In the relaxed village of Boreen Point on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast stands the calming green Queenslander of Lucy Folk and her family.

The home was listed for sale at the end of 2025, asking for offers of $4 million-plus. Eight months on, the high-end bohemian retreat still hasn’t sold, with the Domain listing soliciting interested parties to “Bring Offers!!!”

The design of Lucy Folk’s home
The home, set among the fern fronds near Noosa, affects a casual and undone demeanor with its calming pea-green façade, white shutters and raw timber decks, yet this is the result of two years of renovating. The vision of the creative couple was combined with the experience of interior designer Tamsin Johnson, plus a list of lauded creatives who contributed to the bohemian-style masterpiece.
Built in the 1930s, its original charm is what won over the pair in the first place. “We just fell in love with the property because it was old, sort of that Caribbean slash Australian, plantation-shutter kind of vibe, with this extraordinary tropical garden, sitting right on this lake, about 30 minutes away from Noosa,” Lucy told Russh.
They had never intended on moving to the area, but when they came upon it in 2020 after returning to Australia from Paris, they felt a synergy with the property and potential to put their own spin on it. When approaching the interiors, Lucy explained to the publication that her approach was “not being too precious”.
Her mum is an interior designer and influenced choices such as the sun motifs above some of the doorways. Yet the guiding design light was to make a space that felt like a true reflection of the couple. “I think there’s such a formula these days with interiors, and there’s all these trends,” she told Russh.
The living and dining area in the five-bedroom home has French doors and plantation shutters that open to take in the lake views. The breezy design style comes through in whitewashed walls, Mediterranean-inspired colours and decor, and a kitchen that features effervescent yellow cabinetry.
Custom concrete vanities finished with Venetian plaster are paired with terrazzo tiles by Will Cooper for Ash NYC and Astra Walker hardware in the bathrooms. While the home also heroes custom pendants by Lockerroom, sconces by Ben Mazey and ceramics by Ceri Muller.
Named Le Bateau Ivre, meaning ‘The Drunken Boat’ after the poem by French poet Arthur Rimbaud, the home is rumoured to have hosted visits from The Rolling Stones. For anyone in the market for a barefoot-bohemian meets rock ’n’ roll escape, the property is listed with Villa Prestige Properties.
