No words could ever do justice
to the magic & natural beauty of this 102 acre property that runs along
the top of Mt. Tamborine's eastern escarpment. Little wonder then that it
has been frequently used for scenery in a number of well known films including
Beastmaster & Kokoda. Yes, areas of this landscape made it possible to
create a setting as wild & beautiful as the Kokoda Trail!
Yet, it comprises so much more than just
magnificent rainforest, waterfalls, deep
pools & grand vistas! It also includes:
- Lush open pastures with fenced paddocks
for cattle as well as cattle yards
- The most adorable 1 bedroom log cabin
with all amenities including excellent
kitchen, spa tub & huge outdoor living
(built for a movie set & now the
owners’ permanent home)
- Superb water feature garden around
the log cabin
- Glorious walking trails following old
log snigging tracks
- View to the northern end of the Gold
Coast
- Unbelievable vistas along & over
Guanaba Gorge from certain vantage points
- Rainforest fringed creeks with water
so clear you can count the pebbles & so
still that you can see your own reflection
- A couple of excellent helicopter landing
sites
All
this magic is set against a backdrop of
virgin palm rainforest resplendent with
great Hoop Pines, Red Cedars & Strangler
Figs standing proud over the canopy. Untold
numbers of rare birds & native fauna
call this entire property home.
Undoubtedly, there will always be demand
for this land as a movie setting, yet it
also offers other opportunities to be more
than a private family retreat. While no
application for development has been submitted,
there seems to be general agreement that
some form of subdued tourism is its future.
Thoughts include traditional log cabin
accommodation, small conventions, weddings & the
like.
The magnificence & size of the property
seems to also suggest a genuine small 6
star resort for international tourists.
With O'Reilly's Lamington National Park
Resort now overrun with day trippers, this
property would offer an excellent alternative
venue for a low key, high comfort tourist
experience far removed from the crowded
experience available at Lamington National
Park.
As I said, words can not describe all
that is here! So please look at the extensive
Virtual Tour to see many more images that
will haunt your mind until you can dream
of nothing else. Once you have actually
explored this property you would rob a
bank to own it. |
