2874 Springbrook Road, Springbrook, Qld 4213

This property is a serene, history-rich estate with a blend of modern luxury and natural beauty, perfect for an extended family looking for privacy while enjoying the surrounding rainforest and wildlife. The connection to its past, from being a dairy farm to a tourist destination known for its tulips and Dutch culture, adds a charming layer of nostalgia. It offers the convenience of two residences, making it ideal for multi-generational living or hosting guests.

According to the Gold Coast Libraries, the property was originally a dairy farm during the 1920's and the Turramurra Guesthouse in the 1940's, it was planted with tulips and daffodils in the 1960's and become known as Tulip Gardens. Thousands of tourists visited to enjoy the Dutch food in the cafe spruced by staff in traditional Dutch costumes. The property was later renamed The Sanctuary and become a health retreat and guesthouse.

From the minute you drive through the historic gates of the former “Tulip Gardens” up the tree lined driveway to this secluded hideaway, this impressive residence, which has been lovingly restored, welcomes you. 

When you walk onto the oversized veranda through the french doors, the natural timbers and high ceilings with oversized windows invites you in. From the different rooms the outlook is the ultimate in luxury secluded accommodation. This four bedroom main residence provides a completely private master bedroom which opens up onto a veranda, making you feel part of nature and you cannot but unwind. 

The kitchen is beautifully appointed in hand crafted recycled hoop pine wood with Carrara Mable bench-tops while the imported French tap forms a unique feature on the huge island bench. The colourful lead-light window with a tulip design in the kitchen serves as a reminder of its historic past. The wood burning stove will provide the perfect family gathering point for cold winter evenings to connect in this open plan kitchen and informal diner which is large enough to host extended family and friends. The bi-folding doors extend the area as it opens up to the enclosed outdoor entertainment area.

With lush gardens, verandas for outdoor entertainment, and modern amenities like a chef's kitchen, open fireplaces, combustion stove and even an outdoor cinema, it blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The second residence, a private granny flat, gives added flexibility for family or rental opportunities.

The location is ideal for nature lovers, with its proximity to Springbrook National Park, walking tracks, waterfalls, and the conveniences of nearby towns and schools. The water resources (tanks, creek access, and bore) are an added bonus, ensuring self-sufficiency. Overall, it's a unique blend of history, luxury, and nature in a tranquil setting, surrounded by National Park.
