8 Esmaurel Close, Mapleton, Qld 4560

Few properties in the Sunshine Coast offer this combination — a signature Gabriel Poole pavilion home, 4.5 private acres, and sweeping views stretching across Flaxton to Maleny and Witta, and on clear days, all the way to the coast. Thoughtfully set back from the road and elevated to capture the full extent of the outlook, the property sits within a quiet, tightly held private estate just 2 kilometres from Mapleton village — a rare opportunity to secure a genuinely considered work of residential architecture in one of the region's most sought-after locations.

The Architecture:
Designed by one of Australia's most celebrated residential architects, the home showcases Gabriel Poole's signature pavilion philosophy — where natural light, cross ventilation and a seamless connection to the landscape are central to everyday living. Lightweight and climate-responsive, the design feels as though it belongs to its setting rather than sitting upon it. The central breezeway draws the eye to long-range district views, while the back deck delivers the full picture — a sweeping outlook that reaches across the hinterland and out to the coast.

Living & Accommodation:
The thoughtful layout divides across two pavilions, anchored by the central pod — a timber-lined breezeway framing the view beyond and guiding you instinctively toward the entertaining deck. The main living wing reveals a generous, light-filled space beneath high pitched ceilings, with rich timber floors and sliding glass doors that open directly to the jarrah deck — a seamless flow between inside and out that is quintessentially Poole. Beyond the doors, a generous entertainer's deck unfolds beneath a sweeping curved roofline, open to a truly panoramic hinterland outlook with the coast visible on the horizon on clear days. This is where the architecture truly comes alive. One pavilion holds the main living, dining, kitchen and master bedroom; the other, two guest bedrooms, guest bathroom and a generous laundry. Virtually every room enjoys a view, reinforcing the home's deep connection to the surrounding landscape. Substantial undercroft space offers genuine scope for future expansion — additional accommodation, a studio or workshop *STCA

The Land:
The gardens are a highlight in their own right. Meandering pathways lead through ornamental plantings, mature feature trees, structured hedging, productive vegetable gardens and a flourishing orchard. The home is thoughtfully set back from the road, ensuring a strong sense of privacy and retreat. The land immediately surrounding the residence is predominantly level and highly usable, gently falling away toward the view side of the property. A second lower flat area presents further potential for landscape development, while the balance of the acreage remains naturally treed — protecting both privacy and outlook for the long term.

Infrastructure:
Additional infrastructure includes a substantial shed with workshop space and accommodation for two vehicles, together with an adjoining high-clearance carport suitable for a caravan, motorhome, boat or additional vehicles. A circular gravel driveway provides easy vehicle movement throughout the property, complemented by significant rainwater storage and an onsite wastewater treatment system.

Location:
Despite its peaceful setting, the property enjoys exceptional convenience. Mapleton village is approximately two kilometres away — accessible by car or via a scenic walking track — while Mapleton Falls National Park and the start of the Hinterland Great Walk are at your doorstep, offering immediate access to some of the region's most iconic bushwalking and rainforest trails. Nambour's major services, hospital and rail connections are within easy reach, with the Sunshine Coast's beaches, dining precincts and airport all accessible in around 30 minutes.

Offering a rare combination of architectural pedigree, privacy, established grounds and breathtaking views, this is a property that will resonate with buyers seeking a distinctive home in one of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's most desirable locations.
