Overview

"Shalimar" Elevated by Design. Defined by the View

SHALIMAR 95 Mountain View Road, Maleny An Architectural Masterpiece. An Irreplaceable View. A Home Without Equal. There are properties that impress, and then there are properties that leave an indelible impression. Shalimar belongs firmly in the latter. Privately positioned on approximately 1,416m2; in one of Maleny's most extraordinary settings, Shalimar is a residence of rare architectural presence. Commanding a prized north-facing position, it brings together exceptional design, remarkable build quality, established gardens and a breathtaking panorama across the Glass House Mountains, Moreton Bay and, on a clear day, towards Brisbane. It is a view that doesn't simply belong to the home. It defines it. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense that Shalimar has been conceived differently. Beautifully established Asian-inspired gardens frame the approach, creating privacy and anticipation before the residence reveals itself. Water, stone, mature landscaping and carefully considered sightlines establish an immediate relationship between architecture and nature. Then you step inside. The impact is extraordinary. Soaring ceilings create an immense sense of volume, while vast expanses of glass flood the interiors with northern light and capture the landscape from seemingly every angle. Mountains, gardens, sky and distant coastline become part of the interior experience, while the home's openness to its outdoor spaces creates an effortless connection between inside and out. The architecture doesn't compete with the view. It frames it. Morning mist gathers between the mountains. Clouds move through the valleys below. The changing light transforms the landscape throughout the day. Summer storms become theatre from behind walls of glass, and as evening arrives, distant lights begin to shimmer across the horizon. It is an outlook that is never static and a home designed to experience every moment of it. At the heart of Shalimar, expansive living and dining spaces unfold beneath soaring ceilings, balancing impressive scale with an unexpected sense of warmth. A striking black suspended fireplace creates a sculptural focal point, while the extensive glazing ensures the landscape remains ever present. The residence has been designed equally for grand entertaining and quiet retreat. Generous living spaces provide room to gather, while a dedicated library and office offer somewhere to work or withdraw. A separate studio introduces further flexibility, creating a private space removed from the principal living areas. Throughout the home, the quality is evident not simply in what you see, but in the way everything has been considered. The proportions, materials, orientation and relationship between spaces speak to a residence designed with longevity in mind rather than passing trends. A Kitchen Designed to Perform The kitchen is equally considered, created not merely as a showpiece but as a serious working environment for those who genuinely enjoy cooking and entertaining. A substantial moveable centre island provides exceptional preparation space and integrated storage, complemented by induction cooking, a separate gas wok, steam oven, warming tray and microwave. A Zip HydroTap provides hot and cold water, while a walk-in pantry, dedicated drinks drawers, glassware display cabinetry and extensive overhead storage demonstrate the thought invested into how the space actually functions. Nearby, one of Shalimar's most distinctive inclusions awaits: a walk-in, temperature-controlled wine room capable of accommodating approximately 500 bottles, creating an impressive environment for both the collector and entertainer. Private Spaces, Beautifully Considered Accommodation comprises four bedrooms, providing excellent separation between family and guest spaces. The main suite is a sanctuary in every sense. Generous proportions, extensive storage, air conditioning and a beautifully appointed ensuite with freestanding bath create a private retreat within the home. Throughout the accommodation and service areas, extensive integrated storage continues the home's emphasis on practical luxury, including dedicated linen, broom and coat storage. Comfort has been considered with the same attention to detail. Thermostatically controlled heated flooring extends through key areas including the kitchen, living room, downstairs bathroom, main ensuite and studio, while air conditioning services the principal living spaces, main bedroom and studio. A vacuum maid system, security and intercom, LED lighting, ethernet connectivity to key rooms and a dedicated server room further demonstrate the depth of planning behind Shalimar. These are details that may not immediately command attention when you walk through the front door. But they are precisely the details that distinguish an exceptional home from one that simply looks exceptional. Where the House Ends and the Landscape Begins Outside, the architecture gives way to another of Shalimar's defining achievements: its gardens. Beautifully established Asian-inspired landscaping surrounds the residence, creating an atmosphere that feels private, mature and remarkably peaceful. A reflection pool and waterfall introduce the movement and sound of water, while considered outdoor entertaining spaces create places to gather, dine or simply stop and take in the surroundings. There is no abrupt transition between house and garden. The extensive glazing, orientation and openness of the architecture allow one to flow naturally into the other. Doors open, sightlines continue and the gardens become an extension of the living environment. It is the genuine indoor-outdoor relationship that architecture often promises but rarely achieves so completely. A dedicated gym and cedar-lined sauna further enhance the home's lifestyle offering, providing spaces for wellness and retreat within the privacy of the residence. Behind the beauty is equally impressive infrastructure. Approximately 45,000 litres of rainwater storage, integrated water filtration, solar power, security systems and a substantial double garage and workshop with internal access ensure Shalimar functions with the same confidence with which it presents. Perhaps most remarkably, the approximately 1,416m² allotment provides a highly usable setting despite the home's commanding outlook. It is an uncommon combination: elevation without sacrificing usability, privacy without isolation and architectural scale without losing intimacy. But Shalimar Cannot Be Understood by a List of Inclusions You can measure the land. You can catalogue the kitchen appliances, wine room, heated floors, sauna, studio and technology. You can describe the soaring ceilings, the gardens and the extraordinary amount of glass. But those things only explain what Shalimar has. They don't explain what Shalimar is. Its true distinction lies in how everything works together. The way northern light moves through the home. The scale without excess. The glass without sacrificing warmth. The relationship between architecture and garden. The craftsmanship and engineering that quietly underpin effortless living. And the way almost every important space has been considered in relation to light, landscape or view. Living here would mean waking as the Glass House Mountains emerge through the morning mist. It would mean preparing dinner with one of Queensland's most recognisable landscapes beyond the glass. Watching weather roll across the hinterland from the comfort of your living room. Opening the house to the gardens on a beautiful Maleny afternoon. Entertaining as daylight disappears from the mountains and the horizon begins to glow. And having all of it entirely to yourself. Some Things Simply Cannot Be Recreated A kitchen can be replaced. Interiors can be redesigned. Gardens can be planted. Even extraordinary homes can, with enough time and investment, be built again. But position cannot. You cannot manufacture this outlook. You cannot recreate this elevation. You cannot replicate the relationship between the Glass House Mountains, Moreton Bay, the distant horizon and the landscape immediately surrounding the home. And that is ultimately what makes Shalimar so compelling. It is not one exceptional element. It is the convergence of position, orientation, architecture, craftsmanship, landscape and view in a single remarkable property. For its next custodians, Shalimar represents far more than the opportunity to acquire a beautiful residence. It is the opportunity to live somewhere that makes you stop and look. Somewhere that changes with the weather, the seasons and the light. Somewhere that feels removed from the world while remaining unmistakably connected to everything that makes Maleny extraordinary. Shalimar is not simply a home with one of the Hinterland's great views. It is a home worthy of it. Justin Smith, Katrina Harris-Smith, Team Smith and the team at Ray White Maleny are immensely proud to present Shalimar to the market and invite you to experience this extraordinary residence for yourself. Welcome to Shalimar. 95 Mountain View Road, Maleny.
