Nitro Circus Live co-founder Andy Edwards and his family are selling their Queensland holiday home.

Nitro Circus Live co-founder Andy Edwards and his wife Anyo Geddes are selling their much-loved holiday barn.

The award-winning Queensland retreat is known as the Little Red Barn and brought in $140,000 in short-stay accommodation revenue last financial year.

Little Red Bard at 216-228 Sunrise Rd, Doonan is on the market at $1.95m.

Andy Edwards and his wife Anyo Geddes are selling their much-loved holiday barn.

The barn, in the Noosa Hinterland, comes with an established accommodation business, its own Instagram following and a reputation built over years of welcoming guests.

Mr Edwards, the former CEO of Nitro Circus Group and co-founder of Nitro Circus Live, now co-leads immersive entertainment company Wundr.

The Sydney couple bought the property in 2021, during the lockdowns that prevented them from travelling to Queensland, seeking a family escape that could also earn its keep.

“We were looking for something unique and with character,” Mr Edwards said.

His family’s holiday home at 216-228 Sunrise Road, Doonan is up for sale.

He described the idea as a “holiday home with benefits” — somewhere the family could escape to that could also bring in an income.

The barn delivered both, earning an income between the family’s own holidays.

“One of our favourite memories is sitting on the veranda with a coffee in the stillness of the morning, watching the wallabies bounce by,” he said.

Set on 6,401 sqm, the three-bedroom red timber barn has a vaulted timber ceiling above its open living and dining spaces, a wood fireplace and airconditioning.

The main bedroom’s ensuite extends onto the veranda, where a freestanding cast iron bath faces the view.

Another bedroom sits downstairs, with a third in the upstairs loft and a separate landing nook. Outside are a heated circular concrete pool, fire pit and dam.

The property’s flexibility had been central to the purchase.

“It can be a great holiday home or an Airbnb business, but it also has so much untapped potential,” he said.

The land also offers potential for a second dwelling allowing a buyer to explore different options including accommodation for extended family or a separate residence alongside the barn.

With their children now 21 and 18 and doing their own thing, family trips to the barn are becoming less frequent, so the couple has decided to sell.

CJRE owner and Noosa selling agent Chris Jarrett is marketing the property.

He said the barn’s established income history was a key selling point in the changing investment market.

“We’ve already seen strong interest in The Little Red Barn,” Mr Jarrett said.

“The changes to negative gearing give investors more reason to look for properties that can pay their own way.

“That makes the earning potential of an established short-stay property like this particularly relevant.”

The Little Red Barn is listed with Chris Jarrett of CJRE for offers from $1.95m.
