Scale, Privacy and Provenance - A Rare Noosa Hinterland Holding
Amber Werchon Property proudly presents to the Market, 24 Carroo Lane, Ridgewood.
A regenerated 12-hectare sanctuary with permanent spring-fed water, restored rainforest and a timeless Federation Queenslander overlooking an 18-metre sandstone pool - a place where nature, privacy and wellbeing exist in perfect balance.
A property of exceptional depth, where lifestyle, land and legacy converge.
A truly rare hinterland sanctuary where regenerated rainforest, flowing spring-fed water and timeless Queenslander charm come together across 12 hectares of extraordinary natural beauty.
Set high above pristine forest, this remarkable estate tells a story that cannot be replicated. Once a cleared hillside, the land has been meticulously restored over many years with more than 12,000 planted trees, creating a layered, thriving ecosystem that now blends seamlessly with the surrounding rainforest. Today, it stands as a private sanctuary rich in wildlife, serenity and purpose.
At its heart sits a beautifully preserved Federation-era Queenslander (circa 1900–1910), thoughtfully elevated and extended to honour its heritage - including traditional Queenslander features such as decorative fretwork - while embracing modern comfort. Positioned to capture sweeping views, the home unfolds with warmth and authenticity - from the entry veranda through to a country-style kitchen with stone sink, generous dining space, library, and a cosy sitting area where bifold windows open onto a light-filled deck that invites the outdoors in. All bathed in the changing light of the day, with each window framing a different perspective of the surrounding landscape.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a peaceful master retreat with walk-in robe and ensuite. A window seat captures views of the majestic poinciana trees that frame the driveway's turning circle. The main bathroom offers a truly unforgettable experience - a claw-foot slipper bath positioned before a picture window, overlooking the 18-metre heated sandstone-framed pool and the forest beyond.
Beneath the home, a substantial ground-level area adds an additional layer of versatility. A separate room with its own entrance, walk-in storage and bathroom/laundry facilities lends itself perfectly to a home office, guest accommodation, au-pair quarters or a private retreat. Whether incorporated into the main residence or utilised as a semi-independent space, it offers flexibility rarely found in homes of this era. The remaining under-house area, set on a solid slab, provides expansive space ideal for a workshop, creative studio or practical storage for acreage living.
Outdoors, the property reveals its full magic.
A permanent, spring-fed creek winds through the land, forming natural waterholes and a picturesque waterfall, while also providing a reliable, high-quality water source supported by a 50m head pump system capable of servicing irrigation across the property. It also marks the boundary between Noosa and the Sunshine Coast regions. A network of walking trails meanders through the rainforest, including a wide, 30-minute track that showcases the diversity of plant life, wildlife corridors and carefully considered regeneration.
