Like a wooden submarine rising from the forest, this lovely small acreage property is packed full of surprises, from the quirky octagonal design to the creek down the back.
Propped on metal stilts, the house has a clever central vent to allow air to circulate and light to enter. The kitchen/living room leads onto the balcony, which is also accessible through the master bedroom.
Two sets of stairs lead underneath the house, where you'll find the BBQ, water-tank and laundry.
The owners have spent two years putting the finishing touches on their dream house, but have been forced to sell due to a change in circumstances. The fruit trees are just getting established and the oven is brand-new.
Julatten is a delightful pocket of the Tablelands, just 30 minutes from Port Douglas and 75 minutes from Cairns international airport. At 500m, the temperature is 5 degrees cooler than on the coast, and the wildlife is abundant, with more than 200 bird species including the endangered southern Cassowary, as well as echinda, platypus and tree kangaroos.
If you've been looking for a weekend escape from the city, or a permanent getaway, this should be on your list to inspect.
