Property Details for 3196 Christmas Creek Rd, Lamington
Last Listing description (September 2026)
If you've ever dreamt of escaping the rush and living closer to nature, this is your chance. Hidden in Queensland's Scenic Rim, Wongari Eco Retreat offers a rare opportunity to own part of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforest, one of the oldest living ecosystems on Earth. Created with care by the owners, Wongari brings together privacy, comfort, purpose and sustainability in one breathtaking setting.
Set across 57 acres, roughly half of which is untouched rainforest, Wongari is traversed by two spring-fed waterways - Christmas Creek and Waterfall Creek. Waterfall Creek flows from the Lamington Plateau through Lamington National Park before winding exclusively through Wongari, feeding natural rock pools, fern-lined gullies, and swimming holes along the way. The property enjoys about 200 metres of private creek frontage, a peaceful escape for guests and residents alike. Sitting 330 metres above sea level, the Homestead overlooks the forest canopy, Fort Buchanan and surrounding mountains, with zero light pollution - the stars here are dazzling.
The property includes a comfortable main residence (the Homestead) and two timber cabins - Bimbul and Serenity - currently used for holiday accommodation. Each cabin sits on its own six-acre parcel for total privacy. Bimbul runs on a unique hydro-electric system, fully off-grid and operating 24/7, while Serenity and the Homestead are powered by mains electricity, with solar and rainwater systems supporting each dwelling. Together, they create a rare balance of modern comfort and self-sufficiency.
Property Highlights:
• 57 acres of pristine Scenic Rim rainforest bordered by two creeks
• Three dwellings: the main Homestead plus two self-contained timber cabins
• Hydro-electric, solar, and rainwater systems for near off-grid living
• Approved 14B zoning for up to four additional cabins - ready for eco-tourism expansion
Supporting infrastructure is exceptional. There are eight water tanks (total capacity 67,000L), five sheds, and two ponds at the Homestead that help sustain the gardens and local wildlife. The main shed (6m x 12m) serves as a workshop and storage area, with additional sheds for vehicles, firewood, and equipment. There's also a pioneer slab hut from 1895, a WWII-era garden shed, and a chicken coop with run - touches of character that bring the property's history and self-sufficiency to life. The grounds are carefully maintained, with sustainable weed-free practices, established gardens, and easy access to all key areas.
Wongari's water system is robust and reliable, drawing from three heads along Waterfall Creek to power the hydro system, supply the Homestead, and feed the cabins. Around 25 taps deliver water throughout the property, and every drop of used water returns naturally to Christmas Creek via the regenerated Bimbul Creek corridor. These thoughtful systems make Wongari a model for eco-living - beautifully designed to work in harmony with its surroundings rather than against them.
This is a place to truly disconnect - where the forest, the creeks, and the ever-present chorus of birds and cicadas become your daily rhythm. Yet, it's only about 90 minutes from Brisbane or the Gold Coast, offering both connection and seclusion. Whether you're looking for a private sanctuary, a family retreat, or the foundations for a thriving eco-tourism business, Wongari Eco Retreat offers something truly rare - a lifestyle built on peace, purpose, and the power of nature.
