A large hinterland sanctuary that boasts three living areas and an expansive studio is set to be sold.

DeZen Retreat, at No.31 De Zen Road in Palmview, has been put on the market via Remax Property Sales.

Real estate agent Chris Elliman said the property could be ideal for people seeking a high-end investment or a tranquil getaway.

“DeZen Retreat offers 15 hinterland acres of unparalleled opportunity for buyers seeking a unique, intimate space with endless potential,” he said.

He said the property’s owners Kristie and David Pelletier had fulfilled their goal of creating a space where guests could gather to celebrate, relax and rejuvenate.

“Kristie’s psychology background comes through in an environment that fosters meaningful connections and personal growth and David’s craftsmanship is evident throughout but particularly in the property’s versatile studio, ideal for yoga or dance classes, seminars or team-building workshops,” he said.

The property features a large studio space.

DeZen Retreat accommodates up to 12 guests, with three distinct living areas that strike a balance between shared experiences and private space.

There is also a separate three-bedroom area for caretakers, ensuring seamless service and care for any occasion.

The listing describes the property as a “resort-style rainforest-surrounded haven”.

“The decision to sell their cherished retreat has been a difficult one for Kristie and David,” Mr Elliman said.

“But they are committed to expanding the successful swim school business they founded in 2010.

“With the focus on growth of that business, they believe it is the right time to pass the property to new owners who can capitalise on the features and operate it to its fullest potential.”

The property is on the market for offers of more than $2.9 million.
