Basic Cottage Renovation in the Beautiful South Burnett/Gympie Region. We need help rescuing our old workers cottage with some restumping, levelling and painting. We live in a beautiful part of the Gympie Region (on the boarder of the South and North Burnett regions), 1.5 hours to the Sunshine Coast and Rainbow Beach, 20 minutes for the South Burnett Wine region and only a few hours to Hervey Bay.
We are a family owned and operated Beef Cattle Property at Tansey west of Gympie. We are in need of someone with building expertise to help us restump and update our workers cottage. It is structurally sound, fully furnished with power, plumbing, kitchen and 2 bedrooms. It needs some updating to ensure it is around for many more years to house the next generations of our family on the property. We would love someone who is a builder current/retired or a handyman/carpenter with skills to restump and level the cottage.
We are flexible with timing but would love to have the cottage ready for Christmas 2025 and can provide accommodate for volunteer/s, meals, power and all required equipment and materials for the project. We are happy to have volunteers stay for timeframes that suit them, complete all or part of the renovation project and work just within their skill set.
JOB DETAILS:
Good Condition timber cottage with iron roof. It has a fully equipped kitchen, internal bathroom and toilet, loungeroom, small deck, outside small shed with toilet and shower. It is occupied intermittently at the moment and is fully furnished with power connected
Cottage needs some help:
- levelling and restumping
- remove old water tanks
- some repairs to decking
- internal and external painting
- general repairs to walls and windows and some areas I kitchen, once levelled (gaps caused by movement)
Accommodation can be provided in the cottage or there are many areas on the property for caravan or camper including lake views, creek side and higher up to catch the beautiful breezes. Tansey is a small town with few facilities and the closest towns with shops,schools and fuel are Goomeri (south) and Kilkivan (east) which are both 15mins drive.
Would love to chat more to anyone interested and we are willing to be flexible with timing, which part of the job you can help with, equipment provided etc to accommodate the right person/people.
