A palatial Gold Coast hinterland estate that looks like the scene of a Regency-era drama allows buyers to live like royalty, with his-and-her homesteads and water so pure, companies will pay for it.
Buyers won’t need to choose between Bridgerton or Downton Abbey, with 11 bedrooms and nine bathroom split across two grand residences – they can have both.

The dual-living manor, located at 105 and 105b Lanes Road, Wongawallan, has featured in multiple films and television shows, including the Stan movie, Fatal Honeymoon. It has been listed for sale with price hopes of circa $7 million.
Sales agent Jarrod Pienaar from Harcourts Property Hub said the vendor fell in love with the property for its equestrian facilities, which now includes four padded stables, automatic water stations and a fully equipped tack room.
“He’s in his 80s now, unfortunately, his wife just passed away not too long ago,” he said.
“But throughout his childhood, and his upbringing, and just before that property, he owned at one stage, 300 race horses.
“The property itself is spectacular on its own. They had a contract from Coca Cola, the company, to tap into their borehole systems because the water is so pure, which is quite cool.”

Located in close proximity to Tamborine Mountain and the Gold Coast, the main residence features a ballroom style formal lounge with a grand fireplace, a dining room and a separate recreational wing, featuring a man cave with a custom designed granite bar and space to fit a billiard table.

An elegant French-inspired second residence offers privacy for extended family or guests, or income-producing accommodation.
“The property’s landscapes are manicured to no end, and he spends about eight hours every week by himself as an 80-year-old man, tending to his lawns and gardens,” Mr Pienaar said.
“He’s got rose bushes, mangoes, lychees, strawberries – every fruit you can eat on the property.”
The homes are set amongst towering trees, a serene water pond, expansive lawns and private rainforest with creek. Picture: realestate.com.au
Additionally, there is a water pond and a creek, as well as a swimming pool.
Set on a 2.93ha landholding, the two homesteads could appeal to someone looking to run an Airbnb, or even a multi-generational family, Mr Pienaar said.

The property – considered one of the hinterland’s landmark estates – is part of a serene neighbourhood, Mr Pienaar said.
“There’s a vintage classic car museum around the corner … all the neighbours are also on large acreages with horses around them as well.
“It’s a very nice and peaceful place.”
