If you are craving privacy and relish being in natural surrounds, look no further than this Nature Refuge.
This architecturally designed home is set on a south-facing hillside overlooking the top of Thiaki Creek valley, and is calling for a new owner to enjoy, protect and be custodian of its natural beauty and surrounds.
Standing out from the crowd, this property has the most breathtaking views from a separate 13 metre lookout tower containing a bedroom and two decks.
This elevated room allows you to surround yourself with the views of lush rainforest and an ever changing sky.
Below is a stone-clad, earth-covered dwelling, featuring a 1 bedroom studio with bathroom, open-plan living area with small kitchen, separate laundry/storage room and undercover patio; covering a total area of over 100m2.
Pember's Scrub Nature Refuge is located near Mt Hypipamee Crater on the Atherton Tablelands.
It is one of six adjoining nature refuges in a corridor linking large remnants of high-altitude rainforest.
The gently sloping aspect of the block means you are right in the middle of this very special location, with walking tracks through the refuge allowing you to get up closer to the other inhabitants on your block.
