Sold – Harcourts Hinterland

Down a short Maleny lane, this immaculately presented property with its delightful Queenslander-style cottage sits on its 6,500m2 block (approx 1.5 acres). As well as the home, there is also a separate Artist’s Studio, and a wide single lock-up garage and adjoining carport.

This is the type of home that many dream to own – but can rarely be found.

The home has a high raked ceiling, which creates a wonderful sense of openness and space, even though in fact the home is not that large. The main living area is flooded with light from the windows and wide door opening leading out to the verandah and the home has excellent cross-ventilation from the doors and windows. The area is open plan, with the initial feature as you enter being the impressive handcrafted Bluegum slab bench/breakfast bar. The design of this area has been carefully thought-out, to make the absolute most of the space available.

On entry you are immediately drawn out to the wide verandah on the north-east, and from here you look out over the surrounding countryside as this property adjoins a property that is 50 acres of natural bushland. What a spot to sit and enjoy the views, capturing the best of the sun in winter, the shade and cool breezes in summer, and naturally protected from the winter winds and the hot afternoon sun in summer by the slope of the land behind.

Back inside, the home has a main bedroom downstairs, and a stairway leading up to the mezzanine level where the second bedroom is located. This area has been divided into two separate areas, and so would happily accommodate two children. The bathroom is tucked away in a corner downstairs.

The separate studio building is a recent addition, and has been built using a lot of recycled materials. It is 9m x 5m in area, has a high ceiling, and a small room partitioned off in one corner. Although separate to the home, it is not far away, and is reached by a ramp with a small entry deck area, and through cedar timber double entry doors. The floor is recycled hardwood timber, and the view from this room is absolutely magnificent. This building could serve many purposes – home office, extra bedroom space etc.

The single lock-up garage is extra wide, with the laundry being located in here. The single carport is attached, and is positioned close to the front door of the home.

The property has been cleverly designed to be very low maintence, with approx 2,000m2 around the home being dedicated as a house yard, and the remaining 4,500m2 approximately being fenced for the small Dexter cattle that are happily keeping the grass trimmed. There is a fabulous vegetable garden, fenced for protection from wildlife, a wide variety of mature fruit trees, a great chook pen, and lots of flowering native shrubs and bushes – the birds just love to come and visit.

As an extra bonus, you can even have the chooks and the cattle when you buy!

Properties such as this are very hard to find – all the hard work has been done, so now you can just enjoy the absolute peace and tranquillity of this very special location.
