'Kingfisher House' - Rainforest Sanctuary with Resort Lifestyle
Sitting serenely on approximately 5 hectares (12.5 acres) of pristine Eumundi hinterland, 'Kingfisher House' offers complete privacy, abundant wildlife and not a neighbour in sight. Built in 2009, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for if you want character without compromise - whether your vision is a family sanctuary immersed in nature, a multi-generational lifestyle, or a creative retreat with genuine income potential.
Arrival sets the tone immediately. Wide wraparound verandahs extend the living space in every direction, French doors and seamless sliding glass connect each room to the rainforest surrounds, and statement engraved timber entry doors open to a chandelier-lit foyer.
Inside, polished timber floors, high ceilings, VJ feature walls, wooden casement windows and ceiling fans deliver the character a true Queenslander demands, whilst the double-sided wood fireplace roars on cool hinterland evenings. This perfectly combined with the modern convenience of ducted air conditioning, a chef's kitchen with gas servery to the verandah, and ample storage ensure nothing has been left to chance.
Most of the five oversized bedrooms open directly to the verandah - natural light and airflow are a constant - whilst the master ensuite, complete with clawfoot bathtub beneath a chandelier, elevates the private retreat to something genuinely special.
Downstairs is currently used as a private home cinema, but with a separate entrance, bedroom and bathroom this space can be configured effortlessly as a multi-generational suite, guest accommodation or home office adjoining the double lock-up garage.
Outside, a resort-style nine-metre heated magnesium pool with limestone tile surrounds, a luxury built-in spa and an established firepit area create an outdoor precinct that renders weekends away entirely unnecessary. The three-bay shed - 2 room studio in 1 bay, double-storey centre bay, 3-phase power, extra-high roller door and 3.5kW solar feeding to the house - delivers serious infrastructure for those who need it.
Established fruit trees yield mangoes, bananas, peaches, guava, dragon fruit, star fruit and passionfruit across the year, while 36 species of rainforest birds, two species of wallaby, kangaroos, echidnas and goannas move freely through the property.
Four minutes from Yandina's Saturday Country Markets, 10 minutes to Bruce Highway, 12 minutes to Eumundi, 20 minutes to Coolum Beach, 25 minutes* to Sunshine Coast Airport and 35 minutes to Noosa Main Beach - this private sanctuary is so close to the best the hinterland has to offer, but feels so removed. Ideal for families, tree-changers, creatives and multi-generational buyers.
