This established estate on the Sunshine Coast’s Blackall Range offers a gracious lifestyle, a beautiful home, and gorgeous gardens. The best part of all is that all of the hard work has been done.
‘Balmoral’ has always been a happy home, with the owners enjoying many special family gatherings and fun parties. Just recently, the living room’s French doors were opened up to the 3-metre wide verandas to entertain 80 friends for the owner’s signature year-end celebration.
But as gracious as an old sailing yacht ‘Balmoral’ can easily switch course and settle into a place where everyone can find their own personal retreat. There is the informal ‘winter room’ with a cosy fireplace, the ‘garden room’ which overlooks the loggia, and the living-dining room which opens onto the verandas and gardens, all with their own special feel.
In addition, there are 5 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a gourmet kitchen. A refreshing 9 x 6 metre salt water pool with a 14 x 5 metre loggia, which is an especially welcome addition on those hot summer days.
‘Balmoral’ is set on 5.2 hectares (13 acres, 8 of which are usable), divided into a pasture for a horse to graze, a grove of macadamia trees and your own rainforest. There are even parts of the property that capture small vistas of the ocean to the east and to Baroon Pocket dam to the west.
‘Balmorals’ well-established gardens, take on the feel of Provence, with conifers, fruit trees, and hedging stretching along the pebbled pathways. The climate on the range being a little cooler than the coast also provides the gardener with more planting options such as roses and deciduous varieties. It must also be noted that the owners have specifically designed the house gardens, of just on a half hectare, not only to be picturesque but be easily maintained.
In addition to the main house is “The Caretakers Cottage,” a lovely old shed that has been converted into a good-sized, 2 bedroom guest house. The other half of the shed remains a good work shed for all other farm duties.
With its romantic charm, on several occasions, brides and grooms have romantically said “I Do” under the lush green surrounds offered by the property.
STCA it could even be turned into a B &B or boutique function venue.
The beauty of this gorgeous property is not only that it is a private, gracious residence with a 2 bedroom guest cottage and beautiful grounds, but it is also its proximity to the cultural village of Montville. You are only an easy 5 minutes walk away to coffee shops, fine dining, boutique shopping, and art galleries, so it really makes you feel you are still in the heart of it all.
To venture a little further the Sunshine Coast offers endless beaches, great schools, and Farmer’s Markets. Maleny hospital is also in close proximity. Sunshine Coast Int’l Airport is approximately 40 mins drive, and Brisbane and its international airport are an easy 90 minutes drive.
