If you like your lifestyle properties a bit outside the box, you might want to have a closer look at this one that provides all the must haves including a huge home, two massive fully optioned sheds and direct access to a beautiful freshwater creek.Set on more than 6700m2 (approximately 1.66 acres) and fringed by sugar cane paddocks, this property provides a solid foundation on which you can create your own private sanctuary.Set back from the road and screened by tropical palms and gardens, the large two storey brick and tile home cuts an imposing figure.In its current configuration it is effectively two homes under one roof - one upstairs and one down. Tiled stairs at both the front and back of the home lead to the upper level that is adorned with stunning polished timber floorboards throughout the main living areas and into one of the bedrooms.The large open plan kitchen and dining space is made for entertaining, as is the breezy, extra wide covered balcony that wraps around the rear of the home. Both inside and out are perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the tranquil sugar cane, mountain and valley views.Be inspired by the gourmet kitchen with its feature stone benchtops, ample gloss white cabinetry, oven, dishwasher, four-burner hotplate, walk-in pantry/storage and the option of either air conditioning or cooling ceiling fan overhead.An ornate archway prefaces the entry to the equally impressive lounge room that comes complete with air conditioning, chandelier, ceiling rose, nature-inspired views and direct access onto the deep front balcony.The remainder of the upstairs layout is accessed via a traditional hallway. To the rear, the oversized tiled laundry opens onto a dedicated clothesline balcony. The two bedrooms are separated by the bathroom whose floor-to-ceiling patterned onyx tiles, spa bath and gold anodized tapware and shower frame create an air of opulence.Originally two bedroom spaces, the cavernous master suite comprises the bedroom and a parent's retreat that could double as a nursery, study, or be converted back into two rooms.Downstairs it's much the same again, with the current layout comprising a massive open plan lounge, dining and (full) kitchen space, an oversized dedicated bedroom, large office (previously a bedroom - could be converted back), laundry, bathroom, numerous storage/multipurpose rooms and direct access to the single lock-up garage, double carport and expansive covered patio areas. Retain it in its current format as a ready made granny flat/teenager's retreat or remodel and potentially cater for large families, extended family, guest accommodation, permanent tenants - the possibilities are endless.Beyond the home the offering continues to impress in the form of two sheds - a six-bay 30 x 12 metre storage shed and a 24 x 13 metre, high clearance multipurpose shed comprising a half-length concrete floor, full power, workshop area, maintenance pit with power points, small mezzanine level, lockable storage area, four drive through entries and a 25-panel solar array on the roof.The predominantly grassed allotment is interspersed with palms, garden beds, a herb garden, fire pit, barbeque hut, dual driveways and fencing between the rear of the home and the first shed - perfect for kids or securing pets. And for additional pet security, there is also a separately fenced exercise pen with three kennels.And just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any better, 200 metres in two directions puts you on the sandy banks of the local freshwater creek with its choice of refreshing swimming holes.Add to that the 2 kilometres to the highly regarded Miallo State School (primary) and 10-minute drive to Mossman for all your amenities and necessities and the attractiveness of this prospect becomes all the more apparent.Personal inspections are recommended, so for all the details contact Shane on 0409 417 316 or swight.portdouglas@ljhooker.com.au
