1.4 hectares and embraced by panoramic views of majestic mountains and lush surroundings, this idyllic hinterland retreat blends rustic charm, modern comfort, and endless opportunity. At its heart is a beautifully restored 4-bedroom homestead, complemented by five enchanting, fully self-contained cottages, each with its own picture-perfect style. Meticulously landscaped gardens, abundant fruit trees, and dedicated entertaining spaces heighten the estate's peaceful allure, home to turtles, frogs, ducks, and a symphony of native birds.
Steeped in history, the main residence captures the timeless elegance of a bygone era. Soaring 13ft ceilings, elegant fretwork, skylights, and rustic timber floors give the home its unmistakable character, while wraparound verandahs invite you to savour the outdoors from every angle, framing sweeping views of the valley and fields beyond.
Inside, a lounge with a warm wood-burning fireplace flows into a formal dining area, the perfect setting for cherished gatherings. A sunroom connects to two inviting rooms at the rear, while the galley-style kitchen, fitted with a 900mm gas stove and oven, beckons culinary enthusiasts to create gastronomic delights. The home offers four cosy bedrooms, one a cottage-sized cabin with its own rear entrance, kitchenette, and ensuite - previously used as a sixth cottage for B&B guests. Two bathrooms, including one graced by a charming clawfoot bath, plus a third toilet on the verandah, ensure convenience, while air-conditioning and ceiling fans throughout keep every space comfortable year-round.
Five cottages await across the estate, each a private retreat with its own personality:
Lazy Sundays Cottage: 2-bed, 1-bath, full kitchen, private yard
Snug Cottage: Studio with ensuite, patio with lake views
Pixie Nest & Gypsie Meadow Cottages: Ensuites, A/C, mountain views
Rose Cottage: 1-bed, fully self-contained, wood fire
Wandering the property reveals enchanting gardens, lovingly landscaped and manicured to perfection. A Tuscan-inspired courtyard with power, water, and an open fireplace sets the stage for intimate or larger gatherings, while the billabong offers a serene backdrop for entertaining. A charming smaller courtyard tucked between the homestead and cabins hides a secret gazebo awaiting discovery, and a sprawling grassy field invites play, activities, and events. The estate is fully fenced, with animal enclosures, shelters, and holding pens currently home to alpacas, accessible via an automatic gate separating the house from the field.
Nature's bounty is abundant, with various fruit and flowering trees gracing the grounds. Eco-conscious living sits at the heart of the estate: a 9.9kW solar system, solar hot water for the main house, and electric hot water for Cottages 1, 2, and 5, with Cottages 3 and 4 running on gas. Water is equally well provided for, with 45,000L-capacity tanks, crystal-clear bore water serving toilets and laundry, and the gardens nourished from the front dam and creek running through the property. A gravity-fed water system with booster pumps installed in each dwelling keeps every corner of the estate flowing smoothly.
Parking is abundant, with covered space for up to 10 cars - including a 4-bay shed near Cottage 5 (built mid-2021, 6m x 12m), a 2-car carport near the main house, and additional 4-car accommodation nestled between Cottages 1 and 2.
The estate sits less than a minute's drive from the heart of Kenilworth township, with easy access to local amenities. Noosa and the Sunshine Coast Airport are approximately 50 minutes away, and Brisbane Airport is reachable in just 1 hour and 40 minutes - offering a genuine countryside escape without sacrificing convenience.
The property is not being sold as an ongoing business; instead, it offers a rare, ready-made canvas for the discerning buyer to shape their own venture, tailor-made to their passions and aspirations, or simply to enjoy as a private hinterland escape.
