Surrounded by nature and just a short drive from the sandy shores of Avon Beach, Mudeford Quay, and the vibrant seaside town of Bournemouth, this retreat perfectly balances forest tranquillity with coastal adventure.
Nestled in front of the main house grounds, your privacy is preserved via a winding path and private entrance. Step inside and be welcomed by a beautifully designed open-plan space, where cosy meets contemporary. The lounge area invites you to unwind with a Smart TV and plush seating, while the well-equipped kitchen and dining space are ideal for relaxed evenings in. With warm timber accents and clever design, every corner feels inviting.
Two stylish double bedrooms offer a unique sense of sleeping among the treetops – compact yet full of character. A sleek, shared shower room completes the interior. But it’s outside where this property truly shines. Step out onto a wraparound deck that blurs the line between indoors and out. Dine al fresco with the charcoal BBQ, or follow the deck into a hidden tree-lined nook where a luxurious sunken hot tub awaits—covered for all-weather indulgence.
As the sun sets, soak beneath the canopy, surrounded by birdsong and woodland peace. A shared lawn with picnic benches offers even more space to relax, and with two off-road parking spaces just 15 metres away, convenience meets comfort. With nearby access to walking and cycling trails, fishing lakes, and outdoor activity centres—not to mention easy links to the market towns of Ringwood and Christchurch—this elevated cabin offers a truly unique blend of seclusion, style, and location. A rare gem for nature lovers, coastal explorers, and anyone seeking a magical retreat in the trees.
