    There’s complete privacy, a 20m lap pool, a tennis court, zero visible neighbours and honey straight from on-site beehives.

    Retired surgeon Dr Jim McGown spent three years tracking the wind patterns before building Buderim's best wellness fortress and now, the Sunshine Coast's ultimate luxury property is up for grabs.

    Designed by Buderim Design Studios and built by Coastal Properties, the property at 25 Eckersley Avenue, Buderim is being marketed by Ray White Mooloolaba sales agent KirstIn Cowie and Ray White Kawana Waters sales agent William Mitchell.

    The property is set to go under the hammer on 29 October at 5.30pm.

    “In a market where every second listing claims to be unique, this one actually is,” Ms Cowie said.

    “How many multi-million dollar homes can say they come with their own working bee hives?

    “When you've got bees thriving undisturbed on a property this close to the coast, it tells you everything about how peaceful and private this pocket of Buderim really is,” she said.

    Tucked away on a rare, elevated flat 3,679sqm block on Buderim’s northern crest, the custom four-bedroom estate features an all-weather 20m lap pool, a tennis court, and expansive entertaining spaces engineered for total privacy.

    Capturing a coveted northern aspect, the home spans two expansive levels, and features an expansive open-plan upper living domain centered around a custom butler’s pantry, and a separate self-contained guest suite.

    Designed specifically to maximise the natural landscape and coastal views while remaining entirely private from surrounding neighbours, the residence effortlessly blends resort-style entertaining with multi-generational functionality.

    Key outdoor features include a sweeping upper terrace with an integrated barbecue area.

    Dr McGown described his home as the “ultimate man cave” and said he spent three years living on the site prior to construction to perfectly understand the land’s orientation and breezes.

    “I lived in the original house on the block first just to find out which way the wind blows before we even started working with the architects - then I knocked it down and built this,” Dr McGown said.

    “My main priorities were absolute privacy and creating spaces that truly worked for how we live; the neighbours surrounding me have no idea I’m here, yet we’ve hosted sit-down dinners for 43 people on the terrace for my mother’s 70th birthday.”

    Dr McGown has moved to Brisbane and purchased an apartment in New Farm.

    “From keeping active in the lap pool every day to the effortless indoor-outdoor flow, it has been the ultimate private sanctuary, but the time has come for my next chapter in Brisbane,” Dr McGown said.

    He said buyers seeking an uncompromised Sunshine Coast lifestyle with world-class design integrity should consider this home.
