100 Obi Vale, Maleny QLD 4552

Walk through the mini-rainforest at the rear of the main house, admiring beautiful floral displays, through subtropical rainforests littered with platypus viewing platforms. You might also spot turtles, water dragons and azure kingfishers. Imagine taking your visitors on this amazing walk, and then just a 2 minute drive into magnificent Maleny to enjoy some of Queensland's most beautiful and interesting attractions. The incredible assortment of craft stores, tea rooms and restaurants delights visitors

from all over the world. Yet Maleny retains its small-town charm and friendliness.

Your amazing lifestyle property is located in the best part of Maleny, close to medical facilities, chemists, schools, grocery and hardware stores, fuel and agricultural supply stores. And only a short drive from stunning Sunshine Coast beaches and big city conveniences.

Built to the highest standards, the architect-designed A-Frame Home will delight folk who appreciate the quality of a past era, and who love the fine timbers, quality stones and natural finishes that are sadly, now, rare and very expensive.

Note the patterned glass around the entry, and the lovely timber-lined niches to house a coat stand, a feature table or your favourite artwork. Look up at the gorgeous timber ceilings with feature Oregon beams, and admire the central double wood-fired heater that warms the entire home using a clever heat-transfer system to reach the upper level.

Heavy drapes allow you to curtain off the lovely bright sunroom at the end of a spacious living area. Or turn to your right to admire the oversized dining area and a stunning Tasmanian Oak kitchen superbly crafted by an old-school master craftsman. Large enough to please any cook, the kitchen overlooks a rear veranda and a pretty rainforest garden and features twin pantries on either side of the fridge space, a double sink, and a generously sized gas cooker.

Beautiful, environmentally-friendly slate tiles cover the floors over the entire lower level. The natural stone holds

heat in winter and stays cool on even the hottest days. And this is a floor that lasts and looks good

forever and is almost impossible to damage.

Your ground floor also features a spacious laundry and a delightful country-style bathroom with a slate-tiled shower, quaint floral feature tiles and genuine cedar panelling on the walls.

A lovely polished Kwila staircase leads to three large bedrooms featuring the traditional attic-style sloped ceilings, timber beams, dormer windows, and extra-generous wardrobes provided through clever design techniques. High-quality wool carpet covers the floors up here, and the flue from the double sided wood fire below keeps the area cosy on the coldest nights.

Check out the huge sheds. There's room enough for anything you need to store, plus space to createa dream workshop, man- cave, etc.

Of course there are also large holding yards for sheep or cattle and stables for your horses. And, as you would expect, your lifestyle property features its own dam. You might purchase a license to pump from the river as well, so you'll always enjoy an abundance of water.

And now for the bonus surprises:

1) A huge empty space above the garage, potentially accessed through the rear of the WIR in the master bedroom, offers scope to extend your living space. You could hold a dance in the enormous room that the current owners have never felt the need to use. Plumbing is easily accessible from below to install another bathroom and/or a kitchenette if you so desire. Create a luxury master suite, rumpus room, or your own private gym.

2) Separate from the main house is a 'shouse' (shed house) that the owners lived in while building. It has a kitchen, combined bathroom/laundry, living room, study nook, and two bedrooms.

3) This property is already approved for subdivision. You could potentially carve off 2.5 acres to sell, or construct your own dream home on it and sell the existing house if you prefer. Acreage properties in this area are selling at eye-watering prices that seem to just keep going up.
