Glass House macadamia lifestyle

Located on Sahara Road in the Glass House Mountains, Glass House macadamia farm will be auctioned by Ray White Rural on September 11.

The highly regarded operation is located about an hour from Brisbane, 30 minutes from Caloundra's beaches, and 30 minutes from Maleny and Montville.

The award winning home captures the stunning views of the beautiful Glass House Mountains and its 1900 tree macadamia orchard.

The home was constructed of structural steel with hidden down pipes, Colourbond cladding, louvred windows and large sliding doors for air flow.

There is also a bitumen driveway, rainwater tanks, a solar hot water and a large raised fishpond. The home is also air conditioned, has a floating staircase and two bathrooms, including an ensuite.

The home designed by Annie Har, Summit Architects, was named the 2004 Sunshine Coast House of the Year.

"It had to be something really special which reflected her clients' individuality and had to touch the unexpected," Ms Har said.

"The freedom of the space and the desire to get vistas to the mountains enabled her to design such a house."

The home has expansive blackbutt hardwood flooring, expansive rooms, high ceilings and makes great use of natural light and views. The grand entry with solid doors leads to an expansive living and dining area, designer kitchen three bedrooms, and an office.

There are two decks offering stunning views across the orchard to the Glass House Mountains.

The house has also been designed to accommodate a lift, if required.

The farm features 1900 macadamia trees, up to 40 years of age. The well drained, rich volcanic soils are described as ideal for macadamia production.

The large shed complex includes a processing shed, machinery shed and workshop, and car shed.
