Rainforest-inspired home hidden away in Dorset cul-de-sac and complete with wooden footbridge hits the market for £2.5m
A tropical rainforest-inspired home that looks like it belongs in a secluded woodland is up for sale for £2.5million.
The Daintree in Wimborne, Dorset, is a state-of-the-art contemporary property, tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac.
The owners completely remodelled the dated 1960s property and only completed the new-look home a few months ago.
The luxurious property is now said to flow perfectly between inside and outside, with full-height glazing, bi-fold doors and a wooden footbridge.
The Daintree is panelled with wood to create a real link with nature and the outside, but it also features smart technology with underfloor central heating, intelligent programmable lighting and security, and remote controlled blinds.

On the ground floor is an open plan kitchen (pictured) and a separate drawing room and a guest bedroom with shower room
The house is also a 48-minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, beyond Wareham. Pictured: One of the hallways in the house with tropical wallpaper
The house is arranged over three levels and has 4,294 sq ft of accommodation and as it is so tucked away, many of its neighbours will not even be aware of the stunning property.
On the ground floor is an open plan kitchen, living, dining room, a separate drawing room and a guest bedroom with shower room.

On the lower ground floor is the study and gym, cinema room and garage.
On the first floor there is a living area and four bedrooms – which all have their own en-suite.
The property has a concealed bar in the living area, a coffee station in the kitchen and a fully fitted laundry room on the first floor. The walk-in larder and utility room and guest cloakroom are also cleverly hidden.
The woodland garden has a wraparound deck and outdoor shower in 0.6 of an acre.
The hardwood deck is perfect for entertaining, as it opens into the kitchen and family room.
There is another terrace at the front of the grand mansion which has a glass balustrade.
Each bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and the property has a boot room and larder.
The picturesque house is just over a mile away from the centre of the historic market town of Wimborne.
Wimborne is home to the Tivoli theatre and many cafes, bars and restaurants.
The new owner will also be able to bask in nature, as it is relatively close to New Forest National Park, east of Ringwood.
The house is also a 48-minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, beyond Wareham.

The luxurious house also has many different species of plant growing in the gardens that surround it
Jamie Morten, from Savills, who are selling the property, said: ‘I think this really has to be one of Wimborne’s most amazing homes.
‘It’s quite a departure from the traditional homes you normally find here.
‘They took advantage of the site, which is slightly sloping and the house backs onto woodland.
‘They’ve then cleared areas to create these decks and put in tropical-style planting. It’s very imaginative and clever, something really special.
‘One of the owners has a bespoke furniture company and they have showcased the best of what they do here – there’s a concealed custom bar and beautiful walk-in pantries. There’s space for a gym and cinema room, you could easily have a hot tub.
‘It’s very secluded, tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac and there’s a little opening in the the greenery.
‘You can’t really see a lot from the road. Some of the neighbours might be surprised what’s hiding at the end of their road. Yet it’s only a mile from the town centre.’
