19 Manley Drive

Known as Wongawilli, this established Montville property centres around an architecturally designed residence set on 8,672m² (2.14 acres) of beautifully established gardens. For buyers seeking additional space, privacy or future flexibility, an adjoining vacant title of 5,129m² (1.27 acres) is also available for purchase, either in conjunction with the residence or following the sale of the home site. The home was designed and occupied as a long-term private residence, with a clear emphasis on proportion, longevity and connection to its setting. European influences, most notably French, are present in the detailing and materials, yet the overall feel remains grounded and relaxed, well suited to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland climate. Lime-rendered walls, travertine floors, rosewood doors and windows, and finely crafted ironwork create interiors that are calm, tactile and enduring. Living spaces open directly to limestone terraces and garden rooms, allowing the landscape to remain a constant presence throughout the home. Bedrooms are generous in scale, complemented by a separate study and flexible spaces that support quiet retreat, creative use or hosting guests. Transitions between indoor and outdoor living are effortless, from poolside afternoons to evenings by the fireplace. The gardens are central to Wongawilli's character. Designed and planted over decades by the owner, a qualified horticulturist, they have evolved naturally rather than to a fixed plan. Rare and unusual species sit comfortably alongside familiar plantings, creating layered spaces rich in scent, texture and seasonal change. Stone paths, drystone walls formed from on-site basalt, water features and secluded seating areas introduce a sense of discovery and calm, with established canopy, birdsong and filtered light throughout the day. Despite its estate-like seclusion, Wongawilli remains only minutes from Montville village, cafés, restaurants and walking tracks. It stands today as a rare example of what can be achieved when architecture, landscape and time are allowed to work together.
