Over many decades this exclusive home site has been developed to enhance its natural rainforest surrounds, with acres of manicured lawns, low maintenance botanical garden style plantings, ornamental and tropical fruit bearing trees and its own private spring fed dam.
From its impressive 500 metre* palm lined concrete and bitumen drive way climbing to the commanding home site, this property is ideal for those wanting the privacy and security of a mountain backdrop with impressive views over the surrounding countryside of cane fields, rainforest and coastal views. The combination of a mountain backdrop and water facing creates a feeling of calmness that under Fengshui principles is said to be auspicious and can bring good luck.
Located just minutes from the world famous Silky Oaks Lodge, and less than half an hour from either Port Douglas to the south, or the Daintree World heritage rainforests to the north, its position is perfect.
Constructed on the property is a Mediterranean style concrete and timber cottage together with a large storage shed which could be utilised as a caretakers residence and workshed or demolished to make way for the exclusive residence the property could so easily carry.
Over the years the owners imported and planted many rare and exotic fruit trees. Some of the remaining trees include: Pink Pomelo, Lychees, Rambutan, Myer Lemon, Black Sapote, Miracle Fruit, Ice Cream Bean Trees, Durian, Jack Fruit, Coffee, South African Sapote, Quararabea Cordata, Bread Fruit Nolii, Large Bread fruit, Orange, Oval Cumquat, Oil Palms, Betel Nut, Avocado, and Abiu (Sweet Yellow).
On the property is a plantation of some 500+ mature pine trees. The original plantation numbered 1000 trees however quite a number of the original trees have been harvested over time for building materials and some were lost.
