“Mount View” – a Kenilworth icon pioneered by the Pickering family in 1870, positioned on 22 perfectly manicured acres of parkland with Mary River frontage.
The focal point of this magnificent property is the original Pickering homestead, which uses a configuration of pavilions and breezeways to produce a rural colonnade encapsulating an informal semi- circular courtyard featuring 10m billabong-style pebble swimming pool. This historic residence has been extensively refurbished under the direction of renowned architect John Mainwaring; the result is a unique resort-style residence with a distinctive European feel.
The homestead offers 3 spacious bedrooms (2 ensuites and 1 toilet and
Jacuzzi) and open plan design to take advantage of the ridge top location with extensive views across to the Blackall Ranges.
In addition to the main residence, there is a 2 bedroom guesthouse, huge 2 level workshop (15m x 15m) with 3 phase power and brick cellar, plus an office building connected by covered walkway. There is also concrete slab and steel framework onsite for a planned 5th building (originally intended as an art gallery).
This exclusive estate is immaculately presented on an attractive backdrop of grassland featuring many large and old growth trees, and also includes a large dam, bore and irrigation (3 pumps).
All of this has been exceptionally planned on this 22 acre private hinterland haven, yet only 45mins to the conveniences of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. The position, quality of residence and inclusions make it a unique find.
