Tucked away in the heart of the Conondale Valley is ‘Bundaroo Station’, a private oasis wrapped in a cocoon of lush foliage and serene landscapes, uninterrupted by modern infrastructure. With over a century-long legacy of meticulous care, this original 392-acre parcel of farming land proudly crowns the Sunshine Coast, its sprawling expanse framed by panoramic views of the majestic Conondale State Forest and the striking Booloumba Falls.
Exuding an aura of tranquil seclusion, Bundaroo Station whispers tales of its past life as a cattle station, offering the rare privilege to preserve a slice of Australia’s vibrant history. Its centrepiece, an authentic Queenslander homestead dating back to the 1920s, that has a 5kW solar system, and is enveloped within a sprawling 1 1/2-acre fence that houses a four-bay shed.
The property’s topography is a study in natural grace, its mostly level terrain gradually undulating into steep mountain ranges, the southern boundary dissolving into the verdant arms of the Conondale Ranges. Pockets of hardwood and red cedar stand tall amid the forest, gum and apple trees on the flats, while Moreton Bay ash, bloodwood, ironbark, tallowwood, and spotted gum contribute to the rich botanical tableau.
Bundaroo Station is an ode to the fertile beauty of nature, its soils ranging from deep alluvials near the creek to moderate loamy soils in the heart. Sustained by local rainfall, springs, and two running creeks, the land is an evergreen sanctuary. The two-thirds cleared for grazing are an echo of its pastoral past, framed by Grigor Road, Dr Page Road, and the main junction Maleny-Kenilworth Road.
The property stands as an invitation to the unspoiled treasures of the Conondale State Forest, a vibrant habitat known for its lush rainforest vegetation, red deer, diverse bushwalks, cascading waterfalls, camping grounds, and awe-inspiring vistas (www.exploreconondales.com).
With its dual road frontage and 100 acres of personal rainforest, Bundaroo Station is a rare gem for those in pursuit of a secluded paradise nestled in the foothills of the Sunshine Coast. The land brims with potential – become the custodian of a guesthouse or an eco-tourism venture, continue the tradition of grazing on the cleared lands, or simply bask in the privacy of this stunning haven of flora and fauna.
Amongst the whispers of the wind and rustle of leaves, you’ll find a sanctuary for wildlife such as kangaroos and a variety of bird species, hinting at the potential for an eco-lifestyle resort. Despite its peaceful seclusion, coastal infrastructure and beaches are a mere 45 minutes away, with Maleny and Kenilworth equidistant. ‘Bundaroo Station’ is more than a property, it’s a lifestyle rooted in nature, privacy, and the simple joys of life.
