About this property
Eco Lodge Mapleton
Dramatic sustainable house designed for relaxed holiday living by Mapleton local Philip Boorman who has many awards for his outstanding Architectural work and furniture designs.
Located on the escarpment in the centre of the 125 acre site. This privileged isolation has allowed the house design to be opened to the expansive surrounding valley and mountains by the extensive use of timber framed bi-fold doors and windows. Solar panels generate the power supply and roof water is collected in tanks for filtered reuse within the home.
The original survey plan of 1904 noted:
"All the country here on shown is of an Extremely Rugged and Broken nature."
This rugged landscape has protected the area from encroachment by subdivisions for over 100 years, providing flora and fauna with largely undisturbed area for species listed as endangered, such as the Coxen Fig-Parrot and the Regent Honey eater, to thrive.
Location
The Lodge is located 3 mins to the mountain village of Mapleton and:
10 mins to the vibrant village of Montville
30 mins to the world famous Eumundi Markets
30 mins to the beaches of the Sunshine Coast - Coolum Beach, Maroochydore, Alexandra Headlands and Mooloolaba
40 mins to Noosa
1.5 hrs to the north of Brisbane

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mary and Warwick Grace
My husband and I love this property so peaceful with stunning views of the Obi ObI Valley. I am from UK coming as a fiancee for the first time to Australia to have a exciting adventure in this Great Southland. My husband is from PNG born of missionary parents. We met in Israel working on a kibbutz back in 1985. My husband has worked in horticulture all his life and I am most interested in native species for habitat. The lodge has been a part of his work for 20 years.
Why they chose this property
The 1km driveway is part of the Great Walks with a track down to Baxter's Falls. It takes you into another world. A wonderful escape from city life! Turn off your phones and devices and drink it in.
What makes this property unique
The property is most unique with no other homes in view you are in the beautiful bush, which the house is a part of. It is an exceptional design that has a wonderful outdoor feel as you open the bi-fold windows and doors and take in the scenery.
