4-6 Moreton Bay Ave, Tamborine Mountain QLD 4272

In 1923 a large portion of old Eagle Heights was Red Marley Farm. As the farming family owned all of the land, they had no competition when selecting a site for their house. They chose the perfect position, the corner of Moreton Bay Ave and Wongawallan Rd, a level block with wonderful, unobstructed views north and east towards the ocean and islands, overlooking the forest. Many years later the farm was subdivided into rural/residential blocks with the owners retaining 1 acre for their house and gardens. (There is drive-through access from both 4 Moreton Bay Ave and 87 Wongawallan Rd.)
The rest of the street was divided into quarter acre blocks, all long since built on. Red Marley has served several owners over the years; since 1983 it has been occupied by 3 generations of the same family. The original 1-acre block is now divided into 3 titles. The house centrally positioned on 2,390 m2 adjoins 2 vacant blocks which are currently incorporated into the gardens. The owners have resisted the temptation to sub-divide this exceptional property, but this option is available to the successful buyer.
Parts of the original cottage are discreetly incorporated in the current building. Original wall linings of 12-inch-wide hoop pine boards are still evident. It is believed that the panelling in the upper floor lounge was recycled from an old Beaudesert bank, as was the front door. Recently redecorated, the property is now offered for sale. Current building and pest reports are available for qualified buyers.

Mountain history buffs may know that in the 1930's the property was the scene of "polite society" garden parties. At one time it was owned by John Chandler, Mayor of Brisbane 1940 to 1952. This property can genuinely be described as unique and is positioned in one of the most desirable spots on the Mountain. Unique and up-market in "olde" Eagle Heights.
Footnote: "Marley" is an Olde English surname taken from a place name meaning "pleasant wood"; we believe that "Red" refers to the Mountain's rich red volcanic soil.
