Set high on the ridgeline with sweeping views across the Witta valley, 475 Maleny Kenilworth Road is a property that captures everything the Hinterland is loved for. Vast, uninterrupted outlooks. Complete tranquillity. Beautifully crafted spaces. Flexibility. Privacy. And a sense of belonging that is unmistakably Hinterland.
This is much more than a home. It is a lifestyle estate, a business opportunity, a creative retreat and a beautiful place to live, set on 6.89 acres of gently rolling land that invites you to expand, imagine and enjoy.
A Flexible Estate With Extraordinary Potential
Few properties offer this level of intelligent, multi-purpose design.
A fully detached second dwelling, originally constructed with a public art studio and café in mind, provides enormous flexibility. Its layout, scale and separation from the main residence make it ideal for:
A working art studio
A gallery space
A home-based business
A café or creative hospitality offering (STCA)
Boutique accommodation
A retreat or workshop venue
Independent family or guest living
High-yield Airbnb
The bones and intent of the building make it uniquely suited to both commercial and residential uses.
Multiple ensuited guest rooms within the main residence broaden the opportunities even further, allowing for dual occupancy, wellness retreats, guest accommodation or multi-generational living with ease.
The upper level serves as a private and comfortable owner's residence, ensuring separation and autonomy while still being connected to the operational areas below.
A Proven Short-Stay Favourite
This property has already built a strong reputation as a sought-after Airbnb, previously operating as the only accommodation offering in the Hinterland that provided a full cooked breakfast. This unique point of difference generated:
High repeat bookings
Outstanding guest reviews
Exceptional occupancy levels
Consistent year-round demand
Guests came for the view, the peaceful setting, the privacy and the warm, authentic experience. The foundation is already laid for new owners to step directly into income generation or expand into a boutique retreat model.
Commercial-Grade Kitchen, Exceptional for Hosting
At the heart of the main residence is a fully equipped commercial-grade kitchen. This rare feature allows for:
Hosted dinners or breakfasts
Catering
Cooking workshops
Retreat dining
Farm-to-table experiences
Large family gatherings
It elevates the property into a class of its own for entertaining, hosting and commercial use.
Quality Infrastructure, Shed and Workshop
A quality shed and workshop add to the property's practicality and appeal. Whether you are a hobbyist, a tradesperson, a collector or need storage for equipment or machinery, the infrastructure here supports it. The long sealed driveway, generous turning space and placement of buildings all enhance usability.
Designed to Embrace the View
Every living space has been oriented to capture the panoramic valley outlook. Large windows draw the landscape into the home, filling every room with light and calm. Expansive verandahs offer perfect vantage points for sunrise breakfasts, slow afternoons and evenings bathed in golden light.
Space for Families, Guests and Multi-Generational Living
With multiple living zones, private wings and ensuited bedrooms, this is an exceptional home for families of all sizes. The separation between the main residence, the ensuited areas and the detached second dwelling creates natural independence, making it ideal for extended family arrangements, adult children, grandparents or long-term guests.
The Land and Lifestyle
The 6.89 acres are beautiful, usable and inviting. There is space to grow vegetables, keep animals, expand infrastructure or simply enjoy having room around you. Peace, privacy and space define the experience here.
