Private Rainforest Living With Established Airbnb Income

Hidden away on the iconic Black Spur, this extraordinary rainforest retreat delivers a rare blend of privacy, sustainability and established income, set within a breathtaking and pristine natural landscape.
MAIN RESIDENCE - ESTABLISED AIRBNB INCOME
Extensively transformed by the current owners from a previously run-down condition, the character filled two-bedroom main residence is warm, inviting and rich in charm. A country-style kitchen, cosy lounge and dedicated dining area with wood heater form the heart of the home, while the enclosed sunroom invites you to unwind and take in the surrounding greenery year-round. Outdoors, beautifully designed entertaining areas, including a fire pit, create ideal spaces to relax beneath the forest canopy.
Now also operating as successful Airbnb accommodation, the main residence adds a valuable second income stream alongside the existing guest accommodation. Whether you choose to live in the home, or continue offering each as sought-after short-stay accommodation, the flexibility to enjoy dual accommodation opportunities is a rare and highly attractive feature.
THE HUT – ESTABLISHED AIRBNB INCOME
Set privately away from the main residence, "The Hut" is a fully self-contained guest retreat currently operating as a successful Airbnb/B&B with consistent bookings. Complete with its own bedroom, rustic-luxe bathroom, outdoor cooking facilities, fire pit and elevated porch, it captures sweeping views through native forest to distant mountains. It delivers an immediate and reliable income stream, alternatively it can be used as a private guest or family retreat, or additional bedroom alongside the main home.
THE BARN – CONVERSION POTENTIAL
Adding further appeal is a rustic barn brimming with potential, ideally suited for conversion into additional Airbnb accommodation, a creative studio or a self-contained business or home office. This flexible space opens the door to future expansion and enhanced opportunities.
Set within a remarkable collection of native and exotic plantings introduced by renowned botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, the property forms a living botanical legacy, with some specimens now rare in their country of origin. Sustainability is a defining feature, with thoughtful systems and land stewardship supporting low property maintenance and long-term self-sufficiency in this pristine rainforest setting. Life here is deeply connected to nature, with vibrant autumn colour, lush summer greenery, misty winter mornings and flourishing spring gardens creating a constantly evolving landscape. On occasional winter mornings, snowfall lightly dusts the property, adding to its quiet magic, all complemented by abundant wildlife.
Despite its peaceful seclusion, the property remains conveniently located within easy reach of Healesville and Marysville, and approximately 90 minutes from Melbourne.
