THE UPPER LEVEL

At the heart of the home, polished hardwood floors lead through generous light-filled living spaces anchored by a freestanding wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the cooler months.

Beautifully renovated, the kitchen seamlessly blends timeless country charm with contemporary functionality. Soft sage cabinetry introduces a calming palette, complemented by warm timber accents and oversized picture windows framing the surrounding greenery. Sparkling stone benchtops add a subtle touch of luxury, while a generous island bench creates the perfect gathering space for family and friends.Adjacent to the kitchen, a light-filled casual dining area offers an inviting space for everyday family meals, complementing the formal dining room and enhancing the home's effortless flow. Quality appliances, extensive storage and a walk-in pantry ensure practicality is never compromised.

A formal dining room is a particular highlight, where large windows capture tranquil garden views and create a beautiful backdrop for entertaining. Nearby, the spacious lounge, complete with reverse-cycle air conditioning, flows effortlessly into the home's inviting outdoor living spaces.

Warm, welcoming and beautifully connected to its natural surroundings, the main living area showcases rich polished hardwood floors and a freestanding wood-burning fireplace that creates a wonderful sense of character and ambience. Large windows invite an abundance of natural light and frame peaceful leafy vistas, while seamless access to the covered front verandah and expansive enclosed sunroom provides exceptional indoor-outdoor living. These versatile spaces offer the perfect setting to entertain, unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Hinterland throughout every season.

Privately positioned, the master suite is a true sanctuary, generously proportioned and beautifully appointed to create a sense of comfort and retreat. Bathed in natural light and enjoying tranquil garden vistas through a charming bay window, the space is enhanced by a dedicated sitting area, walk-in robe and private ensuite, delivering a luxurious haven away from the rest of the home. Completing the accommodation, two additional bedrooms enjoy peaceful garden outlooks and generous proportions, while the light-filled main bathroom features a spa bath, separate shower and large vanity, creating a practical yet relaxing family space.

THE LOWER LEVEL

Designed with flexibility and income potential firmly in mind, the lower level offers a fully self-contained living zone comprising its own living and dining area, bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom and covered patio. With a private entrance and complete separation from the main residence, the space provides an outstanding opportunity for boutique Airbnb accommodation or guest stays in one of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's most desirable locations.

Equally suited to multi-generational living, a home-based business, long-term guest accommodation or a private teenager's retreat, this versatile space allows occupants to enjoy independence and privacy while maintaining a seamless connection to the home when desired.

A double lock-up garage (4.6m x 6.6m), second single garage (3.4m x 6.6m) and dedicated laundry complete the lower level, while internal stairs provide seamless connectivity between both levels when desired.

THE GROUNDS

Step outside and discover a setting that truly captures the essence of Hinterland living. Established gardens create a private sanctuary, with layers of tropical greenery, flowering natives and mature plantings fostering a sense of peace and seclusion.

For those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, productive vegetable gardens, raised growing beds, established fruit trees and a rainwater tank provide an abundance of homegrown produce while supporting the property's sustainable appeal. Expansive areas of level lawn offer plenty of space for children and pets to play, family gatherings, backyard cricket or simply enjoying the freedom and tranquillity that comes with a larger landholding. Throughout the grounds, thoughtfully curated outdoor spaces invite relaxation and connection, from a natural firepit with rustic log seating to secluded garden retreats ideal for a morning coffee or quiet afternoon escape.

Adding further versatility is a substantial shed (5.8m x 7.8m), offering excellent space for a workshop, hobby room, equipment storage or creative pursuits. Practical inclusions such as town water, security screens and window and door locks throughout enhance both convenience and peace of mind.

Despite its wonderfully private setting, the home enjoys exceptional convenience, located just minutes from the heart of Maleny and within easy reach of local schools, cafés, boutique shopping, medical facilities and everyday amenities.
