Steeped in local history, this remarkable property traces its origins back to 1923, when much of Old Eagle Heights formed part of the expansive Red Marley Farm. The original farming family chose this elevated corner position for their residence, drawn by its level land and sweeping, uninterrupted views stretching north and east toward the ocean and surrounding forests.

Over the decades, Red Marley has welcomed several notable custodians, including John Chandler, Lord Mayor of Brisbane from 1940 to 1952, reinforcing the home's enduring connection to Queensland's history.

The residence continues to honour its early beginnings, with portions of the original cottage thoughtfully integrated into the current structure. 12-inch hoop pine wall linings remain visible, and it is believed some upper-floor panelling, along with the front door, was repurposed from a historic Beaudesert bank, adding further depth, character, and provenance.

Today, Red Marley stands as a rare offering, a home shaped by generations, positioned within one of Tamborine Mountain's most desirable areas, and enriched by a story that mirrors the region's transition from agricultural settlement to sought-after lifestyle destination.
