Margot Robbie's secret Aussie farm stay for sale
The Barbie star has visited the secluded acreage property several times over the past year, it can be revealed.
Known as The Orchard, the 2.99ha holding is set amid rainforest in the picturesque Tallebudgera Valley on the Gold Coast – not far from where the 34-year-old actor spent her childhood.
The property at 149 Petsch Creek Rd, which had operated as a short-term holiday rental, is marketed by Coastal agent, Ed Cherry.
Owner Chris Lang purchased the estate in April last year, but is selling up to pursue another opportunity with wife Chloe, who operates popular eateries, Tarte Bakery and Beach House.
Mr Cherry said a creek ran through the property, which was surrounded on three sides by national park, forming a 'private oasis'.
'This is a very special place and it's been Margot's retreat. She stays in the guest accommodation when she is here,' he said.
'It feels likes a slice of the Byron Hinterland paradise but in the middle of the Gold Coast, where you have privacy but also proximity.
'And the property itself is like an island with 500m of creek frontage, so you cross a concrete bridge over the water when you enter.'

The main residence is a renovated modern farmhouse combining contemporary comfort and country charm, with features including timber floors, panelled walls, and French doors.
Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are set over two levels, anchored by open-plan living spaces and a beautiful kitchen with a butler's pantry and servery window opening onto wraparound decking.
A shed has been converted into guest accommodation or a separate entertainment space, complete with a bar, wood heater, and freestanding tub.
Other features include a pool with sun deck, pizza oven, infrared barrel sauna, ice bath, hot tub and an outdoor shower – together creating an ideal bush-style antidote to a Barbie dream house.
The property is named for its abundance of fruit and nut trees, veggie gardens and landscaped grounds.
'It is a hidden, high-end escape to reconnect, rejuvenate and simply soak up the beauty of nature,' the listing states.
Three-time Oscar nominee Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley are based in the US and returned to Queensland in the Easter holidays for the first time since welcoming a son in October last year.
PropTrack data shows the median house price in Tallebudgera Valley has dropped 16 per cent to $1.84m over the past 12 months, following huge growth since the pandemic boom.

Warning for Australian travellers with rabies infections surge in Bali
Aussie travellers have been warned infection rates from rabies have surged in Bali, with popular tourist spots have been declared 'red zones.' Rabies-positive animals have been detected in areas such as South Kuta, Nusa-Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Jimbara and Changgu. The acting head of animal health Anak Agung Istri Brahmi Witari told the Courier Mail no more than five dogs were responsible for the cases. 'The dominance of the red zone in South Kuta is because the terrain has many bushes, so it is used as a nest by wild dogs, and this is one of the reasons,' Mr Witari said. The Courier Mail reported the Bali State Polytechnic Campus in Jimbaran and on Jalan Pratama vaccinated stray dogs on July 10, and victims were directed to local health clinics for treatment. Smart Traveller warned Australians rabies was presently a risk through Indonesia and the disease was 100 per cent fatal. The website said the deadly disease was mainly transmitted by bites from infected dogs, cats and monkey, but could also be transmitted by other mammals. Travellers have been urged to get vaccinated before they travelled to the popular holiday spot. 'To protect yourself from rabies get vaccinated prior to travel, avoid direct contact with dogs, don't feed or touch animals and avoid contact with other animals, including bats and monkeys,' the website stated.

Dolly Parton named Guinness World Records icon
US country star Dolly Parton has been named a Guinness World Records icon for holding 11 record-breaking titles. As part of its 70th anniversary celebrations, the company - which lists world record achievements - has honoured the Jolene singer, 79, with an Icon certificate, presented to her at her studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Her record titles include most consecutive decades with top 10 album entries on the Billboard country chart, most studio albums released by a female country singer, and most Grammy nominations for a female country artist. She was also the first country singer to be nominated for the EGOT - an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony - aka the "Grand Slam of showbusiness". Craig Glenday, editor in chief at Guinness World Records, said: "Dolly is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated writers and performers in the history of country music, as reflected in her many Guinness World Records certificates, but her reach and influence extends far beyond the musical world. "There are so many projects close to her heart - poverty relief, education, medical research and of course the Imagination Library free-books campaign - and it's these important, life-changing initiatives that propels Dolly into a different league. She truly is a living legend, and it's an honour to bestow GWR Icon status upon her." Guinness World Records published its first book in London in 1955 and has sold more than 143 million copies in over 100 countries since then. The Icon certificate has previously been awarded to stars including Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Drake, Sir Paul McCartney, and Sir Elton John. Parton, who is from Tennessee, released her debut album, Hello, I'm Dolly in 1967 and had a run of hits in the 1970s. By the 1980s she was a huge star and made her movie debut in screwball comedy 9 To 5. Her most recent album was Rockstar, released in 2023, and she recently featured in a version of Sabrina Carpenter's Please Please Please. She is also the co-owner of the Dollywood Company, which operates Dollywood, a theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
