Allister Millican and the team at Ray White Maleny are proud to present 72 McCarthy Shute Road, Maleny, an architecturally designed residence of genuine distinction, privately positioned across approximately 5,440m² and capturing one of the most extraordinary outlooks on the Blackall Range.
Designed by award winning architect Norman Richards, the home combines intelligent passive solar principles with a strong connection to its landscape. Its orientation, distinctive rooflines and extensive glazing work together to welcome natural light, capture cooling breezes and place the remarkable outlook at the centre of everyday life.
The result is a home that feels completely connected to its surroundings.
From its elevated position, the property commands approximately 270 degrees of uninterrupted hinterland scenery extending from the east, through the south and across to the west. The unmistakable peaks of the Glass House Mountains are perfectly framed within the landscape, while the outlook continues across the coast toward Moreton Island, traditionally known as Mulgumpin, with ocean glimpses and distant views extending toward Brisbane.
This is a panorama of remarkable breadth and depth.
Morning light rises across the coastal horizon and illuminates the Glass House Mountains. Throughout the day, the valleys and ranges change with the movement of light, cloud and weather. As evening arrives, the western sky comes alive before the distant lights of the coast and Brisbane begin to appear.
At the heart of the residence is a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living area where extensive glazing draws the landscape into the home. The kitchen is well appointed with Westinghouse appliances, including a glass cooktop, oven and dishwasher, while the double door Euromaid refrigerator fits the space perfectly and can remain with the property.
The living area opens directly to the rear deck, creating a natural extension of the internal living spaces. An Eclipse opening roof system allows the area to be adjusted according to the weather, providing shade, protection or open sky as desired.
The home offers three well proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The privately positioned main suite includes a walk in robe and ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are supported by the main bathroom and dedicated laundry.
Comfort has been thoughtfully considered throughout, with ceiling fans, roller blinds and air conditioning to the living area and two bedrooms. The living room blinds are electrically operated, adding another layer of ease and practicality.
A separate air conditioned home office or studio provides valuable flexibility away from the main living areas. It is ideally suited to working from home, creative pursuits, consulting or simply creating a quiet space with separation from the residence.
The home's passive solar design is supported by a range of practical systems intended to improve comfort and efficiency. Solar hot water is installed, while tank water is supported by a whole house 3 in 1 filtration system.
Outside, the established gardens and generous lawns create a peaceful setting around the home. A spring fed pond adds another natural element to the grounds, while the property is fully fenced and includes a double door Keter garden shed positioned on a concrete slab.
The approximately 5,440m2 holding provides genuine privacy and breathing room without becoming overwhelming to maintain. Mature planting softens the home within its environment, while open sections of lawn preserve the extraordinary outlook in every direction.
This is not simply a home with a mountain view or a distant glimpse of the coast. It is a residence designed around the broader South East Queensland landscape.
