Tucked away on almost 13 acres of pristine native bushland, Whispering Gums is more than a property - it’s a sanctuary. A place where wildlife thrives, mornings begin with birdsong, and life naturally slows to the rhythm of the forest.

For years, this remarkable haven has quietly cared for wombats, wallabies, sugar gliders, wedge-tail eagles and countless native species, all nurtured within its peaceful surrounds.

The home feels beautifully connected to the landscape. Large windows frame leafy outlooks from almost every room, inviting the outdoors in and allowing the changing seasons to become part of everyday life. Warm and welcoming, the residence features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a light-filled sunroom, spacious living and dining zones, and an enchanting atrium that draws natural light deep into the heart of the home.

High ceilings and two wood fires create warmth and character throughout, while the open-plan design encourages relaxed family living and effortless entertaining. Every space has been thoughtfully positioned to embrace the surrounding bushland and create a sense of calm and comfort.

Adding further charm is a separate cottage complete with its own bedroom and bathroom - ideal for guests, extended family, creative pursuits or peaceful accommodation immersed in nature.

Outside, the grounds unfold like a private wilderness retreat. Flowering trees, towering gums and lush tree ferns attract an incredible array of birdlife including king parrots, kookaburras, rosellas and magpies. On warmer days, the outdoor swimming pool and expansive entertaining deck becomes the perfect place to unwind beneath the canopy of trees while the barbecue crackles nearby.

Practicality blends seamlessly with the property’s natural beauty, with a double carport, workshop and large garden shed.

Despite its wonderfully secluded feel, Whispering Gums remains remarkably connected. Emerald township is close by, offering schools, childcare, cafés, restaurants, medical facilities, sporting grounds and everyday conveniences, while nearby bus services provide easy access to Emerald, Berwick and Fountain Gate. The world-renowned Puffing Billy Railway and beautiful Emerald Lake Park are also just moments from home.

A truly rare offering where nature, tranquillity and lifestyle exist in perfect harmony.
