A ‘rainforest home’ that’s nowhere near the tropics has hit the market.

The hidden retreat at 1A Carboona Avenue is actually located in Sydney’s Earlwood, just a 15-minute drive from Sydney Airport.

Listed by agents Kieran Gianoudis and Dean Vasil of Ray White Earlwood, the rare two-bedroom, two-bathroom home boasts an alfresco zone and cedar hot tub surrounded by its own tropical-style rainforest.

It has a price guide of around $1.5 to $2 million and agents have already received great interest in the property.

Described as a “single-level home that’s a portal to another world” in the listing, the abode feels like you’re world’s away from Sydney’s suburban life.

The future buyer will able to relax and unwind in their own hidden retreat, but they also have the added luxury of being only five minutes’ walking distance to the local shops.

Alongside the alfresco zone and cedar hot tub, there’s also an idyllic outdoor shower and a makeshift deck with mattresses that would make for a great meditation session.

The actual abode is a mix of contemporary and retro charm with timber floorboards, whitewashed walls, pendant lights, and a pink basin and bathtub in the blue bathroom.
