Step inside The Old Bakehouse, one of Mt Molloy's most distinctive heritage properties. Originally the Pioneer Bakery and McDonagh's General Store, this landmark has also been Mrs Hill's Café, an antique shop, a vintage department store, and a cherished family home-now beautifully restored and brimming with character. Today, the property offers two fully self-contained residences, featuring 3-4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (including a clawfoot bath), 2 kitchens, and 2 laundries, presenting a rare lifestyle and business opportunity. Currently operating as a popular Airbnb at $390 per night, it has also recently returned $1,150 per week as a long-term rental, making it ideal for multi-generational living, short-term accommodation, or a boutique business. The home combines historic charm with modern comfort, showcasing hand-hewn, hand-sawn timber pre-dating the local sawmill, tongue-and-groove walls, red cedar accents, and rare rainforest timber floorboards. Recent restorations include re-stumping, re-roofing, and careful preservation of its original craftsmanship. Set on a lush 782m² block abundant with established tropical fruit trees-including guava, Brazilian cherry, loquat, soursop, passionfruit, citrus, papaya, mango, jackfruit, lychee, and a magnificent 100-year-old tamarind-the property offers a tranquil, tropical lifestyle in the centre of town, with effortless access to Mount Molloy's cafés, pub, and community facilities, while still being easy to reach via Mossman-Mount Molloy Road for travel to Port Douglas, Mossman, and Mareeba. With a climate once praised by National Geographic and an average temperature of around 23°C, the property enjoys warm, pleasant conditions year-round, striking the perfect balance of comfort and charm.
