The eastern Australian state with more than 4,000 miles of coastland offers renovated waterfront apartments, federation-style houses and rural multi-acre estates.

This sprawling five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath house sits on six acres in Eumundi, a rural town of 2,500 in the Noosa Hinterland of Queensland’s Suncoast Region. Historically an agricultural area, Eumundi still has original buildings from the 1800s. These days, it’s known for the artisanal Eumundi market — the largest in Australia, with more than 600 kiosks selling handmade, hand-sewn, home-baked and homegrown products.

The town offers a child-care center, a primary school, a bakery, cafes, an aquatic center with swimming pools, a gym and a tennis club. The 15-room Imperial Hotel has a beer garden, a pub-style restaurant and live music, and offers tours of its brewery. Twenty minutes from the house, Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street have resorts, cafes, bars, surf stores, gift shops, day spas and galleries. Sunshine Coast Airport is less than 30 minutes away.

Indoors: An electronic gate opens to a long concrete driveway that stretches past two ponds and a fountain. A nearly 10-foot-high octagonal foyer branches out to the home’s living, sleeping and alfresco areas. The home has wide-plank mahogany flooring and ducted air-conditioning.

An entertaining area includes a multilevel home theater, a large family room with a wood-burning fireplace and a separate study nook. The expansive open living room, dining room and kitchen has a large angled island with a hood and shelves for decorative items.

For privacy, the en suite primary bedroom is on the opposite side of the house. It has French doors, a walk-in closet and a classic white bathroom. The suite opens to a wraparound deck. Another en suite bedroom has a round soaker tub and access to a veranda.

Off the main living room, a children’s wing has a family bathroom, a powder room and two bedrooms. On the lower level, a separate guest studio has a kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom.
