109 Colwill Crescent, Wolffdene is on a 4.38h parcel of land.
It’s not your typical luxury property – in fact it’s far from it – but a quirky one-bedroom cottage hideaway is the hottest property in Queensland this week.
Called Newtown House, the property nestled between Brisbane and the Gold Coast was the most viewed Queensland home listed for sale on realestate.com.au with agents swamped by enquiries after the election.

Willcox Estate Agents’ Natasha Bercich, who is marketing the property at 109 Colwill Cres, Wolffdene alongside Jesse Willcox, said she received 68 inquiries over the weekend alone.
“That is huge for a house like this,” she said. “I think the appeal is that it is different and it’s not your standard four bedroom, four bathroom house.”

Ms Bercich said a lot of inquiry was made after the Federal election on the weekend.
“It seemed people had a new-found confidence,” she said.
The residence was built by a husband-and-wife duo who had a passion for sustainability and history.
Historic railway sleepers, a red gum bathtub that was craned in, and sandstone steps from the infamous Boggo Road Gaol are just some of the materials used in the home.
The eclectic hideaway is in Wolffdene, between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Among the quirky features are marine pylons-once part of the Horn Island jetty, a staircase crafted from a Queensland maple tree, and a hand-carved marble sink.
Property records reveal the sellers paid $113,000 for the 4.38ha block of land in 1999.

Ms Bercich said she was confident the property would sell in coming weeks.
“We have an open home this Saturday which I imagine will be quite busy,” she said.
“I’m hoping that from that we will have an offer on the table and it will be sold.”
The property is not listed with a price however expressions of interest are being sought.
