Some homes have a story. This one has a life well travelled - and the location with Glass House Mountains on the horizon as its reward. Built in Indooroopilly circa 1901, this charming home was carefully moved to Maleny circa 1990 and set down on one of the hinterland's most coveted addresses, Mountain View Road. It stands high on that road behind a white picket fence, truly the essence of the quintessential Queenslander dream in the Hinterland.
Behind the electric gates stand cypress, Norfolks, a spreading poinciana and a fig, all long established, and mixed fruit trees offer a harvest for those who love to potter. The gardens are genuinely beautiful, the kind that took decades to mature and can't be bought new. Inside: timber floors, high ceilings, VJs, French doors and casement windows that take the hinterland breeze. Two adjoining living areas invite you to sprawl, one warmed by a timber fireplace on crisp Maleny evenings, with split-system air conditioning cooling the living areas through summer. The open-plan kitchen, with its handsome timber benchtops, gas and electric cooking and dishwasher, is where everyone ends up and it opens straight to the dining end of the room and on to the expansive entertainment deck.
Family life is easy here. Three generous bedrooms include a private master retreat with ensuite, walk-in robe and luggage store, while a family bathroom serves the other two. A dedicated office downstairs means working from home is a pleasure rather than a compromise, and a sunlit side studio makes the perfect reading nook, art space or quiet escape. Outdoors, wide verandahs and a huge entertaining deck with BBQ area take the largest of tables, and the view does the rest. Downstairs, a carport and vast all-weather area with impressive height gives room for four vehicles plus the workshop or the future expansion some of you may desire.

Picture it at dusk: the fire lit, the deck cooling, the mountains going blue over the valley. The home was moved here once, at considerable trouble, by people who knew exactly what the address was worth.
