Don't miss out on the headlines from Sunshine Coast. Followed categories will be added to My News.
It's the position and the views that define this Bald Knob property.
Set just below the high point of the Blackall Range, it features a charming Queenslander-style house and swimming pool.
On the eastern side of Maleny, the views stretch from Moreton Island to Noosa and back to the hinterland.
Not many character Queenslanders come to the market in Maleny and this six-bedroom home has been in the same family for 38 years.
Yet the 8.96ha property also offers the chance to build a new home that would be a real eye-catcher.
This grand home boasts traditional features including raised ceilings, tongue-and-groove walls, an enclosed veranda that hugs three-quarters of the upper level and a cosy fireplace. There's even an old wood stove in the kitchen to add to its authentic charm.
A country-style, galley kitchen flows into the dining area, while the lounge links with the enclosed veranda before integrating with a large, al-fresco deck.
The hexagonal sunroom is a place to immerse yourself in views of an ever-changing landscape and a diversity of birdlife.
Downstairs, a vast rumpus room flows out to a tree-lined patio, while outdoors, a pool is on hand to tempt you.
Three bedrooms are upstairs and three downstairs - all with panoramic views.
The two upstairs bathrooms are set against lush gardens, with one boasting a circular spa encased by vast glass windows.
Other features include a solar hot-water system, two-bay shed with attached workshop, outdoor shower room, unused dairy stable plus a high-quality bore, perpetual spring, a creek and substantial rainwater storage.
The home is also serviced by two large Breezair natural cooling systems.
