Circa 1999 ‘Ballyherst’ sits proudly on a magnificent fully fenced 3881m2 block in a dress circle location; its build and design inspired by the owners’ former home in Ballymore Park Brisbane, built in 1882 which embodied early Queensland architecture, featuring 3.3 metre ceilings on the upper level, wide verandahs and cedar joinery.
Formerly used as a bed and breakfast, fully compliant with council approval. Split over two levels, the home is complete with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, casual and formal living areas, two kitchens, wrapround timber verandah with rotunda, covered patio on ground level, saltwater inground pool, and parking for in excess of 10 vehicles.
Adapting some of these features to suit the Maleny landscape and climate, ‘Ballyherst’ is an absolute masterpiece – a home the exudes timeless elegance and grace; a property that is as refined as it is charming. The home has been constructed to the highest of standards with no expense spared, and no corners cut. It is pure quality and class.
With views to the iconic Glass House Mountains that extend 80 kilometres to Brisbane, are showcased from the upper level…and they are simply stunning; they must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
Features of the home are extensive, and include: Australian hardwood timber floors on upper level, Indian sandstone on lower level, original English cast iron claw foot bath in master ensuite, recycled Beech timber kitchen with an original butler’s sink, semi-commercial kitchen on lower level, reverse cycle air-conditioning in three bedrooms and lower lounge, French doors, bay windows, external access from each bedroom, ornate timber fretwork, fireplace and more…
Picturesque cottage style gardens frame the home, with a blend of camellias, magnolias, ground carpet roses, and tropical vegetation; there are cosy pockets scattered amongst the garden that are just perfect for high-tea or a quiet glass of champagne under the stars – this is very reminiscent of an English summer’s garden, with an Australian flavour.
Located in blue-chip Mountain View Road, widely regarded as Maleny’s finest street, home to premium residences on acreage, and just a five-minute drive into town to access Maleny’s full suite of amenities; this truly enchanting property offers luxury, lifestyle, and location!
