Nestled in the foothills of the Daintree National Park, you will own nearly 50 acres (19 hectares) of paradise complete with sweeping views across the world's oldest Daintree Rainforest. You will be only minutes away from the Daintree River, magnificent Cape Kimberley Beach and Cape Tribulation.
This timber pole home offers great family living and a fantastic setting for a tourism venture. It has its own dam and fruit trees, with huge, naturally vegetated areas.
The main house utilises the prevailing breezes with slatted windows and full-length doors to keep the interior cool. Leading off its expansive verandahs are 2 bedrooms, a living area, a spacious kitchen and bathroom (separate toilet) upstairs. There are 2 further bedrooms and large living areas and laundry downstairs. These could be easily made into two separate dwellings.
It's hard not to be impressed as you walk along the inviting walkway, like a castle moat drawbridge, from the dam up to the entrance of the house.
Everything has been built to allow for full enjoyment of its natural surroundings. A huge sundeck at the water's edge with outdoor bath tub (with hot water) means you can luxuriate surrounded by nature.
A lily covered pond is overlooked by a self-sufficient chalet, complete with power and free-standing outdoor shower.
There is an excellent solar system for clean, sustainable living. The property also offers extra income opportunities via 2 on-site cabins with plenty of local wildlife including cassowaries - lending itself well to self-guided nature walks, tropical bird watching and more.
A large shed/camp kitchen with pizza oven offers the perfect place for gatherings and social events.
At the rear of the house is a chook palace fit for any harem.
The property comprises:
• 6 bedrooms
• 18 solar panels on roof
• 48 volt system with 24 batteries
