With lush gardens and orchards, captivating lake views, abundant birdlife and a beautiful family or dual living home, this special property is a hinterland haven that will capture your heart and soothe your soul. From the moment you drive through the stately electric entrance gates, you are overcome with a sense of peace and wonderment - Maleny Haven is your invitation to slow down, unwind and reconnect with nature. The main residence has a flexible, flowing floorplan that can serve as a spacious five bedroom home or as three bedrooms plus a self-contained flat for extended family, renting, guest accommodation or home businesses. The possibilities are as endless as the views and the serenity! All on one level - perfect for low-maintenance living, the home boasts high ceilings, timeless timber-look floors and breathtaking views of the gardens and nearby lake from the wraparound windows and deck. A central contemporary kitchen features a large island, stone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, pyrolytic oven and gas cooktop, large walk in pantry, dual sink with filtered water and pendant lighting. The kitchen overlooks the light filled living room, dining room, sitting/media room and alfresco entertaining deck. With spectacular 'borrowed' views across the vast neighbouring lake, the deck is made for entertaining, relaxing and marvelling at the Maleny mists, sweet sunrises and melodic birdsong. The private master has dual wardrobes, direct main bathroom access and leafy vistas, while two additional bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, ceiling fans and garden views. The modern main bathroom comprises a large 1200mm glass shower, spa bath, heating and a convenient separate toilet. On the other side of the home are a further two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, open plan living, kitchenette, bathroom with laundry provisions and a patio overlooking the private dam. With its own entrance and separate power meter, this section is perfectly suited for renting, dual living, guest/teen quarters or home businesses. Step outside and you'll find lush landscaped lawns, terraced gardens and orchards overflowing with lemons, mulberries, mangoes, bananas, grapefruit and passionfruit. The sweet life! There is also a large spring fed dam with a delightful bridge crossing leading to the firepit and the MOST divine Japanese gardens. Among the Japanese gardens is an idyllic teahouse pagoda (chashitsu) overlooking a lily pond - a truly tranquil zen oasis. Wherever you are in the garden, you can bask in the song and the show of the native egrets, cormorants, ducks and honeyeaters. Outside also has a 9m x 9m triple garage/workshop with slab floor, skylights, oversized doors and a side entrance door beside the house and a double carport that could be covered for cars, boats or caravans or utilised as a greenhouse. Sustainability and resource management are assured with a 6kw, 24 panel solar system (with inverter and switchgear for selling back power to the grid) and a spring fed dam that provides water to the pressurised water reticulation system connected to the house, orchards, gardens and pond. No water worries here! Security is also sorted with steel electric entry gates with solar backup and solar lighting.
