Getaway for good: Four reasons Tamborine is the perfect Prize Home location

Just over 50 minutes from the Gold Coast, the area’s stunningly beautiful natural attractions have also become an increasingly popular side quest for holiday makers looking for adventure.  

At the foot of Tamborine Mountain, 20-minutes to the north-west, the township of Tamborine is enticing more and more families to get away from the rat race – not for a weekend, but for good. 

Not to be confused with its more touristy namesake up the mountain, the growing, largely residential community of Tamborine rests in a picturesque valley on the eastern edge of the Scenic Rim region. 

Amidst the fertile farmland, horse paddocks and protected national parks, new acreage developments offer an desirable opportunity to live a life away from the hustle and bustle. The larger lots also offer the added luxury of being able to build your sprawling dream home. You know, the kind of home you see in those Prize Home brochures. Well, more specifically, our Endeavour Foundation Prize Home brochures. 

The newest Endeavour Foundation Prize Home, valued at $2.4 million, is most certainly the stuff dreams are made of. This expansive, contemporary masterpiece combines all the modern comforts with an enviable semi-rural location to create acreage living at its finest.

So, if it’s not already obvious, here’s why Tamborine is the perfect Prize Home location:

1. If it’s good enough for Lonely Planet, it’s good enough for us

Renowned travel bible, Lonely Planet, named the Scenic Rim region as one of the world’s 10 hottest travel destinations in 2022.

Stretching over vast area of more than 4000 square kilometres, from the foothills of the Great Dividing Range in the west to World Heritage Listed Lamington National Park, stunning Canungra Valley, and of course the delights of Tamborine in the east, the region’s natural attractions are enough to put it on the map.

But it’s when you add a network of progressive communities that are discovering new ways to sustainably make the most of the region’s natural assets that earned it the number 8 spot in Lonely Planet’s list of must-visit destinations. We couldn’t agree more.

2. The indulgence of space

You can do a lot with an acre of land. Case in point – our stunning Tamborine Prize Home which takes full advantage of the very large blank canvas the level one-acre lot affords. The expansive home boasts four generous bedrooms, media room, study and even a kids’ retreat. 

But it’s when you step out to the vast outdoor living area – which, incidentally, looks like it’s fresh off the pages of Vogue Living – that the true luxury of this generous block can be fully appreciated. With a huge undercover entertaining area, poolside cabana and fire pit. 

3. Far enough to escape, near enough to stay connected

While we all love to get away from time to time, ideally, the goal is to create a life that you don’t need to escape from. And at Tamborine, you can do just that.  While you’re enjoying the countryside location that the tourists come for, you’re also just 13 minutes from Yarrabilba, the Lendlease master-planned, is home to five schools, a town centre with a Coles supermarket and an increasing list of services including a medical hub.

Up on the mountain, which is essentially your backyard, you’ll find more schools, excellent restaurants, cafes, boutique shopping, garden nurseries, and markets. As a local, you can become a regular in your favourite spots rather than a one-time visitor. 

4. The ultimate backyard

What’s also in your backyard is the pristine wilderness of Tamborine National Park. 

The Witches Falls section of the park was, in fact, Queensland’s first National Park, declared in 1908. Since then, the park has grown to include 14 sections of land boasting stunning  waterfalls, lush rainforest walks and spectacular views west to the Great Dividing Range and east to the Gold Coast.
