"Tallowood Treehouse" – An Eco-Sanctuary in a Tranquil Rainforest Paradise
Affectionately known as "Tallowood Treehouse" – a tribute to the magnificent evergreen standing sentinel at the property's entrance – this haven celebrates nature, serenity and sustainable living. One of the first homes established within The Highlands section of the award-winning Currumbin Eco-Village, it rests upon 3,587m² of freehold land bordering protected bushland and pristine subtropical rainforest. A gentle seasonal creek meanders along two sides of the property, while abundant native birdlife and wildlife reaffirm that this is indeed a natural wonderland and paradise steeped in pure peace and privacy.
Designed by an award-winning architect with eco-efficient passive living at its core, the residence blends seamlessly into its breathtaking surroundings. Superior insulation, raked ceilings and louvred windows work in harmony to naturally regulate the climate, while vast picture windows frame tranquil rainforest vistas and flood the interiors with natural light. Polished hardwood floors add character throughout, with built-in banquet and window seating adding cosy charm to the open plan living and dining zone. Here, pillarless sliding doors retract to seamlessly integrate with an elevated deck – perfect for entertaining or unwinding as you overlook a beautiful bushland corridor.
A well-appointed kitchen with gas cooking also features, complemented by two upper-level bedrooms, study/library and a bathroom boasting a shower with enchanting, uninterrupted rainforest views. Plus, downstairs, guests will relish the privately accessed ensuite bedroom, opening to a deck with protected kitchenette/laundry amenities. Additionally, take advantage of a taste of a self-sufficient lifestyle. Harvest mangoes, mulberries, oranges, mandarins and macadamias, pick fresh passionfruit from the vines, or gather produce from established veggie gardens thriving with turmeric, spinach and more. Complemented by a total 50,000L water tank storage (with UV filtration system) and 5.6kW solar power and you can embrace a life with minimal environmental impact without compromising comfort.
