Margot Robbie stayed at the Tallebudgera Valley property
A stunning rustic retreat frequented by Hollywood star Margot Robbie has hit the market with a $4.9m asking price.
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 property is known as The Orchard for its abundance of fruit trees

The main residence is a renovated modern farmhouse combining contemporary comfort and country charm, with features including timber floors, panelled walls, and French doors.

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.
