Ananda House - Full Estate | Pool & Infrared Sauna

Wake to birdsongs, morning light and the gentle rhythm of village life. Nestled amongst trees and abundant birdlife, Ananda House is a place to slow down, reconnect and simply be in luxury. Meaning "bliss" in Sanskrit, Ananda offers six comfortable bedrooms, three bathrooms, a resort-style pool, and a Wellness Pavilion with an infrared sauna space for quiet reflection or Family fun. Though surrounded by nature, the cafés, shops and markets of Samford Village are just a two-minute stroll away. The space Property Profile Searching for one of Samford’s most luxurious private escapes where wellness, design and nature come together? Welcome to Ananda House 🪷 — a beautifully curated sanctuary where every space has been intentionally designed to help you slow down, reconnect and savour the simple pleasures of country living. Hidden behind established gardens and backing onto peaceful reserve land, this lovingly restored Queenslander offers the rare luxury of feeling a world away while remaining just a short stroll from the cafés, restaurants, boutiques and village charm that make Samford so loved. Spend sun-filled days by the resort-style magnesium pool, retreat to the Wellness Pavilion for an infrared sauna session or mindful movement practice, or gather around the fire pit as evening settles gently across the valley. Children can roam, play and explore while grown-ups enjoy long conversations, local delicacies and slower rhythms beneath the stars. Inside, six beautifully appointed bedrooms, three full bathrooms and multiple living spaces invite both connection and retreat. Families and groups can come together with ease while still finding quiet corners to read, reflect and recharge. Natural light, cooling breezes and leafy outlooks flow throughout the home, creating an atmosphere that feels expansive, grounded and deeply restful. The heart of the home was made for togetherness — morning coffees on the deck, leisurely shared meals, board games after dinner and afternoons that unfold without agendas or schedules. Hotel-quality linen, thoughtfully selected organic amenities and a welcome basket featuring locally sourced treats offer a warm introduction to both the home and the wonderful Samford community. One of Ananda House’s greatest luxuries is its location. Leave the car behind and wander to artisan bakeries, cafés, restaurants, gelato shops and local markets, or venture a little further to discover mountain lookouts, lakes, walking trails and some of South East Queensland’s most beautiful countryside. Whether you are gathering family, celebrating with friends, hosting a wellness retreat or simply craving a slower pace for a few days, Ananda House offers a place to pause, reconnect and remember what matters most.
