Maleny 20 Byrne Lane

A Timeless Hinterland Sanctuary of Character, Elegance and Natural Beauty

Privately nestled amongst beautifully established gardens in one of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's most enchanting settings, 20 Byrne Lane is a remarkable residence where timeless architectural character, thoughtful modern improvements and the tranquillity of nature come together.

Rich in history and individuality, this captivating home showcases exquisite period features, including original leadlight glass windows and doors sourced from Brisbane's historic Petrie Mansions on Petrie Terrace. Solid timber internal doors, many also originating from the former landmark venue, feature beautiful period detailing and traditional door furniture, creating an unmistakable sense of warmth and character throughout.

Complementing these heritage elements are polished solid timber floors throughout the home, generous proportions, extensive storage and an exceptional collection of modern improvements.

The current owners have invested approximately $800,000 in renovations, modern improvements and upgrades, carefully enhancing the property's comfort, functionality and presentation while preserving its unique character.

At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen combines contemporary convenience with timeless elegance. Featuring striking LED illuminated granite benchtops, streamlined push to open cabinetry, a steam oven, pyrolytic oven and speed oven, it has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

Four generous bifold windows and double French doors open the kitchen to the surrounding verandah and outdoor entertaining areas, creating a seamless connection between indoor and alfresco living.

The expansive wraparound verandah, finished with polished solid timber decking and beautifully restored wrought iron detailing, provides an idyllic setting to relax, entertain or simply appreciate the surrounding gardens and peaceful hinterland atmosphere.

Comfort is assured with zoned ducted air conditioning and a wood burning fireplace, while extensive improvements to the home's infrastructure include upgraded electrical systems, a new hot water system, a three stage water filtration and UV purification system, and a new onsite sewage management system.

Gardens That Have Been Lovingly Established Over Time

The grounds are a destination in themselves.

A magnificent collection of established magnolias, camellias, azaleas, agapanthus, bromeliads, poinciana trees, Australian natives and carefully maintained privacy hedges creates a series of beautiful garden settings throughout the property.

Numerous fruit trees add to the property's appeal, while majestic hoop pines provide natural protection from the western sun.

Wandering through the grounds towards the lower boundary reveals a wonderful connection with the natural environment surrounding Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, where native birds, pademelons and other local wildlife contribute to the sense of peace and seclusion.

The property is fully fenced, with separate fencing and gates around the residence and along the property's boundaries. Water taps are conveniently positioned throughout the grounds to assist with garden maintenance.

A Substantial Separate Cottage with Exceptional Versatility

Adding another dimension to this outstanding property is the impressive separate white cottage, measuring approximately 18 metres by 8 metres.

Fully insulated and internally lined, this substantial building features timber flooring, fitted cabinetry and two air conditioning units, offering an exceptionally versatile space for a range of potential uses.

A garage door at one end provides the opportunity to partition a dedicated garage area if desired, while the generous remaining space could accommodate hobbies, creative pursuits, storage or other uses, subject to relevant approvals.

Practicality has been carefully considered throughout the property, with internal stairs providing access beneath the main residence to a covered car space, and an additional set of external stairs offering convenient access to the shed.
An outdoor bathroom provides further convenience for those working in the gardens or maintaining the grounds.

An Opportunity to Enjoy or Explore Holiday Accommodation

Beyond its appeal as a private hinterland residence, the property may also offer potential for short term holiday accommodation, subject to the necessary approvals and regulatory requirements.

The owners are open to leaving the beautiful period furniture in place, providing an opportunity for a purchaser to retain the home's distinctive presentation and potentially establish a furnished accommodation offering with minimal additional furnishing requirements.

A regular cleaner and groundsman currently assist with maintaining the residence and its beautifully established grounds.

A John Deere 360 ride on mower, complete with trailer, roof shade and spray barrel, is also included to assist with ongoing property maintenance.
