A Distinctive Architectural Residence - peaceful rainforest setting
"The Palms" set on Buderim's north eastern escarpment is a distinctive Buderim residence whose enduring character reflects the best of Queenslander tradition and mid-century modern design. Originally architecturally designed and built in the 1980s, its thoughtful layout embraces subtropical living, with soaring ceilings, generous proportions, natural light and a seamless connection to the outdoors.
Adjoining the treasured Foote Sanctuary, the property enjoys a peaceful and private rainforest backdrop while remaining conveniently close to schools, the university, healthcare facilities and Sunshine Coast beaches. Set on an 840m2 allotment, it offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty and everyday convenience.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the home is ideally suited to extended family living or dual-living arrangements, with a self-contained guest suite on the ground floor. The superbly equipped kitchen features granite benchtops, Miele appliances and a walk-in pantry, while the dining area and classic sunken lounge, complete with wood-burning fireplace, flow through bifold doors to the north-facing pool terrace.
Engineered European oak flooring, finished in a striking matte-black wenge stain, establishes a sophisticated palette of black, white and timber. Upstairs, four bedrooms open to north- and east-facing verandahs, with the impressive master suite featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, a luxurious ensuite with spa bath and a private L-shaped verandah overlooking the pool and rainforest.
A dramatic central void, mezzanine walkway with an incredible stainless steel and glass balustrade, strategically positioned louvres enhance the home's sense of volume, natural light and cross-ventilation, celebrating the architectural principles that make "The Palms" so distinctive.
An exceptional opportunity to secure an architecturally distinctive Buderim home, a remarkable residence in a prized natural setting.
