Set within a peaceful hinterland setting on an acre of lush land just outside Maleny, "Ruddles Retreat" is a private lifestyle property offering space, outlook and an immersive connection to its natural surroundings. Positioned along a quiet no-through road, the property enjoys exceptional privacy, with three sides bordered by open fields capturing expansive rural outlooks.
Defined by raked ceilings and timber detailing, the home carries country warmth and architectural character that feels timeless and relaxed. Natural light filters through well-placed windows, drawing greenery inward and enhancing the calm atmosphere throughout the living spaces. At the centre of the main living area, a freestanding fireplace creates a striking focal point, while large timber-framed glass doors open directly onto the deck, allowing the indoors to flow seamlessly outside.
Accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, thoughtfully separated across two levels to create both privacy and functionality. Upstairs, the main bedroom opens onto a private balcony, with the addition of a lovely outdoor shower allowing you to take in the sweeping hinterland views. The upper level also incorporates a second bedroom, central bathroom, and a study nook overlooking the void below, enhancing the sense of space and connection within the home.
The lower level is designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. A central kitchen with island bench connects seamlessly to the dining, family and outdoor zones. The main living room is anchored by a fireplace that adds warmth and character. The third bedroom, complete with built-in robe, is serviced by a nearby bathroom and laundry, ideal for guests or dual living potential.
Outdoor living is a standout feature, with multiple covered spaces extending from the home. The expansive rear deck, approximately 60sqm, runs the length of the home and connects directly to the main living areas, creating a natural flow for entertaining. A covered front porch offers an additional relaxed sitting space, while the upper balcony provides a more private retreat.
Established gardens, fruit trees and winding pathways create a private outdoor environment, with shaded areas beneath mature trees offering places to pause and unwind with family and friends while taking in the sunsets. Open surrounds and abundant birdlife complete the immersive hinterland atmosphere.
The separate A-frame garage, echoing the home's design, provides secure parking for two vehicles along with additional storage or workshop space. A dual-entrance driveway enhances accessibility and flexibility for vehicles and guests.
"Ruddles Retreat" is currently operated as short-stay accommodation, offering an opportunity to continue running as an accommodation business if desired. Configured to accommodate up to seven guests, the home and grounds have also proven well suited to intimate weddings, boutique corporate sessions and small wellness retreats. The gardens and open lawns naturally lend themselves to outdoor gatherings. Picture long-table dinners beneath festoon lights, marquees set against a hinterland backdrop, or yoga sessions at sunrise on the lawn. The setting offers both privacy and flexibility, allowing future owners to curate experiences that feel personal and memorable.
