Rock star's stunning $4million Gold Coast treehouse escape hits the market
A stunning Gold Coast hideaway favoured by UK rocker Sting has hit the market.
The treehouse escape is located in Currumbin in the Gold Coast hinterland and proved a popular retreat for Sting, 73, who had previously described the property as 'peaceful, beautiful and inspiring'.
The Gold Coast Bulletin reported that the tranquil property, dubbed 'Katta on Currumbin', was last sold in 2022 for $4.025million.
It is on the market once again, with agents taking expressions of interest.
Designed by architect Shane Denman, the house was completed in 2004.

Set on a 567 square metre block, the property comprises two self-contained homes, complete with a total of seven bedrooms and four bathrooms.
It's also a vista lover's paradise, with the unique home offering uninterrupted coastal views from Currumbin Estuary to Palm Beach in Surfers Paradise.
Surrounded by pristine crown land reserve, the property held the title of the area's most popular holiday rental for 15 years through accommodation portal Stayz.
Both properties boast high ceilings and glass walls to take full advantage of the idyllic surroundings.
The penthouse level features an open-plan living and dining space that opens onto an entertainer's balcony.
The kitchen has a butler's pantry, two fridges and on-demand sparkling water.
The luxe spaciousness extends to the subsequent three floors too, with each boasting its own outdoor areas for taking in the serenity.
'This is one of the most tightly held locations on the Gold Coast,' listing agent Lisa Papadopoulos told the publication.
'From the moment you arrive, you'll feel it. The air is different here – clean, crisp, alive with the scent of the ocean and rainforest.'
Sting and his wife Trudie have been together since 1982, and the couple share the same penchant for healthy living.
Their tantric sex life has been a hot topic for decades, after famously claiming to bed each other for hours on end back in the nineties.
In a recent interview with The Times, the music legend, 73, and his director wife, 71, who tied the knot in 1992, joked about what goes on behind closed doors, decades after the famous claim.
Sting, real name Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, shrugged: 'It could be worse. And the seven hours includes dinner, a movie and five hours of begging.'
The star has been plagued by questions about his energetic love life since he once gave the interview in which he boasted about the tantric sex sessions.
He previously clarified his infamous admissions during an interview for Bravo series Inside The Actor's Studio in 2014.
'The idea of tantric sex is a spiritual act,' he explained. 'I don't know any purer and better way of expressing a love for another individual than sharing that wonderful, I call it, 'sacrament.' I would stand by it. Not seven hours, but the idea.'
He then quipped, 'Seven hours includes movie and dinner,' generating laughs from the audience.
