Shinrin-yoku (Japanese for "forest-bathing") every day in this rainforest retreat! The strains of urban life will disappear as you live in this fully self-sufficient, off-grid 3 bedroom home, nestled in your own 2.5 acres of the Daintree National Park. A chance to immerse yourself in the flora and fauna, butterflies and birds in one of the most beautiful (and oldest) rainforests in the world.
This well-constructed raised cedar timber house has two stairways and an expansive undercover verandah to allow for alfresco living at its finest. The bedrooms have full-length double barn doors that let the outside in from the verandah. With views to Thornton's Peak and cooling sea breezes (you are only 2 mins drive to Thornton Beach), you will not only be comfortable, but surrounded by banana, paw paw, passionfruit, Tahitian lime, lemongrass, turmeric, galangal, coriander and spinach, you won't be hungry either!
The kitchen is beautifully finished with timber benchtops. Gas cooking oven and cooktop and a Bosch instantaneous gas hot water system (with gas certifications), means that you can still be civilised when living away from civilisation'.
A separate guest cabin offers additional space as an extra income earner or a place to accommodate friends and relatives when visiting.
The house can run on underground spring water or rainwater.
Despite seeming remote, you are near to all local facilities and local school.
