Kuranda Village - 380m above sea level and just 25km northwest of Cairns yet it could be a world away, nestled among World Heritage Rainforest atop the Dividing Ranges and the gateway to the Tablelands and home to the thundering Barron Falls. Against this backdrop, you'll find 41-43 Black Mountain Road, Kuranda.
Just 15 minutes' drive from major shopping and the Cairns northern beaches, this 30 acre Estate offers a nature lover's dream - seclusion, privacy, rainforest surroundings, water frontage and a home to match the best available on the market today.
Set behind private gates, over your own bridge and down a private (500m) all-weather concrete driveway, the home itself sits in a quiet glade, carefully sited between views of the Barron River and the quieter waters of your own private lake - fed by mountain streams and complete with its own pontoon.
Built across three levels, this is a pole home the likes of which has never been seen in the region, 14m high at its highest point and combining historic timbers and an expanse of glass that truly brings the outside in, as you listen to the birdlife and watch over wallabies and the resident cassowaries.
Beyond even the uniqueness of its design, this is a home that won't disappoint, having been built to a high standard and updated to a modern level of finish, including one of the most stunning living areas you'll find - cool tiles, crisp lines, soaring ceilings and greenery everywhere you look. The kitchen is expertly equipped and the walk-in-pantry will never go amiss.
4 bedrooms are all exceptionally proportioned with dual master suites, each with its own ensuite, walk-in-robes, sitting room and balcony access - the Main taking up the entirety of the top floor and rivalling some apartments in size.
While it might feel a world away from anything, entertainers will be spoilt for choice, whether sitting among the trees, viewing the expanse from any of the balconies or down by the water. This truly is the kind of home it would be virtually impossible to recreate - and certainly one not to miss.
Offered for sale for the first time since construction, this is an opportunity the likes of which is rarely seen.
