3015 Maleny Kenilworth Road, Cambroon, Qld 4552

There is far more to this property than you can see from the road.

The further you travel into this almost 90-acre Cambroon holding, the more it reveals. Open grazing country gives way to stands of mature trees, elevated clearings with long-range district views, timbered slopes, seasonal gullies and areas of remnant rainforest, with established tracks winding through much of the land and revealing distinctly different landscapes along the way.

Held by the Braden family across three generations, this is a property that has evolved with the people who have called it home, while still carrying the traces of a much longer rural history. Once a dairy farm, the old dairy remains near the existing sheds and a rustic stable building is another reminder of its working past. The original Queenslander farmhouse is surrounded by productive gardens and established infrastructure, while beyond it the land rises and changes, revealing the remarkable variety held within these almost 90 acres.

Following the internal tracks deeper into the holding reveals places that feel quite distinct from the country around the farmhouse. One of the most memorable is Jessie's Ridge, a high, open grassed clearing with expansive views across the surrounding ranges. The family has gathered here for significant celebrations over the years, with an established fire-pit creating a wonderful place to simply spend time and take in the view.

It is this diversity that lends itself to so many different interpretations. It could be a substantial private holding for a family wanting room to explore, ride, gather and enjoy the outdoors, with almost 90 acres providing an extraordinary backyard for horses, motorbikes and country pursuits. Equally, the combination of varied terrain, internal access, numerous beautiful settings and existing secondary accommodation may inspire ideas for nature-based stays, farm or equine stays or another tourism-related venture, subject of course to the relevant approvals.

The location adds another dimension. Set within the beautiful Mary Valley, with the Mary River winding through the surrounding landscape, Cambroon sits within an established nature and recreation destination, with Booloumba Creek and Falls, Fig Tree Walk and Yabba Creek Park all nearby, while the popular township of Kenilworth is approximately nine minutes away. Yabbaloumba Retreat and Kenilworth Homestead are also within the surrounding area, adding to a part of the hinterland already well known for weddings, weekends away, camping and outdoor experiences.

The farmhouse itself has retained much of its original Queenslander character while being updated over time to create generous, light-filled living spaces. High ceilings, polished hardwood timber floors and a mix of traditional casement windows and extensive louvres retain the home's character, alongside updated glazing throughout. The central living and dining areas form the heart of the home.

Here, wide bi-fold doors open the dining area directly onto the elevated front deck, framing views across the valley to the forested hills beyond. The country kitchen is a real highlight, with beautiful stone bench tops providing generous working space, extensive cabinetry, a large freestanding range cooker and a cleverly designed separate pantry. Thoughtful storage is another feature throughout the home, with considerably more than you might expect of a farmhouse of this era.

Three bedrooms are complemented by a separate study, with the generous main bedroom distinguished by timber-lined walls and exposed beams beneath a raked ceiling. Abundant windows bring in the surrounding landscape, while a private deck provides another place to take in the outlook. The two additional bedrooms retain the home's traditional character, while the renovated bathroom and over-sized laundry completes the accommodation.

Around the home, terraced vegetable gardens, established fruit and nut trees and a chook run speak to many years of practical, productive country living.

Set separately from the farmhouse, the one-bedroom cottage has its own interesting history. Originally a beekeeper's shed and later used for hay storage, it was subsequently converted to accommodation and today provides a kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom with laundry. Air-conditioning, a covered rear deck with pizza oven and its own carport add to its practicality, providing useful secondary accommodation independent of the main residence.

The long agricultural use is also evident in the collection of farm buildings and infrastructure across the holding. These include a 9m x 9m machinery shed with annex, an additional smaller shed and established cattle yards with handling facilities. A concrete driveway provides access from the secure gated entrance to the main group of improvements, while the property is fully fenced and has continued to support a modest level of grazing.

What stays with you here is the variety. Almost 90 acres that can feel open and expansive in one place, sheltered and immersed in nature in another, with a home, cottage and generations of rural history woven through it.

For those looking for more than conventional acreage, 3015 Maleny–Kenilworth Road offers the space and freedom to enjoy the land in a way that is entirely your own.
