Location
Maleny sits high on the Blackall Range in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, where rolling green pastures open onto sweeping views of the Glass House Mountains. Its cooler climate, dairy-farming heritage and pockets of lush rainforest give the town a character all of its own.
Maple Street is the heart of the village, lined with independent cafés, galleries, bookshops and boutiques, while the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve protects a stretch of subtropical rainforest right on the town's doorstep. Lake Baroon and the Obi Obi Creek add walking tracks, picnic spots and quiet places to paddle.
Homes range from character Queenslanders in the township to acreage and lifestyle properties across the surrounding ridges, drawing families, creatives and tree-changers who want space and a genuine sense of community while staying within easy reach of the coast.
