Less than 10 minutes (approx.) from Mooloolaba and Maroochydore beaches, 'Bassingbourn' is an iconic Tanawha property reminiscent of a high-end Bali villa.

The rainforest retreat is set on approx. 1 acre, offering privacy, contemporary style, and modern convenience alongside tasteful Asian influences. 

Agent Craig Porter told WILLIAMS MEDIA, "The original Queenslander style home was significantly added to in size, with a total refurbishment carried out for a blend of contemporary meets Queensland living at its best. Bali influences and water features add to the appeal, while the seperate office also houses one of the finest wine cellars I’ve seen."

In the garden, stone pathways meander past Asian design influences such as Balinese statues and timber decks, while the tropical gardens feature huge palm trees, lush lawns and curved garden beds. The landscaping is incredibly thoughtful and detailed, while the soothing sound of running water can always be heard, thanks to the many carefully placed water features. 

While from the outside, the home looks like a classic sprawling Queenslander homestead with wide verandahs, inside it is bright and open, with neutral tones, huge 10-foot ceilings, and approx. 1,000sqm under roof. Timber floors are reclaimed from the old Woolloongabba Hotel, while louvres help with air-flow, and Balinese touches and tranquil water features throughout.

Through the front door and into the wide entry hall you have the option of turning right and into the family room or turning left towards a formal dining room and open kitchen. The kitchen features European appliances, a butler’s scullery, food pantry, Caesarstone benchtops and plenty of built-in storage. 

Further into the home are the bedrooms, including two with their own ensuites, while another two have a shared bathroom. The fifth bedroom is the master retreat, and it offers underfloor heating, walk-in robes, and a huge ensuite with twin vanities. The master bath sits in a glass-surrounded alcove. Outside, a slate wall forms the backdrop to more tropical plantings that provide privacy and a tranquil view from which to luxuriate in the bath or the outdoor shower.

Bassingbourn also features a gym room with infrared sauna and ensuite, plus a media room with two-tiered seating that can be opened up to create a multipurpose space. 

The main house is linked to a detached retreat, which houses a private study and a temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room, plus two walk-in commercial fridges.

Other features include a centralised sound system, which is controlled by mobile phone and pipes music inside and out, plus a security system, ducted air-conditioning and a huge laundry. 

Outside, there is room for more than six cars plus masses of storage including the attic over the garage. The property connects to town, tank and bore water, and features a greywater system. A floodlit tennis court, pool and huge Bali-style entertaining pavilion complete the picture.

This is the perfect family home, executive escape or B&B, just 3-4 minutes to Sunshine Coast University and schooling options.
