Police said two of the firearms were loaded and not secured and some were unregistered.
Drugs including methylamphetamine, cannabis buds and plants were also seized at the address.
The 34-year-old man has been charged with 21 offences including weapons and drugs charges.
They include unlawful possession of weapons, insecure storage of weapons, fail to store ammunition in a secured area, and possessing dangerous drugs.
The man also faces traffic offences such as dangerous operation of a vehicle, disobeying the speed limit, and evasion.
A 61-year-old Millstream woman was also charged with one count each of possess dangerous drugs and producing dangerous drugs.
The man and woman are both expected to appear in the Atherton Magistrates Court on March 21.
