Circa 1913, the home’s grandeur and savoir vivre still shines brightly; there is nothing comparable on the Sunshine Coast for pure old-world majesty and refinement. Host to the likes of the Duke of Gloucester and other members of the nobility throughout its past
A architect designed extension was built onto the home to enhance functionality and increase size in 2003, and it has been meticulously and tastefully completed to blend in harmoniously with the original home; everything is in synchronicity, attention to detail has been paramount, and the results are first-class.
The home itself is complete with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, home office with built-in silky oak cabinetry, well-equipped family kitchen, stately formal lounge and dining room, massive family room, huge games/media room with custom-designed built-in bar and commercial wine fridge, expansive wrap-around verandah, capacious rear deck, five vehicle lock-up accommodation plus a huge resort-style pool and spa on a fully fenced 6,315 square metre block with lush tropical gardens designed by award winning landscaped architects creating a plantation-like ambience.

The master retreat is the essence of luxury and opulence, complete with fireplace, custom built Hoop Pine cabinetry, Italian marble spa bath, Limestone floors, walk-through wardrobe with dressing room, and picture postcard ocean views encompassing Old Woman Island.
Despite its vintage, it is a practical home with a family-friendly floor plan facilitating good separation of living; it offers a functionality and symmetry that many homes of this era lack – really enhancing its appeal as a family home.
The landscaped luxuriant sub-tropical gardens are simply exquisite, from a dense rainforest pocket through to radiant flowering trees, shrubs, palms, and majestic trees; this garden complements the home perfectly, and there are extensive lawn areas for children and pets to play, as well as hand-crafted rock benches and garden fixtures to create individual pockets of interest, and places to rest. From the sweet fragrance of frangipani trees, through to the resplendent display the jacarandas showcase when in bloom, the vibrant heliconias and gingers, stately mango trees creating cooling shade… It is a garden that is breathtaking in all seasons, and has a diversity of vegetation that thrives in the rich red soil.
