An exceptional and rare opportunity presents itself with the sale of this extraordinary gem, a landmark heritage, tourism estate nestled in the heart of Springbrook, Queensland. Spanning approximately six acres of prime business-zoned land, this property is without comparison—combining breathtaking natural beauty, cultural depth, commercial operations, and future development potential.
Set within the UNESCO-listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, the estate boasts its own waterfall, dual creeks, and historic gardens first established in 1946. Its commercial profile includes a café seating up to 80 guests, three fully operational heritage cottages, and a proven track record of tourist accommodation demand. With development approvals in place, flexible ownership structures across six street addresses, and significant interest in regional projects such as the Springbrook cableway and 2032 Olympics uplift, the estate is primed for transformation.
This is more than property or business – it is a generational investment blending history, culture, lifestyle, and commercial opportunity.
