"Gables" at 24 Obi Vale delivers the kind of space, privacy and character that defines the North Maleny Hinterland at its best, without giving up convenience, connection or everyday practicality. It is the kind of place that lets you slow down at home without stepping away from work, family, healthcare or the life you've built.
Positioned on a beautifully elevated 4,872m² allotment on the quiet cul-de-sac of Obi Vale, where you will know your neighbours by name and not by noise, this substantial circa-1890 Queenslander showcases the elegance and scale of classic Queensland architecture. Grand proportions. Established gardens. A swimming pool with separate spa. A fully self-contained lower level. And an infrastructure package designed to be owned, not managed. All of it minutes from Maleny's town centre.
For buyers relocating from major centres, "Gables" offers a genuine and sustainable lifestyle shift, one that keeps work, schools, healthcare and the Sunshine Coast within comfortable reach, while placing you in one of the most distinguished private settings on the Blackall Range.
THE LOCATION
North Maleny Privacy. Minutes From Maleny Township.
Obi Vale is among the most sought-after addresses in North Maleny: elevated, private, and entirely residential in character, yet less than five minutes from Maleny's thriving town centre. The result is a property that offers genuine seclusion without any isolation that gives buyers pause.
THE COMMUNITY
Maleny is a real community with its own strong identity, one that has endured and deepened over decades.
The Maleny Soldiers Memorial Hospital is a fully staffed 24/7 Emergency Department less than five minutes from your front gate. This is coupled with multiple GP practices, dentists and many other essential health care services located in the township.
Beyond healthcare, the town centre offers major supermarkets (Woolworths and IGA), organic and artisan grocers, award-winning cafes, fine dining, professional services, and well-regarded local schools. The arts scene, cooperative tradition, and long-standing alternative culture give Maleny a social texture that most lifestyle markets cannot replicate.
Landsborough Station provides rail access to Brisbane, with the beaches, hospitals, shopping and business hubs of the Sunshine Coast all within comfortable reach down the range.
CLASSIC QUEENSLANDER CHARACTER, BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED
Stepping inside "Gables" reveals a home of remarkable scale, where classic late-19th-century craftsmanship has been maintained to an exacting standard and seamlessly integrated with premium modern comforts. Soaring ceilings, wide VJ walls, rich timber flooring, exquisite leadlight windows and a dedicated study define the character of the upper level.
The expansive layout flows through multiple oversized living and dining zones, designed for both formal occasions and everyday ease, before opening onto multiple verandahs, allowing both sunlight and shade as needed at any time of day or year. These are the best rooms in the house. Coffee at seven in the morning. A glass of your favourite at six in the evening. There is no better argument for this property than an hour spent here.
THE KITCHEN: A superb chef's kitchen anchors the home, with Miele appliances, granite benchtops and soft-close cabinetry, alongside an adjoining butler's pantry designed for effortless entertaining.
PRIVATE OUTDOOR LIVING: The grand living and dining rooms connect to the verandahs, which overlook the manicured gardens and the property's private heated swimming pool and separate spa. Privacy hedging, stone-lined pathways and gently contoured lawns create a park-like setting that is entirely yours, beautiful in every season.
DUAL LIVING SUITE: The lower level is a fully self-contained residence, with kitchenette, bathroom and living space, functioning as a private guest wing or a short-stay holiday rental to support the property's carrying costs while you settle in. Separate entry. Complete independence.
INFRASTRUCTURE: SET UP TO BE OWNED, NOT MAINTAINED
AUTOMATED LAWN CARE: Robot mower maintains the established lawns with minimal physical effort.
WATER SECURITY: Approximately 80,000L of rainwater storage supports the home and gardens.
SOLAR AND BATTERY: 11kW solar system with 16kW home battery reduces running costs and adds energy resilience.
WORKSPACE AND STORAGE: Substantial workshop, multi-vehicle parking with garage and shed space for vehicles, tools, hobbies or a home-based business.
