Model Cat McNeil and NBA husband Miles Plumlee list retreat

55 Rainforest Rd Tanawah

International model Catherine McNeil, who once described herself as “the bogan from Logan” and her American NBA husband Miles Plumlee have listed their Sunshine Coast estate for sale.

Located at 55 Rainforest Road in Tanawha, the sprawling 1.92ha property comes, predictably, with a tennis court and both basketball and netball rings.

And for those keen to get runway fit, there is a gymnasium complete with full length mirrors, air conditioning and acoustic, shock absorbent flooring.

“For those who prefer a little h20, there’s the deluxe 15m solar heated saltwater pool and indoor 12 person spa,” the listing by Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty agents Melissa Schembri and Daniel Rees says.

The home features a plethora of wellness facilities

McNeil, now 36, won a model search contest hosted by magazine Girlfriend when she was just 14 years old.

She went on to feature in Harpers Bazaar and Vogue, the Australian Fashion Week and in campaigns for high-end designers such as Hugo Boss, Dolce and Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Christian Dior and Hermes.

She married Plumlee in 2023, describing the day as “by far the happiest day of my life”.

The couple bought their Tanawha retreat in 2021 and recently splurged $11 million on a stunning Tuscan-inspired chateau on 10 acres also on the Sunshine Coast.

They have a 20-month-old son called Atticus and another baby boy due early next month.

Cat said they had made some wonderful memories at their Tanawha home.

“It is in this rainforest pocket and the layout kind of forces you to enjoy the outdoors,” she said.

“We have made some great memories and will miss it but we have moved on to something that suits our family.”

Cat said that the property was the perfect place for Atticus to explore nature, and they were happy to have been able to buy again on the Sunshine Coast.

“It is so great to raise kids here,” she said, adding that while their Tanawha home was close to everything, it was also removed from the hustle and bustle.

“We had Atticus’ first birthday here which was perfect, and we have had Christmas parties here.

“It is a great place for hosting but has really been my very own sanctuary.”

For now, Cat says she is just “mumming”.
