Head for the beach, do a little shopping in Noosa, or explore your own backyard at Kondalilla National Park.The home has been artfully crafted to make the most of its tranquil setting and boasts a 100,000+ interior design package. You’ll be able to enjoy all the busy attractions of the Sunshine Coast and know that there’s a magnificent retreat waiting for you at the end of the day on the fringe of the rainforest.
The Endeavour Lottery anniversary draw is always one of the most popular draws of the year so be sure to get your tickets in # 421 to secure your chance of winning this impeccable hinterland home.
Living in Montville
The village of Montville is located on the Blackall Range in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. Because the area is about 400 metres above sea level, you’ll enjoy spectacular views from the town lookout. Even though it only has about 1,000 residents, Montville welcomes visitors with an information center, several nice cafes, gourmet restaurants and a microbrewery. People come here to get away from the city, tour the wineries, and unwind in the natural beauty of the area’s parks and reserves. The prize home is just minutes from Main Street with its heritage listed building, specialty shops and galleries. Montville is also becoming a popular place for weddings, so don’t be surprised if you see the occasional bride and groom stopping in for a pint at the pub.
Within minutes of town you’ll find places to hike, boat, fish and swim. Try taking to the water at the Barron Pocket Dam or take a dip at Kondalilla Falls. The national park is known for its swimming holes and dozens of species of birds that can be seen (and heard) from the well-maintained walking tracks.
When you get the urge for sand and surf, the beaches are just half-an-hour away. Go directly across to Mooloolaba, wander south to Bribie Island or head north to Noosa. In every direction you’ll find a full range of water sports, golf courses, amusement parks and family-friendly attractions.
A Classic Queenslander Home
The prize home in draw 421 is a picture-perfect Queenslander with a wrap-around veranda, muted blue façade and timbered decking. The main entry opens onto a very spacious living area that features another expanse of unblemished hardwood flooring. The integrated kitchen, lounge and dining room are all filled with an abundance of natural light, enhanced by a gleaming white décor and colourful accent pieces.
The well laid-out kitchen has a walk-in pantry, a huge central island and masses of cupboard space. Alongside, the interior dining area can comfortably seat eight guests. The living room has a fireplace with a flat-screen television mounted above it and both can be enjoyed if you’re working in the kitchen. If you need a bit of privacy or want to catch up on your social media, there’s an enclosed study with casual furnishings and access to the veranda.
If you like watching movies, you couldn’t find a better set-up. A wall-sized double-sided screen lets you enjoy a film in the media room or outside on the alfresco. Watch under the stars or take the party inside when the weather’s not cooperating. The alfresco also has two separate seating areas, a professional-grade gas BBQ and a full dining table.
The master bedroom has a walk-through robe leading to a gracious ensuite with both a shower and soaking tub. It’s situated at the back of the residence near the alfresco, giving the room privacy from the other three bedrooms that are located beyond the media room. These share a central bathroom and there’s a separate laundry room near the entrance to the two-car garage. The garage can be accessed from the interior of the home so there’s no need to get wet if it’s raining!
