A whole new appreciation of sunrises and sunsets is just one of the simple pleasures you will enjoy from this wonderfully designed home in the highly sought-after Mowbray Valley, just outside of Port Douglas.Set on almost 8 acres (3.2ha) of predominantly clear, gently sloping land, the sprawling Queenslander-style home is a mere seven years young, so you'll have many more years of memory making in front of you.The discreet driveway gives nothing away but once you make your way along it, you won't be disappointed.A grove of mature trees screens the entry to the home that is elevated in true Queenslander style to enhance natural air flow.The steps from the oversized carport lead up onto the wide pacific jarrah decking that wraps around the entire home - perfect for entertaining or just sitting back and enjoying your unspoiled views that on one side combine gently sloping lawns with cane fields, paddocks, the banks of the Mowbray River and rainforest-clad ranges in the distance. The other side offers a more dramatic outlook as the home sits elevated above the garden below; an area that, according to local historians, was once a community market garden and preferred camping spot for travellers preparing to make the trip up the Bump Track to Julatten. The impressiveness of the home from the outside is perfectly complemented inside, no more so than with the stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living area that is finished with spotted gum floorboards, soaring cathedral ceilings, multiple ceiling fans and floor to ceiling windows and doors that provide wonderful natural light and take full advantage of nature's canvas.Those with a passion for entertaining will love the kitchen that provides the perfect place for bringing family and friends together with its large island bench, walk-in pantry, good amount of storage space, gas cooktop, feature pendant lighting and servery window.Large extended decks on either side of the combined living area further enhance the joy of entertaining and provide a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living.
