95 Mountain View Road, Maleny, Qld, 4552

SHALIMAR​ ​-​ ​95​ ​Mountain​ ​View​ ​Road,​ ​Maleny

An​ ​Architectural​ ​Masterpiece.​ ​An​ ​Irreplaceable​ ​View.​ ​A​ ​Home​ ​Without​ ​Equal.

There​ ​are​ ​properties​ ​that​ ​impress,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​there​ ​are​ ​properties​ ​that​ ​leave​ ​an​ ​indelible​ ​impression.

Shalimar​ ​belongs​ ​firmly​ ​in​ ​the​ ​latter.

Privately​ ​positioned​ ​on​ ​approximately​ ​1,416m²​ ​in​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Maleny's​ ​most​ ​extraordinary​ ​settings,​ ​Shalimar​ ​is​ ​a​ ​residence​ ​of​ ​rare​ ​architectural​ ​presence.​ ​Commanding​ ​a​ ​prized​ ​north-facing​ ​position,​ ​it​ ​brings​ ​together​ ​exceptional​ ​design,​ ​remarkable​ ​build​ ​quality,​ ​established​ ​gardens​ ​and​ ​a​ ​breath-taking​ ​panorama​ ​across​ ​the​ ​Glass​ ​House​ ​Mountains,​ ​Moreton​ ​Bay​ ​and,​ ​on​ ​a​ ​clear​ ​day,​ ​towards​ ​Brisbane.

It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​view​ ​that​ ​doesn't​ ​simply​ ​belong​ ​to​ ​the​ ​home.​ ​It​ ​defines​ ​it.

Beautifully​ ​established​ ​Asian-inspired​ ​gardens​ ​frame​ ​the​ ​approach,​ ​creating​ ​privacy​ ​and​ ​anticipation​ ​before​ ​the​ ​residence​ ​reveals​ ​itself.​ ​Water,​ ​stone,​ ​mature​ ​landscaping​ ​and​ ​carefully​ ​considered​ ​sightlines​ ​establish​ ​an​ ​immediate​ ​relationship​ ​between​ ​architecture​ ​and​ ​nature.

Step​ ​inside​ ​and​ ​the​ ​impact​ ​is​ ​extraordinary.

Soaring​ ​ceilings​ ​create​ ​an​ ​immense​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​volume,​ ​while​ ​vast​ ​expanses​ ​of​ ​glass​ ​flood​ ​the​ ​interiors​ ​with​ ​northern​ ​light​ ​and​ ​capture​ ​the​ ​landscape​ ​from​ ​seemingly​ ​every​ ​angle.​ ​Mountains,​ ​gardens,​ ​sky​ ​and​ ​distant​ ​coastline​ ​become​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​interior​ ​experience.

The​ ​architecture​ ​doesn't​ ​compete​ ​with​ ​the​ ​view.​ ​It​ ​frames​ ​it.

Expansive​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​spaces​ ​balance​ ​impressive​ ​scale​ ​with​ ​warmth,​ ​anchored​ ​by​ ​a​ ​striking​ ​suspended​ ​fireplace.​ ​Generous​ ​living​ ​zones​ ​provide​ ​room​ ​to​ ​gather,​ ​while​ ​a​ ​dedicated​ ​library​ ​and​ ​office​ ​and​ ​separate​ ​studio​ ​create​ ​spaces​ ​to​ ​work,​ ​retreat​ ​or​ ​pursue​ ​creative​ ​interests.

At​ ​the​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home,​ ​the​ ​kitchen​ ​has​ ​been​ ​designed​ ​as​ ​a​ ​serious​ ​working​ ​environment​ ​for​ ​those​ ​who​ ​genuinely​ ​enjoy​ ​cooking​ ​and​ ​entertaining.

A​ ​substantial​ ​moveable​ ​centre​ ​island​ ​is​ ​complemented​ ​by​ ​induction​ ​cooking,​ ​separate​ ​gas​ ​wok,​ ​steam​ ​oven,​ ​warming​ ​tray,​ ​microwave​ ​and​ ​Zip​ ​HydroTap.​ ​A​ ​walk-in​ ​pantry,​ ​dedicated​ ​drinks​ ​drawers,​ ​glassware​ ​display​ ​cabinetry​ ​and​ ​extensive​ ​storage​ ​demonstrate​ ​the​ ​thought​ ​invested​ ​in​ ​how​ ​the​ ​space​ ​functions.

Nearby,​ ​a​ ​walk-in​ ​temperature-controlled​ ​wine​ ​room​ ​accommodating​ ​approximately​ ​500​ ​bottles​ ​creates​ ​an​ ​impressive​ ​environment​ ​for​ ​the​ ​collector​ ​and​ ​entertainer.

Accommodation​ ​comprises​ ​four​ ​bedrooms​ ​with​ ​excellent​ ​separation​ ​between​ ​family​ ​and​ ​guest​ ​spaces.​ ​The​ ​main​ ​suite​ ​is​ ​a​ ​sanctuary​ ​in​ ​every​ ​sense,​ ​with​ ​generous​ ​proportions,​ ​extensive​ ​storage,​ ​air​ ​conditioning​ ​and​ ​a​ ​beautifully​ ​appointed​ ​ensuite​ ​with​ ​freestanding​ ​bath.

Comfort​ ​and​ ​technology​ ​have​ ​been​ ​considered​ ​with​ ​equal​ ​attention​ ​to​ ​detail.​ ​Thermostatically​ ​controlled​ ​heated​ ​flooring​ ​extends​ ​through​ ​key​ ​areas​ ​including​ ​the​ ​kitchen,​ ​living​ ​room,​ ​downstairs​ ​bathroom,​ ​main​ ​ensuite​ ​and​ ​studio.​ ​Air​ ​conditioning​ ​services​ ​the​ ​principal​ ​living​ ​spaces,​ ​main​ ​bedroom​ ​and​ ​studio,​ ​while​ ​vacuum​ ​maid,​ ​security​ ​and​ ​intercom,​ ​LED​ ​lighting,​ ​ethernet​ ​connectivity​ ​and​ ​a​ ​dedicated​ ​server​ ​room​ ​further​ ​demonstrate​ ​the​ ​depth​ ​of​ ​planning​ ​behind​ ​the​ ​residence.

Outside,​ ​the​ ​architecture​ ​gives​ ​way​ ​to​ ​another​ ​of​ ​Shalimar's​ ​defining​ ​achievements:​ ​its​ ​gardens.

Established​ ​Asian-inspired​ ​landscaping​ ​surrounds​ ​the​ ​residence,​ ​while​ ​a​ ​reflection​ ​pool​ ​and​ ​waterfall​ ​introduce​ ​the​ ​movement​ ​and​ ​sound​ ​of​ ​water.​ ​Considered​ ​outdoor​ ​entertaining​ ​spaces​ ​provide​ ​beautiful​ ​places​ ​to​ ​gather,​ ​dine​ ​or​ ​simply​ ​take​ ​in​ ​the​ ​surroundings.

There​ ​is​ ​no​ ​abrupt​ ​transition​ ​between​ ​house​ ​and​ ​garden.​ ​Extensive​ ​glazing​ ​and​ ​the​ ​openness​ ​of​ ​the​ ​architecture​ ​allow​ ​one​ ​to​ ​flow​ ​naturally​ ​into​ ​the​ ​other,​ ​creating​ ​the​ ​genuine​ ​indoor-outdoor​ ​relationship​ ​that​ ​architecture​ ​often​ ​promises​ ​but​ ​rarely​ ​achieves​ ​so​ ​completely.

A​ ​dedicated​ ​gym​ ​and​ ​cedar-lined​ ​sauna​ ​further​ ​enhance​ ​the​ ​lifestyle​ ​offering,​ ​while​ ​approximately​ ​45,000​ ​litres​ ​of​ ​rainwater​ ​storage,​ ​integrated​ ​water​ ​filtration,​ ​solar​ ​power​ ​and​ ​a​ ​substantial​ ​double​ ​garage​ ​and​ ​workshop​ ​with​ ​internal​ ​access​ ​ensure​ ​Shalimar​ ​functions​ ​with​ ​the​ ​same​ ​confidence​ ​with​ ​which​ ​it​ ​presents.

But​ ​Shalimar​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​understood​ ​by​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​inclusions.

Its​ ​true​ ​distinction​ ​lies​ ​in​ ​how​ ​everything​ ​works​ ​together.

The​ ​way​ ​northern​ ​light​ ​moves​ ​through​ ​the​ ​home.​ ​The​ ​scale​ ​without​ ​excess.​ ​The​ ​relationship​ ​between​ ​architecture​ ​and​ ​garden.​ ​The​ ​craftsmanship​ ​that​ ​quietly​ ​underpins​ ​effortless​ ​living.​ ​And​ ​above​ ​all,​ ​the​ ​extraordinary​ ​landscape​ ​that​ ​remains​ ​ever​ ​present.

Living​ ​here​ ​means​ ​waking​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Glass​ ​House​ ​Mountains​ ​emerge​ ​through​ ​the​ ​morning​ ​mist.​ ​Preparing​ ​dinner​ ​with​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Queensland's​ ​most​ ​recognisable​ ​landscapes​ ​beyond​ ​the​ ​glass.​ ​Watching​ ​weather​ ​roll​ ​across​ ​the​ ​hinterland.​ ​Opening​ ​the​ ​home​ ​to​ ​the​ ​gardens​ ​on​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​Maleny​ ​afternoon.​ ​Entertaining​ ​as​ ​daylight​ ​disappears​ ​behind​ ​the​ ​mountains​ ​and​ ​the​ ​horizon​ ​begins​ ​to​ ​glow.

Some​ ​things​ ​simply​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​recreated.

Interiors​ ​can​ ​be​ ​redesigned.​ ​Gardens​ ​can​ ​be​ ​planted.​ ​Even​ ​extraordinary​ ​homes​ ​can,​ ​with​ ​enough​ ​time​ ​and​ ​investment,​ ​be​ ​built​ ​again.

But​ ​position​ ​cannot.

You​ ​cannot​ ​manufacture​ ​this​ ​outlook​ ​or​ ​replicate​ ​the​ ​relationship​ ​between​ ​the​ ​Glass​ ​House​ ​Mountains,​ ​Moreton​ ​Bay,​ ​the​ ​distant​ ​horizon​ ​and​ ​the​ ​landscape​ ​surrounding​ ​the​ ​home.

That​ ​is​ ​ultimately​ ​what​ ​makes​ ​Shalimar​ ​so​ ​compelling.

It​ ​is​ ​the​ ​convergence​ ​of​ ​position,​ ​orientation,​ ​architecture,​ ​craftsmanship,​ ​landscape​ ​and​ ​view​ ​in​ ​a​ ​single​ ​remarkable​ ​property.

For​ ​its​ ​next​ ​custodians,​ ​Shalimar​ ​represents​ ​far​ ​more​ ​than​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​acquire​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​residence.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​live​ ​somewhere​ ​that​ ​changes​ ​with​ ​the​ ​weather,​ ​seasons​ ​and​ ​light.​ ​Somewhere​ ​that​ ​feels​ ​removed​ ​from​ ​the​ ​world​ ​while​ ​remaining​ ​unmistakably​ ​connected​ ​to​ ​everything​ ​that​ ​makes​ ​Maleny​ ​extraordinary.

Shalimar​ ​is​ ​not​ ​simply​ ​a​ ​home​ ​with​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Hinterland's​ ​great​ ​views.

It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​home​ ​worthy​ ​of​ ​it.

Justin​ ​Smith,​ ​Katrina​ ​Harris-Smith,​ ​Team​ ​Smith​ ​and​ ​the​ ​team​ ​at​ ​Ray​ ​White​ ​Maleny​ ​are​ ​immensely​ ​proud​ ​to​ ​present​ ​Shalimar​ ​to​ ​the​ ​market​ ​and​ ​invite​ ​you​ ​to​ ​experience​ ​this​ ​extraordinary​ ​residence​ ​for​ ​yourself.

Welcome​ ​to​ ​Shalimar.
