A Unique Multi-Dwelling 11450m2 Hinterland Oasis
on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast

Overview

Nestled in the picturesque Sunshine Coast hinterland, this unique sanctuary contains three very individual self-contained buildings, each positioned to maintain privacy across this 11,450 square metre property, while capitalising on the elevated gently-sloping hinterland landscape with views to the north.  Set back from the road, and just down the escarpment from beautiful Montville, (known for its weekend markets, wellness retreats and community lifestyle), this property includes not one, but three stunning self-contained dwellings, offering the best of relaxed rural lifestyle.

The three buildings, the Loft House, Yoga Retreat/Cabin, and Studio, are meticulously designed to harmonize with the breathtaking surroundings.  Each building, lovingly crafted with unique artisanship to give it its own personality, includes quality personal touches, showcasing the owner’s flair for industrial-meets-art-house artistic design in luxurious modern living. The property also includes an outdoor gym, fire-pit, and multiple eco-friendly touches, making it the perfect retreat for those seeking a lifestyle in balance with nature. 

As well as three self-contained buildings, the property includes a 13-metre long shed, plus an additional 2-bay shed. Adding to the property’s already substantial income-producing potential, a long-term tenant currently houses a ‘tiny home’ in a secluded corner of the grounds, further adding to yearly income gained from this stunning hinterland retreat.

With three very liveable buildings, two large sheds, a ‘tiny home’ rental area, and multiple artistic touches, this unique haven offers the successful purchaser not only a luxurious sea/tree change, but the flexibility to live an idyllic rural lifestyle with plenty of options for family and friends to visit or to generate substantial income from multiple rental opportunities across the property.
