Wrapped in wide verandahs, ornate iron lacework and cascading greenery, this grand Queenslander sits proudly at the precipice of Tamborine Mountain's most iconic precinct; a true character home with a history of welcoming guests, now ready to become a cherished private residence. Set on an expansive 2,598 sqm block and only a short stroll from Gallery Walk, the property blends traditional craftsmanship with oversized living spaces, leafy privacy, and the kind of architectural detail rarely found today.

On the main level, polished hardwood floors glow under soft natural light as French doors open to deep wraparound verandahs overlooking the gardens. The statement sandstone fireplace and chimney - hand-laid and beautifully preserved - anchor the main living zone with warmth and presence. Decorative arches, bay windows, window seats and timber detailing create a home that feels both nostalgic and full of life, with generous proportions that invite reinvention. Whether your vision includes a sprawling family home, multigenerational living, creative studios or entertaining spaces, the layout offers remarkable flexibility and easy conversion to a charming 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom farmhouse on this main level including the existing large secure studio on the upper level.

Downstairs, the large open-plan living and dining areas rest upon stunning stone flooring, adding depth, texture and a natural earthiness that grounds the home. A second fully equipped kitchen, multiple French door connections to the gardens, and large multipurpose rooms provide obvious potential for dual living, a private retreat, or hobby rooms. Step further up to the tucked-away attic-style upper room - the perfect space for an office, sewing room, dressing room, studio or teenage hideaway.
