Nestled away in a rainforest in rural Queensland lies an incredible tree house with stunning timber flooring, stone feature walls and sweeping views of the gorgeous natural surroundings.

The Tomewin Mountain Road tree lodge located in Currumbin Valley was built in the late 1960s but was renovated by the current owners.

In addition to the tree house, the property also features a main estate, both of which are situated on 19 acres of lush land.

The current owners bought the property in 2009 for $1.475million and have been listing the tree house on AirBnb.

As you drive down the leafy-paved driveway you are met by the two-story main estate, which has been dubbed as an ‘architectural masterpiece’ by real estate experts and was named the Belle House of the Year. 

Ash Witty of Harcourts BMG told Daily Mail Australia both the tree house and main estate were designed to mimic the rainforest landscapes.

‘At different times of the day, the timber floor replicates the look of the rainforest ground underneath the canopy,’ he said.

This is to ensure the home remains somewhat camouflaged within the surroundings and doesn’t draw attention away from the beauty of the rainforest. 

The tree house and main residence are situated just over 200m apart.

While the property spans across a huge diameter of land, Mr Witty said little maintenance would be required.

‘The nature of the rainforest essentially takes care of itself making it easy to maintain,’ he said.

‘There’s no hedges or garden beds that need to be attended to, but the walking tracks need to be kept clear to move between the two estates.’ 

Mr Witty said the tree house has a ‘warm and cosy’ feeling throughout due to the timber and stone features. 

He added the property is both unique and rare, as few opportunities offer or include two homes for the price of one.

The main estate and tree house were designed with large glass windows to welcome natural lighting into the homes and for guests to view the surroundings from inside.

Among the 19 acres of land awaits 3km of walking trails to explore everything the rainforest has to offer.
