A picturesque dual-living retreat nestled in the Sunshine Coast hinterland is offering buyers the chance to own a slice of serenity, complete with its own rainforest, waterfalls and ancient rockpools.
Known as Hidden Valley, the 3.5-hectare property boasts two homes, a pool, sauna, large shed and scenic walking tracks that wind through lush rainforest.
Located at 69 Jillian Road, Diamond Valley, the main house offers three bedrooms with an additional loft and two bathrooms, while a caretaker’s cottage contains a bedroom, bathroom and full-size kitchen.
Tristan Kurz from Homestead Prestige said the property was “one of a kind” and offered “total and utter serenity”.
“From the moment you turn down Jillian Road it feels like you’ve been transported to another planet,” Mr Kurz said.
“The surrounding bushland and wildlife across the entire property are simply amazing.
“There are ancient waterfalls that run through the very middle of the property, and there are walking tracks that take you right to the top of them.
“Even as an adult, you feel like a child exploring where you will discover ethereal areas like the Garden of Tranquillity.”
Mr Kurz said the property was originally built as a Buddhist retreat and that some of those remnants are there today.
“The whole property is a real treasure trove. As you walk around the block you discover many incredible things, even down to the beauty of the hand-laid stone for the steps that take you up to the main house.
“It is truly special, not just from the surrounding environment but for what’s been built there.”
A new addition to the property is a creekside outdoor bathtub.
“The current owners have done some fantastic alterations to the property and the highlight is a magnificent outdoor bath that has been installed next to the creek where you can lie back and just take it all in.”
Mr Kurz said Hidden Valley was ideal for families, investors or anyone dreaming of lifestyle change, to be enjoyed as is or renovated.
“We see this property resonating with someone who’s looking for a change in life – perhaps those looking to get out of the city or for a complete change of lifestyle,” he said.
“It would be impossible not to live there and not have a complete change of mindset.”
Mr Kurz said the property’s dual-living benefits were ideal for generational families or as an opportunity to rent out the cottage for extra income.
No.69 Jillian Road, Diamond Valley, can be viewed via private inspection or during a scheduled guided walk where interested buyers can see key aspects of the property.
“The tour goes for an hour, and you have to wear enclosed shoes. We take you up to the waterfalls, past the rockpools, we go through the Garden of Tranquillity – the whole lot,” he said.
The property is listed for offers above $1.59 million.
