International Homes: Rural Estate in Nobbys Creek, Australia

Nestled in the undulating hills just 35 minutes from Gold Coast International Airport, Rosehill Estate is a magical 370-acre hideaway situated in the heart of Australia's Tweed River Valley. Threading its way between stands of tall trees and palms, the beauty of this estate is revealed with glimpses of the property’s homestead gazing over the main lagoon.

The estate features an abundance of water including 14 dams, aquifers and a serene lagoon with a canoe gazebo and fountain.

Drawing on the vitality and beauty of the land, the property includes a series of meditative spaces, rotundas and scenic walks amongst the manicured gardens, paddocks and forested hills.

The estate consists of a variety of buildings, a spring water bottling operation, rich grazing pastures, mango and cabinet timber plantations, manicured grounds and numerous waterways.

Accessed via a grand porte-cochere, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom architecturally designed residence sits framed by wide verandas, decks and manicured gardens.

Beautiful wooden double doors open to welcome you into the main residence's colorful foyer. Robin's egg blue walls contrast strikingly with the wood floors and accents.

A smiling Buddha and meditation gong stand outside the residence's front door welcoming guests to the home. Reds and blues are sprinkled throughout the house, making it bright and cheery.

A multi-level living room includes a built-in, low level shelf that serves as a media center. The ocean blue rug and red sofa continue the bright, cheerful whimsy of the rest of the home's color palette.

A grand porte-cochere sits at the heart of this colorful ranch-style home, surrounded by wide decks and porches. The residence features three ensuite bedrooms and an airy open-concept design.
