5 Acre Farmstead with Lakeview | Other in Tamborine Mountain

This is a rare opportunity to stay on a private lakefront estate in the heart of Tamborine Mountain, set on over 20,000m² of secluded land, surrounded by mature pine trees, Liquidambar trees, and lush gardens that provide exceptional privacy and a true connection to nature.
At the heart of the estate is “Willington”, an 80+ year-old Queenslander originally relocated from New South Wales and fully renovated in recent years. The home has been thoughtfully restored and upgraded, including a larger kitchen, dining area, and open-plan formal living spaces, blending heritage charm with modern comfort.
The estate also features a separate 2-bedroom American-style Barn House, making it ideal for families, extended families, or groups seeking space and privacy, while still enjoying time together.

A Living Landscape & Wildlife Experience
This is not just a place to stay — it is a living estate where nature changes with the seasons.
• 🦆 A family of ducks lives in the lake, often visiting the pond in the early mornings and late afternoons, especially during summer when the water temperature is ideal
• 🦜 In the mornings, a group of cockatoos frequently visits the front lawn
• 🐇 Occasionally, you may spot rabbits running freely across the grass
For children and families, there is a mini lake house with a small jetty, perfect for:
• Watching ducks
• Observing fish in the pond
• Imaginative play and quiet nature moments
⸻
Seasonal Beauty
The estate is planted with a variety of trees and flowering plants that transform throughout the year:
• 🌸 Spring & Summer bring shades of green, purple, and pink, with flowering African lilies and vibrant Liquidambar foliage
• 🌳 Fruit trees including lemon and mulberry add to the charm of the gardens
• 🍁 Autumn & Winter transform the estate into rich tones of red, orange, and yellow, creating a truly picturesque setting
During the cooler months, this is the perfect time to enjoy the large fireplace inside the charming Queenslander or gather around the outdoor fireplace in the crisp mountain air.
⸻
Comfortable Mountain Climate
Tamborine Mountain enjoys a naturally cooler climate.
During summer, temperatures here are typically 4–5°C cooler than Brisbane or the Gold Coast lowlands, making outdoor time far more comfortable, even on warm days.
