Buderim 30 Somerset Drive

This remarkable property stands as an architectural landmark, admired for generations and now completely transformed into one of Buderim's most impressive dual living rainforest homes. Set on a unique north-easterly escarpment, the residence enjoys sweeping ocean views and boasts its own private rainforest ecosystem, complete with a cascading waterfall audible from the home itself. A winding rainforest path leads to natural rock formations and the waterfall beneath a lush canopy, all within a generous 1,155m² allotment. This impressive residence also offers the opportunity for buyers to submit offers prior to auction, with the added convenience of being available fully furnished for immediate occupancy. These features enhance the property's appeal, ensuring a seamless transition for new owners and an exceptional lifestyle from day one.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN & LIVING SPACES
Designed and engineered over four stunning levels, the residence blends modern rainforest living with touches of international style. Its iconic façade has long been a favourite subject for local photography. The home features a complete independent apartment on the ground level, ideal for guests or as an Airbnb, with private access, a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard and deck, a Koi Pond, full kitchen, bathroom, laundry, bedroom, and open-plan living area. The apartment also benefits from its own parking and private gate entrance. Short-term guests have consistently given glowing five-star reviews.

MAIN RESIDENCE FEATURES
Upon entry, the main level reveals three bedrooms, including a king-sized master suite with an updated ensuite and custom walk-in robe. The bedroom level also showcases a brand-new bathroom with a rainforest-view glass shower and a freestanding bath. All improvements have been thoughtfully executed to highlight the home's majestic character.

MAIN LEVEL LIVING
This level offers dramatic ceilings and expansive bi-fold doors that frame filtered ocean views to Maroochydore CBD and Old Woman Island, and clear vistas north to Mt Coolum. Features include a viewing lounge, television area, open-plan dining, and a screened deck for relaxing in the tranquil rainforest setting and listening to the private waterfall.

KITCHEN & ENTERTAINING
The updated kitchen boasts fresh matte white cabinetry, imported stone bench tops, a built-in barbecue, a butler's pantry with European laundry, and new hardware. Stainless steel appliances and a granite peninsula add both function and style.

RENOVATIONS & ENHANCEMENTS

UPPER LEVEL RETREAT
Designed as a versatile haven, the upper floor serves as an ideal space for a study, hobby room, or a dedicated area for yoga and meditation. A marine ladder gives access to a loft attic, which can be creatively utilised as a library, playroom, teenager's games room, or as a peaceful hideaway with its own private deck.
