A couple bought a 3.04-hectare Australian estate for A$1.6 million and restored a derelict 1932 woodcutter’s cabin; the two-bedroom retreat now earns up to A$50,000 a year as a holiday rental

A neglected timber cabin tucked inside a rainforest estate on Queensland’s Gold Coast has become a source of rental income after its owners restored the historic structure into a two-bedroom holiday retreat. The property, located in Bonogin, is now heading to auction, with its unusual combination of contemporary architecture, equestrian facilities and a heritage cottage drawing attention in the local property market.
