Get swept away by the charm and romance of 'Highgrove', this gracious Queenslander, circa 1886, located on a glorious parklike acre in prestigious Western Avenue - Montville's much-admired, leafy dress circle street with homes of distinction and class.
Highset at rear showcasing stunning views across verdant rolling countryside incorporating Lake Baroon; the main residence consists of two bedrooms with dressing rooms, two bathrooms, formal lounge, separate dining, country-style kitchen with a Hamptons-feel and adjacent meals area, expansive rear deck to admire resplendent vista and soak up breezes, separate laundry, and north facing front verandah plus covered walkway to carport.
In addition, there is a cosy studio/loft above the double carport with bathroom – this is large enough to comfortably fit in several beds as well as lounge and has a pitched timber lined ceiling, enhancing the attic-like ambience, and also boasts delightful lake views. This would clearly make a fabulous guest retreat or income generating opportunity via Airbnb.
High ceilings, hardwood polished timber floors, VJ walls, casement windows, claw foot bath, French doors, ornate fretwork, and combustion fireplace, are all features that enhance character and warmth. Both bedrooms open out to front verandah, and modern comforts such as air-conditioning and ceiling fans keep you cool in summer.
Current owners have taken meticulous care of this truly special home inside and out, and the colourful cottage style gardens that surround the home further boost appeal and are very much in symmetry with 'Highgrove's' vintage.
Located just a short drive into Montville village with amenities including boutique dining and retail, churches, parks and playgrounds, and primary school; just 15 minutes' drive to Maleny with its extensive suite of amenities and a scenic drive down the mountain to Palmwoods to access rail to Brisbane – you can savour the delights of picturesque, peaceful hinterland living without sacrifice.
