Allister Millican and the team at Ray White Maleny are proud to present "Kutu Kutu", a masterwork in modern architecture, perfectly set within 13.8 acres of elevated hinterland landscape. From its sculpted lines to its material honesty, this residence expresses a rare dialogue between built form and nature.
• The Main Residence
Approached through a grand entrance, and via a sealed internal road that winds past the secondary cottage, the main home reveals itself slowly. A proud, linear composition of glass, sandstone and timber that sits lightly on the land.
The architecture is grounded yet refined, balancing openness and privacy with a sense of effortless restraint. Inside, oak parquetry flooring and granite benches and hearths create tactile depth, each material chosen for its permanence and patina. Light floods through expansive glazing, drawing the landscape into every room, while deep verandahs and the large undercover entertaining area extend the living experience outward to uninterrupted coastal views stretching from north of Noosa to south of Caloundra.
At its centre, a bespoke double-sided fireplace anchors the open living spaces, adding sculptural warmth and balance. Each element has been crafted to serve both form and function, refined, restrained, enduring.
From the living zones, broad doors open to the limestone-paved pool terrace, a private sanctuary defined by still water, natural texture and horizon views. This outdoor area becomes an extension of the architecture itself, reflecting the same quiet precision and effortless sense of calm.
Every moment in this home is orchestrated around connection, to the landscape, to the light, and to the understated beauty of natural materials.
• Forresters Cottage
The original 1950s farmhouse, Forresters Cottage, stands as a beautifully preserved link to the property's past. Thoughtfully maintained and shaded by a magnificent fig tree, it sits quietly within its own pocket of the estate - private, peaceful, and deeply characterful.
Its warm, traditional proportions and timeless materials create an atmosphere of simple authenticity, offering a rare sense of continuity between heritage and modern architecture. Perfect for guests, extended family or short-stay accommodation, Forresters Cottage brings an enduring charm that complements the contemporary main residence with balance and grace.
• The Land
Spanning 13.8 acres (5.58 hectares), the property unfolds as a living landscape, a private world of elevation, water and quiet beauty. A sealed internal road runs the full length of the estate, connecting open lawns, palm groves, ancient fig trees and shaded creeks that follow the contours of the land.
The topography invites both enjoyment and imagination. Sections of open ground offer multiple potential sites for further development or cabins (STCA), while a large, elevated grass helicopter platform complete with wind sock makes an impressive arrival point for those seeking convenience and exclusivity.
Creeks wind through the property and mature native plantings soften the landscape, creating a sense of harmony between structure and nature. Comprehensive water infrastructure - including small dams, tanks and natural catchment systems - supports both the home and gardens, forming a self-sustaining environment that feels as practical as it is poetic.
• Opportunity and Vision
Beyond its architectural and lifestyle appeal, Kutu Kutu offers genuine potential (STCA) for boutique cabins, wellness retreats or nature-based tourism. The combination of elevation, privacy, natural waterways and established infrastructure forms the ideal canvas for a future vision that remains connected to the land's integrity.
• Location
Located between Montville and Mapleton, Kutu Kutu sits at the heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's most coveted ridgeline. Renowned restaurants, artisan cafés and weekend markets are moments away, while the Sunshine Coast beaches and airport are within a comfortable 35-minute drive.
This is not just a property - it is a modern architectural estate grounded in timeless natural beauty.
