"Rowan House" 36 Rowan Lane Mount Mellum, QLD 4550 - Elegance anchored in history

Allister Millican and Joel Bissett of Ray White Maleny are proud to introduce 'Rowan House,' an award-winning French-inspired estate majestically perched atop the Sunshine Coast Hinterland at 36 Rowan Lane, Mount Mellum.

Exquisitely positioned to capture sweeping, uninterrupted vistas stretching from Noosa Heads across the stunning coastal plains to Brisbane, with coastal views stretching across Moreton and Bribie Islands, Rowan House embodies timeless elegance and luxurious tranquillity. This landmark property, set within approximately 1.58 hectares (15,820 m²) of meticulously landscaped gardens, offers an unparalleled lifestyle for those seeking sophistication, serenity, and space.

An architectural masterpiece inspired by 1940s chalet design, this extraordinary residence spans three opulent levels, seamlessly blending historical charm with contemporary functionality. Awarded prestigious accolades, including the coveted 'House of the Year,' Rowan House effortlessly captivates from the moment you arrive.

Steeped in history and storytelling, the main residence features five spacious bedrooms, four lavish bathrooms, and two dedicated studies, each room thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light, take in the breathtaking views, and showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Character-filled elements such as the grand stone fireplace, classic dormer windows, hardwood timber floors, and a magnificent full-length verandah create a sense of grace and warmth rarely found in contemporary builds.

The property also includes a separate, fully self-contained cottage - ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or private rental - as well as a four-car garage that offers secure, oversized parking and workshop capability for the collector, craftsman or adventurer. Outside, the estate continues to impress with a sparkling in-ground pool, full-size tennis court, and lush gardens that change with the seasons. The expansive grounds provide both a sense of arrival and complete privacy, making it a destination in its own right.

Currently offered as an exclusive short-stay retreat, Rowan House invites discerning guests to step into a slower rhythm - where the prestige of an award-winning residence is matched by its ability to feel like home. This is a property not just of grand proportions, but of true legacy - a once-in-a-generation offering where future memories will be written against the backdrop of timeless elegance.

Despite its elevated hinterland seclusion, Rowan House enjoys a rare and enviable connection to the best of the Sunshine Coast lifestyle. In approximately 25 minutes, your world shifts from misty mountain mornings to the golden sands of the sunshine coast beaches, Mooloolaba, and the coastline beyond where cafés, marinas, and surf breaks await. This is a home that allows you to retreat to the hills without retreating from life; close enough to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast's commercial hubs for effortless access, yet far enough away to feel completely removed. Here, fresh mountain air, panoramic horizons, and deep tranquillity coexist with coastal spontaneity and city convenience, a balance so seldom achieved, and so deeply coveted.

Rowan House represents more than just a home; it is a narrative of beauty, heritage, and lifestyle distinction brought to life in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
