Description: Magnolia Lakehouse Maleny is a private architectural estate shaped around water, scale and natural beauty, with John Oliver rammed-earth provenance and unobstructed water views from all principal living spaces and bedrooms.
Imagine your greatest escape...
Then come home to it.
Set high in the rolling green hills, Magnolia Lakehouse Maleny exchanges urban outlooks for a spring-fed freshwater lake and abundant wildlife, the hot desk for a private Executive Office overlooking the water, and public entertainment for a private Stand-alone Theatre created for exceptional viewing and sound.
Privately positioned in Witta, within Queensland's Sunshine Coast Hinterland and just 9 mins from Maleny township, Magnolia Lakehouse Maleny feels blissfully secluded yet remains beautifully connected: the world-famous Irwin family 'Australia Zoo' 30 mins' drive, Sunshine Coast beaches from 40 mins, Sunshine Coast Airport 50 mins, Noosa 60 mins and Brisbane Airport 80 mins, traffic dependent.
A former prize home, the estate has been extended, restored and reimagined in collaboration with a leading Australian heritage architect, through a near seven-figure roof-to-ground internal and external program 2021-2023. The result is an elegant turnkey estate offering 650 sqm of combined floor and lifestyle area, plus pool surrounds and a 135 sqm cantilevered over-water deck, on circa 5,000 sqm of private grounds.
The estate includes considerable ownership of the spring-fed freshwater lake directly in front of the residence. This creates a rare sense of privacy, calm and natural theatre, with water, gardens and sky forming a constant visual connection throughout the home.
A John Oliver Original
At the heart of the home, the living zones have been reimagined for beauty, function and everyday ease. Remote blinds, custom doors, ripple-glass entry detail and layered lighting contribute to a home that feels serene, practical and luxurious.
The split-level Grand Room unfolds beneath cathedral ceilings, with rammed-earth textures, expansive glazing and a double-sided wood-burning fireplace. Entry and sitting spaces flow to media, dining, the fully renovated kitchen, new-build Butler's Pantry and lakeside Atrium.
