A rare opportunity has emerged with the first-time offering of a landmark Queenslander that combines heritage significance, modern comfort and sweeping views.
Built in 1993 as a homage to late Victorian design, the property sits 450 metres above sea level, capturing north-easterly vistas across farmland to the Sunshine Coast.
Known as Norfolk, the bespoke home is located at 1/17 Glens Road, Balmoral Ridge, and retains classic features including 11-foot ceilings, VJ walls, hoop pine floors, cedar sash windows and cedar French doors opening to wrap-around verandas.
Set on 2250sqm of landscaped grounds, the renovated home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, spacious living areas and a designer kitchen.
Other property features include tranquil gardens, a resort-style pool and outdoor entertaining areas, plus terraced stone walls originally laid by Italian internees during World War II, connecting the home to the region’s history.
Combining history, privacy and elevated coastal views, REMAX Hinterland’s Mark Clayton said Norfolk represented a rare offering in one of the Sunshine Coast hinterland’s most sought-after locations.
“This property is a private enclave with an eagle’s view of the Sunshine Coast, looking from Caloundra up to Noosa,” he said.
“It’s on a knoll bounded by a beautiful natural rainforest and it has a brilliant north-east aspect.
“It also picks up the beautiful Maleny hillside of grazing country in the foreground.
“Being just over half an acre in size makes it manageable block too, which is hard to find outside of the immediate town centre.”
Mr Clayton said the property’s location five minutes east of Maleny made it “enviable” and that it offered “privacy, peace and quiet and exclusivity”.
“The home itself was built by the current owners, so it’s the first time it has been offered to the market,” he said.
“They fell in love with the block in the early ’90s and built the house based around the Victorian architecture of the late 1800s.”
Mr Clayton said the Norfolk name paid homage to the historic trees on the property, which include mature Norfolk Island pines, silky oaks and poincianas.
No.1/17 Glens Road, Balmoral Ridge, is open for inspection every Saturday and Sunday from 12-12.30pm prior to its auction on October 26 at 1pm.
