A mysterious hexagonal house hidden deep in the forest has hit the market, with agents confirming it is vandalised, with no interior photos, and still drawing strong interest.
Community members said the home is a well known urbex property in the Gold Coast hinterland in Queensland - popular with “urban explorers” who frequent abandoned, derelict or off-limit homes and buildings.
“It is 100 per cent vandalised inside,” one said. “You will probably struggle to keep people out if you try to reno it.”

Despite that, interest in the property is strong. LJ Hooker Mudgeeraba agent Roelien Powell, who is marketing the hexagon house with colleague Jess Powell, said the inside was a mess, but buyers could still walk through the $1.5 million listed house.
“Interest at the moment has been from buyers happy to take on a project, as well as buyers wanting to buy and keep,” Roelien Powell told The Courier-Mail.
“The inside is full of items and things thrown across the floors, but the bones appear really good.”
“Due to the amount of stuff lying around, we didn’t take any photos. There’s a path made so people can walk through the home and get a feel for it.”

Interested parties have been wowed by the size of this property.
The property is about 40 minutes by road from the nearest Gold Coast beach at Mermaid.
Surrounded by greenery with the national park in the distance.
Some observers were thrown by not being able to see inside the house except in person, with one saying, “not showing the house means it is a ****hole.”
Other eyebrows were raised by the home going as-is, rubbish and all. “Gosh saying upfront new owner to remove all rubbish - must be bad,” said one person who saw the listing.
But what’s not in doubt is that the sprawling 15.95 hectares of land the property comes with in the Gold Coast hinterland is a big drawcard.
“The land is huge!” was the obvious comment, with others in a community group agreeing it could be considered “land value only, bulldozers will fix the rest.”
Another person familiar with the Springbrook National Park surrounds said, “if it’s the house I think it is, it’s pretty far gone. You are paying for the land.”
