21 Carroo Lane Ridgewood QLD 4563

With two stunning homes nestled amongst 10.1 acres of pristine tropical rainforest, new owners of this property will feel like they've escaped to an exclusive resort destination - not to mention benefiting from the possibilities on offer here. Think accommodation for extended family, Airbnb, home-based business, art or health retreat, and more.

Fully renovated in 2020, the original home features a contemporary ambience with air-conditioning, laminate timber floors and crisp white paint. The open plan living/dining area has a combustion wood fireplace ideal for cosy evenings, while the immaculate modern kitchen will impress with its high-quality finishes and outlook across the lush gardens. The master suite boasts a walk-in robe and ensuite, and the long, elevated deck is perfect for taking in the sounds of nature and views over the tranquil dam and treelined creek.

Connected via an elevated timber walkway, the main home is private yet close enough for easy access if needed. Completed in 2007, it sits beautifully within its natural setting and boasts an idyllic resort-style feel. It exudes elegance, warmth and luxury courtesy of soaring cathedral ceilings, wraparound decks, and an abundance of rich textures - including timbers and glass. Downstairs is a massive open plan living zone, incorporating spaces for dining and living, combustion fireplace, plus a striking kitchen with Sydney blue gum benches, 1200mm double oven with gas cooking, and walk-in pantry. From every room, including the two downstairs bedrooms, French doors lead onto covered verandas surrounded by rainforest trees, palms and ferns. Also on this level is a bathroom with clawfoot bath and beautiful tilework. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with private decks - one with walk-in and ensuite - connected by a bridge.

While the homes are magnificent, the grounds are breathtaking. Tucked among palms between the homes is a resort-style pool with waterfall and Bali hut, providing another space to relax with family and friends, enjoy a BBQ, and soak up the peace. Or take a stroll along secluded rainforest paths while looking out for native wildlife, which includes platypus in the six billabongs, bearded water dragons, and numerous bird species. Additional property features include a separate studio (for a teen hangout, games, art, craft, health or other pursuits), sheds and workshops (including room for boats, caravans and machinery), 4.6kw solar, approximately 1 acre of dog fenced yard, and a 3/4 acre (approx.) paddock behind the vermin-proof herb/vegetable garden enclosure and chook run, plus 3 other areas that could be fenced off into 1/2 acre paddocks.

Water should be plentiful, with two dams (one pumping water to garden reticulation around the property), creek, and 102,000L of tank storage. There's also room to accommodate up to 12 vehicles. Despite its seclusion, this exquisite property is only 8 minutes from the schools, shops, cafes and transport of Cooroy. Alternatively, spend days enjoying Noosa's beaches, national park, shopping and dining and be home to your sanctuary in under 30 minutes. This unique property will capture your heart and soul, so be very quick if you'd like to secure this parcel of unspoiled paradise.
