Who will buy Montville’s prized Secrets on the Lake?
A luxury treehouse resort in the Sunshine Coast hinterland is on the market and presents an unparalleled opportunity.
Set in a pristine rainforest, overlooking a magnificent lake, Secrets on the Lake in Montville is a land holding that is truly one of a kind, says marketing agent Nathan Beasley from RE/MAX Property Sales.
“Here we see approximately 15 hectares of lakefront land, breathtaking views, an established award-winning business with huge growth potential and with approvals to further develop the site,” Mr Beasley.
“There is clearly $20 million-plus of existing infrastructure, which includes 10 hand-carved treehouse cabins, an owner’s villa, an award-winning 100-seat restaurant, a wedding chapel, a reception lounge and an old, recycled railway station.”
Mr Beasley has a long-time personal connection with owners, George and Aldy Johnston, who have spent three decades bring Secrets on the Lake to where it is today, an internationally recognised destination.
“What they have created is amazing and most people will have seen nothing like it in terms of natural beauty and incredible workmanship.
“It is an intensely beautiful place and I admit that it’s difficult to put a price on, but the replacement value would certainly be more than $20 million.”
George and Aldy Johnston opened Secrets up to visitors in 1997. After bringing their dream to reality and sharing it with thousands of guests, they are now planning retirement.
“I call it a reluctant retirement because it is hard for them to leave however, they have decided to move on and let new owners put their stamp on the property.”
Mr Beasley is offering the property in conjunction with John Petralia from Ray White Commercial Noosa & Sunshine Coast.
It is certainly no secret how special this property is, and it is not surprising that the agents are fielding interest as far afield as the US, France and Asia, as well as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and locally.
“It is more than a heavenly place to live, it could also be an excellent investment with its huge growth potential and development approval for more accommodation.
“It is absolutely magnificent and potential buyers say it is hard to think of anything that would compare with it,” Mr Beasley said.
Potential buyers are being invited to make Expressions of Interest for the property, Secrets on the Lake.
