Step into a living piece of Queensland history with 'Barlow House', a grand 500m² Queenslander estate set on 4 lush acres in the heart of the charming hinterland township of Eumundi.
With private river frontage onto the North Maroochy River, expansive lawns and panoramic views to Mount Cooroy, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.
A Storied Past, A Timeless Home.
Originally built in 1895 in Brisbane’s riverside suburb of Toowong by prominent banker and politician Andrew Henry Barlow, this historic residence was a wedding gift for his young bride, Eleanor. Home to political gatherings and moments of colonial history, the house remained in the family until 1941.
In 1988, it was carefully relocated to Eumundi, where it was lovingly restored as a heritage B&B, and more recently, completely reimagined by the Andrews Family in a multi-million-dollar restoration that honours its federation-era architecture while introducing contemporary refinement.
