming office nook/reading room and flexible additional spaces that could be adapted to suit your needs. Whether it's a home office, creative studio, guest space, library or simply somewhere to escape with a good book, there are plenty of possibilities.

The traditional downstairs laundry/washhouse adds another touch of country character, while the home has the practical comforts already taken care of, including town water, mains power, updated electrical and plumbing, compliant smoke alarms, solar hot water and a 900mm freestanding gas stove with electric oven.

The bathroom continues the relaxed country theme, featuring a shower over bath - perfect for a long soak after a day exploring the surrounding bushland.

Step outside and the lifestyle really begins.

The gardens have been thoughtfully established with low-maintenance, drought-hardy plantings, privacy screens, native shrubs and flowering trees, creating a leafy private setting while attracting an abundance of insects, birds and other wildlife. A selection of established fruit trees adds to the appeal and provides the foundations for a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

There is room for a vegetable garden, chickens, additional shedding or other outdoor projects, while the gently sloping land provides excellent natural drainage and benefits from the fertile mountain soils.

The property also offers exciting possibilities for the future, subject to the necessary approvals. There is potential to extend the existing home, utilise the space beneath, add a shed and create side access, while rear access via the adjoining lane may also be achievable.

A front porch provides the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by, while the rear patio overlooks the spacious backyard - an ideal setting for a morning coffee, afternoon drink or simply listening to the birds.

And then there is Jimna itself.

Originally established as a timber-getters' village, Jimna has a fascinating history and once supported a general store, public school and a much larger community than exists today. These days, with a permanent population of only around 70 people and many properties used as weekenders or holiday homes, the village has an incredibly peaceful and close-knit character.

For those looking to escape the noise and congestion of modern life, the location offers something increasingly difficult to find - space, quiet, clean mountain air and genuine connection with nature.

There are walking and riding trails nearby, national parks, camping areas and beautiful mountain streams where you can cool off on warmer days. The surrounding State Forest stretches for thousands of acres, providing endless opportunities to explore.

Kilcoy is the nearest major service centre for shopping, schools and employment, while the area is also connected by a number of scenic routes. Travel via Sunday Creek and you can head towards Kenilworth, while Murgon and Goomeri are accessible in the opposite direction.

Brisbane is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes away, yet it feels a world away.

And perhaps that's the real attraction.

This is the sort of home where you can imagine putting your phone down, lighting the fire, opening a book and settling into an armchair while the birds sing outside.

A place for writers, artists, nature lovers, weekenders, romantics and anyone who has ever dreamed of a simpler life.

Offered fully furnished and exceptionally hard to replicate, properties like this rarely come to market in Jimna. Many of the village's original homes have remained within families for generations.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to own a little piece of a quiet Queensland mountain village, this could be your opportunity.

Come and experience Jimna for yourself. You may find it's the kind of place you buy - and never want to leave.
