Moorina Lifestyle Estate
A Private Dual-Residence Acreage in the Moreton Bay Hinterland
28 Melba Street, Moorina
Set across ten elevated acres within the Moreton Bay Region hinterland, this substantial lifestyle holding captures sweeping views toward the Glass House Mountains while remaining within comfortable reach of Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
Designed for scale, flexibility and long-term sustainability, the estate comprises two clearly defined residences - each with its own identity, infrastructure and outlook.
The Red Cedar House (Main Residence)
Crafted in double-story Red Cedar, the principal residence is rich in warmth and architectural character. High ceilings amplify natural light and proportion, while expansive wrap-around decks extend the living footprint outward toward the heated in-ground pool and bushland surrounds.
Living & Entertaining
The eastern wing forms the heart of daily life. At its centre is a recently renovated statement kitchen overlooking the pool and treetops - appointed with a 900mm AEG induction cooktop, concealed rangehood, dual Siemens steam ovens, Siemens combi oven and microwave, and two fully integrated Siemens dishwashers.
A farmhouse ceramic sink with solid brass tapware sits within 30mm Taj Mahal engineered stone benchtops, complemented by an oversized eight-seater breakfast island and generous 2.8-metre cooking island. The result is a kitchen designed not only for function, but for gathering.
Open-plan dining and living areas connect seamlessly to the deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Internal access to the six-bay carport enhances practicality, while flexible rooms on this level provide options for guest accommodation, multigenerational living or a dedicated work-from-home office.
The western wing introduces a substantial second living domain - complete with its own kitchenette or bar - ideal for entertaining or extended family privacy. Wide double doors allow the home to operate as one expansive residence or two separate zones, depending on need.
Accommodation & Retreat
Upstairs is dedicated to rest and retreat. Well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a refined main bathroom, while the king-sized master suite is privately positioned to capture uninterrupted mountain views from its own elevated deck.
The master ensuite is elegantly appointed, and the fully fitted walk-in robe - with glass-front drawers, integrated lighting and dedicated dressing space - delivers a boutique-level finish rarely seen in residential homes.
Across the residence, six bedrooms, four bathrooms and an additional guest powder room ensure the home functions effortlessly at full capacity.
Infrastructure & Sustainability
Beyond aesthetics, the home is exceptionally equipped. A 15kW solar system with two 13kW batteries supports energy efficiency, complemented by a solar hot water system and Fujiclean wastewater treatment system. Approximately 100,000 litres of rainwater storage, plus an additional 23,000-litre tank, are further enhanced by a Puretec G10 water filtration system.
A large powered shed with workshop space adds further utility, ensuring the estate supports both lifestyle and practicality.
Scenic Rural Retreat (Second Residence)
Positioned high on the block near the entrance, the second dwelling enjoys its own elevated perspective across the landscape and toward the mountains.
Fully self-contained, the home offers three bedrooms, a main bathroom plus separate additional toilet, and an open-plan kitchen, living and dining zone that flows directly onto a private deck. A dedicated BBQ pergola, fire pit area and separate spa zone create a complete guest experience independent from the main residence.
Currently operating as Scenic Rural Retreat - Foothills of Mt Mee, the property holds a consistent 5-star rating on Airbnb and generates approximately $90,000 per annum in short-stay income, averaging around $300 per night.
For incoming owners, this represents an immediate and proven revenue stream, while still allowing flexibility for private family use if desired.
The Land & Lifestyle
Approximately 10* acres of mixed bushland and open green space create a natural buffer of privacy in every direction. Purpose-built walking tracks weave through the property, while two dams support the landscape and enhance the rural setting.
The estate delivers a rare balance: peaceful hinterland living with urban connectivity. Burpengary Train Station is approximately 14 minutes away, Brisbane Airport approximately 45 minutes, Brisbane CBD approximately 55 minutes, and the Sunshine Coast approximately 60 minutes by car.
Moorina Lifestyle Estate is a substantial dual-residence holding defined by architectural integrity, income performance and self-sufficient infrastructure - all set within one of Southeast Queensland's most tightly held hinterland pockets.
