A character-filled Queenslander farmhouse, lovingly relocated and meticulously upgraded, has been listed for sale in the sought-after Sunshine Coast hinterland near Maleny.
Originally built circa 1900 and moved from Yeronga to its current Reesville address, the 120-year-old home has been transformed into a modern-day retreat with more than $600,000 invested in thoughtful renovations. Set on a fully fenced 4,166sqm parcel surrounded by native plantings and abundant wildlife, the residence blends timeless character with contemporary comfort.
"This is a home with real soul," said sales agent Jonny Elston.
"You can feel the history in the timber floors and veranda's, but the renovations mean it lives like a modern farmhouse retreat. It's rare to find a property where heritage, lifestyle and nature come together so seamlessly."
The residence is framed by wide veranda's and expansive decks that take in sweeping hinterland views. Inside, the main bedroom includes a large sunroom retreat/walk-in robe, while the second bedroom opens to its own sunroom. Open plan living, dining and kitchen spaces flow to the covered rear deck, where sunsets and birdlife provide a daily spectacle.
Upgrades include new roofing, fencing, internal and external paint, polished timber floors, a newly installed fireplace, rebuilt decks, and a fresh asphalt driveway. Functionality has also been enhanced with improved drainage, stormwater systems, new water tanks and filtration, and security features including cameras and electric gate access.
"The property has been reimagined to celebrate its natural setting," Mr Elston said.
"Non-native trees have been removed, natives have been replanted, and the wildlife has flourished. It's not unusual to see koalas in the trees or watch flocks of birds moving across the lakes at dusk. There's even a natural beehive tucked into the trees. It's truly special."
Practical inclusions such as a shed, garage, covered side patio, and NBN connectivity ensure the home is as functional as it is beautiful.
"This home is more than a property - it's a sanctuary, a piece of history, and an incredibly rare offering in the hinterland," Mr Elston said.
