Situated at the secluded and tightly held end of Hunchy Road in the beautiful Montville and Palmwoods regions of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, this remarkable property enjoys breathtaking ocean and hinterland views. This property is a perfect mix of family home, modern architecture with extreme “wow” factor, complete privacy with no neighbours in site, and essentially your very own national park, with endless bushwalks and waterfalls to call your own. Adventures beyond the house allow one to enter a timeless and magical rainforest sanctuary. The house is filled with sunlight, native birdsong and cool breezes. The natural helipad in front of the house is even frequented by a mountain wallaby.
The vast spaciousness, the sunrises over the ocean, the pool and the privacy – ‘Hunchy House’ is an absolute paradise.
Designed by acclaimed architect Brian Donovan and interpreted by the builder and owner in 1991, the home embodies the essence of rural living, a harmonious blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and connection to the landscape. The orientation and positioning of the home reveal themselves through expansive vistas that greet you at the entrance from the moment you step inside. The house was designed with the 360 views in mind. Floor to ceiling windows span parts of the house, to the west presenting the escarpment, to the east the ocean and in between country and forest vistas. The long, thin shape of the house has been designed with this in mind.
Natural light floods the interiors, accentuating the beauty of the timber finishes and creating a sense of warmth and homeliness.
The kitchen is a generous size with ample storage and well connected to the living and family rooms, where high ceilings and gentle breezes cultivate an inviting sense of space. The floors, crafted from a blend of rich Brush Box and other local ethically sourced hardwoods, add texture, warmth, and timeless appeal throughout.
Four beautifully appointed bedrooms offer peaceful sanctuaries, each with windows framing the surrounding landscape. The main bedroom, located at the southern end of the home, features an ensuite filled with natural light and serene garden and bush outlooks with a floor to ceiling shower window, the perfect, private parent’s retreat to unwind.
Upstairs, a spacious and secluded office enjoys sweeping views across the valley to the coastline, creating a truly inspiring setting to work or reflect, this room has also been used as a fifth bedroom.
This property also offers fantastic income-earning potential, having previously operated as a popular Airbnb for guests seeking a tranquil countryside escape – sleeping 14. A separate self-contained building with a carport includes its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area – ideal for extended family, a permanent rental, or holiday accommodation.
This is a perfect family home with a large sand pit, pool and plenty of space to roam: kids and teenagers love this space. One family has owned this property since it was built and are sad to say goodbye to it, but they wish for another family or rural enthusiasts to come in and make it their own.
The grounds are thoughtfully designed with a chicken coop, raised vegetables plots, garden shed, farm supplies rack, ride on mower shed, workshop/garage, three car carport, cattle or horse yards, fencing and cattle grids, and ample space for livestock, blending lifestyle with rural living. All this, just minutes from the charming townships of Montville and Palmwoods, where boutique shops, cafes and schools are within easy reach. There’s also a school bus a walk away from the house that services the coastal schools.
