19 Manley Drive, Montville, Qld, 4560

Known​ ​as​ ​Wongawilli,​ ​this​ ​established​ ​Montville​ ​estate​ ​offers​ ​a​ ​rare​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​privacy​ ​and​ ​maturity,​ ​held​ ​quietly​ ​across​ ​two​ ​adjoining​ ​titles​ ​and​ ​experienced​ ​as​ ​a​ ​single​ ​residential​ ​property.

The​ ​home​ ​was​ ​designed​ ​and​ ​occupied​ ​as​ ​a​ ​long-term​ ​private​ ​residence,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​clear​ ​emphasis​ ​on​ ​proportion,​ ​longevity​ ​and​ ​connection​ ​to​ ​its​ ​setting.​ ​European​ ​influences—most​ ​notably​ ​French—are​ ​present​ ​in​ ​the​ ​detailing​ ​and​ ​materials,​ ​yet​ ​the​ ​overall​ ​feel​ ​remains​ ​grounded​ ​and​ ​relaxed,​ ​well​ ​suited​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Sunshine​ ​Coast​ ​Hinterland​ ​climate.​ ​Lime-rendered​ ​walls,​ ​travertine​ ​floors,​ ​rosewood​ ​doors​ ​and​ ​windows,​ ​and​ ​finely​ ​crafted​ ​ironwork​ ​create​ ​interiors​ ​that​ ​are​ ​calm,​ ​tactile​ ​and​ ​enduring.

Living​ ​spaces​ ​open​ ​directly​ ​to​ ​limestone​ ​terraces​ ​and​ ​garden​ ​rooms,​ ​allowing​ ​the​ ​landscape​ ​to​ ​remain​ ​a​ ​constant​ ​presence​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​home.​ ​Bedrooms​ ​are​ ​generous​ ​in​ ​scale,​ ​complemented​ ​by​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​study​ ​and​ ​flexible​ ​spaces​ ​that​ ​support​ ​quiet​ ​retreat,​ ​creative​ ​use​ ​or​ ​hosting​ ​guests.​ ​Transitions​ ​between​ ​indoor​ ​and​ ​outdoor​ ​living​ ​are​ ​effortless,​ ​from​ ​poolside​ ​afternoons​ ​to​ ​evenings​ ​by​ ​the​ ​fireplace.

The​ ​gardens​ ​are​ ​central​ ​to​ ​Wongawilli's​ ​character.​ ​Designed​ ​and​ ​planted​ ​over​ ​decades​ ​by​ ​the​ ​owner,​ ​a​ ​qualified​ ​horticulturist,​ ​they​ ​have​ ​evolved​ ​naturally​ ​rather​ ​than​ ​to​ ​a​ ​fixed​ ​plan.​ ​Rare​ ​and​ ​unusual​ ​species​ ​sit​ ​comfortably​ ​alongside​ ​familiar​ ​plantings,​ ​creating​ ​layered​ ​spaces​ ​rich​ ​in​ ​scent,​ ​texture​ ​and​ ​seasonal​ ​change.​ ​Stone​ ​paths,​ ​drystone​ ​walls​ ​formed​ ​from​ ​on-site​ ​basalt,​ ​water​ ​features​ ​and​ ​secluded​ ​seating​ ​areas​ ​introduce​ ​a​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​discovery​ ​and​ ​calm,​ ​with​ ​established​ ​canopy,​ ​birdsong​ ​and​ ​filtered​ ​light​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​day.

Despite​ ​its​ ​estate-like​ ​seclusion,​ ​Wongawilli​ ​remains​ ​only​ ​minutes​ ​from​ ​Montville​ ​village,​ ​cafés,​ ​restaurants​ ​and​ ​walking​ ​tracks.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​property​ ​shaped​ ​by​ ​time,​ ​care​ ​and​ ​lived​ ​experience—quietly​ ​individual,​ ​deeply​ ​considered,​ ​and​ ​increasingly​ ​difficult​ ​to​ ​replicate.
