"In the tightly held mountains of Mount Nimmel, Amaroo emerges as one of the Gold Coast hinterland's last true legacy estates; 78 acres of privacy, nature, and extraordinary potential."
While truly expansive private estates are becoming increasingly rare, Amaroo stands as one of the Gold Coast hinterland's last remaining legacy landholdings. Set across 78 pristine acres in Austinville, high on the slopes of Mount Nimmel, this remarkable estate offers a rare combination of luxury lifestyle, long-term land value, and complete seclusion, just minutes from the coast.
Positioned 450 metres above sea level, Amaroo captures the cooler mountain climate and sweeping panoramic views across ocean, valley and protected bushland. Surrounded by over 1,000 acres of National Park and SEQ Water Reserve, the property feels worlds away from the everyday while remaining within easy reach of the Gold Coast's most desirable amenities. For buyers seeking a trophy lifestyle property, private retreat, wellness sanctuary, or generational estate, Amaroo presents a rare opportunity to secure a significant hinterland landholding in one of Southeast Queensland's most tightly held locations.
Architecture Designed to Live With the Landscape:
The residence was designed by Byron Bay architecture studio Arkishop and constructed by renowned Swiss craftsman August Bauer, blending contemporary alpine influences with the natural environment. The three-bedroom residence with loft has been carefully positioned to maximise natural light, views, and connection to the landscape. Expansive glazing frames the surrounding wilderness while warm natural materials and the distinctive Swiss-inspired chalet interior create a home that feels both refined and deeply grounded in its setting. Inside, the design is intentionally simple and elegant, a space where architecture quietly enhances the experience of nature.
A Lifestyle Designed for Wellness and Connection:
Amaroo is more than a home, it is a private nature retreat designed for wellbeing and outdoor living. Across the estate you will find:
- Private bushwalking and mountain biking trails
- A freestanding yoga and wellness studio with bathroom, ideal as a guest retreat or future granny flat
- Outdoor spa perfectly positioned for sunrise and sunset views
- A crackling fireplace for cooler mountain evenings
- Organic raised vegetable gardens and fruit orchard
- Working shed with horse stables and established infrastructure
Sustainability and self-sufficiency are thoughtfully integrated, including:
- 122,000 litres of filtered rainwater storage
- 3kW solar system with hybrid battery storage
- Ocean, Damn and Hinterland Views
A Rare Hinterland Sanctuary with Coastal Proximity:
While Amaroo feels entirely secluded, the property sits within convenient reach of the Gold Coast's key lifestyle hubs.
Mudgeeraba Village – 15 minutes
Robina Town Centre – 20 minutes
Burleigh Heads Beach – 30 minutes
Surfers Paradise – 40 minutes
Gold Coast Airport – 40 minutes
This unique balance of privacy and accessibility is one of the defining qualities that makes Gold Coast hinterland estates so tightly held and increasingly sought after.
A Community Known Only to a Few:
Amaroo is located within the private Mount Nimmel enclave, home to a small and close-knit group of residents affectionately known as the "Nimmelites."
Here, life moves at a different rhythm, where children grow up surrounded by nature, where mornings begin with mist rising from the valleys, and where evenings end beneath expansive hinterland skies. For families, investors, or buyers seeking a future-proof lifestyle estate, Amaroo represents something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, and the opportunity to secure a truly generational property.
A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity:
With large acreage holdings in the Gold Coast hinterland becoming increasingly scarce, Amaroo offers buyers the opportunity to secure one of the region's last remaining legacy estates. A property where lifestyle, wellness, and long-term land value converge, and where the next chapter of this extraordinary estate awaits its next custodian.
