Welcome to "Red Marley", Tamborine Mountain - a residence defined by its heritage, craftsmanship and commanding presence, originally established in 1923 as part of the iconic Red Marley Farm.
Positioned on a level, elevated 2,390m² parcel on Moreton Bay Avenue, the home captures sweeping, uninterrupted views to North Stradbroke Island and across the Gold Coast skyline. This is a rare combination on the Mountain-usable flat land paired with a truly remarkable outlook.
The residence itself is substantial in scale, spanning approximately 519m² under roof. Original hoop pine linings, timber detailing and reclaimed features reflect its history, while expansive living zones and thoughtful additions provide comfort and flexibility for modern living.
Designed for both relaxed living and large-scale entertaining, multiple indoor areas connect seamlessly to an oversized undercover entertaining space, complete with sweeping views across the level grassed yard-offering ample room for a future pool if desired. A series of balconies, decks and verandahs further enhance the connection to the elevated setting and surrounding landscape.
Crowning the upper level, a striking hexagonal retreat offers a light-filled and versatile space-perfect as a studio, reading room, or private escape, framed by elevated views and natural surrounds.
Accommodation is generous, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a spacious master retreat featuring pressed metal ceilings, a private sitting area, and an adjoining nursery or study. Provision is already in place for a fourth bathroom or ensuite, allowing for further enhancement if desired.
The flexible layout also lends itself to multi-generational living, with the downstairs media room/5th bedroom complete with its own ensuite and the ability to be privately accessed via the driveway-ideal for extended family, guests, or independent living.
