This property, featuring a two-storey, character-filled Queenslander nestled amongst a hectare of gardens with native and exotic fruit and nut trees, is an inspiring combination of conservation and production/earning potential. Overlooking its own 38 hectare Wet Tropics rainforest Nature Refuge and with spectacular views of Mt Bartle-Frere to the north-east and further to the Coral Sea and Barnard Islands, the property is the ideal Rainforest Retreat or Eco-Tourism Opportunity!
The two-storey Queenslander home has all the character you could want with polished floors and windows and verandas on every side to allow for excellent cross ventilation - no air-conditioning required. A wood stove in the middle of the home keeps any winter chills at bay. Upstairs are two spacious living areas, kitchen, dining, two large bedrooms and a smaller study or third bedroom, bathroom with corner spa overlooking the rainforest, and separate toilet. Downstairs has two more bedrooms, a second bathroom, linen cupboard, laundry, covered clothes lines and double carport. Every room looks out onto garden or forest. An above-ground, salt-water pool is joined to the house by a wooden walk-way. The house is self-sufficient for rainwater with 60,000 L of tank storage (plus an additional 20,000 litres for stock watering).
Two permanent creeks traverse the property, with a waterfall and swimming hole just below the house. Black wattle from the rainforest margins provides a sustainable source of firewood. There is also a chook yard and movable chook pen, solid timber swing set and the house yard is fully fenced with dog-proof fencing.
The property also features 5.7 hectares (14 acres) of deep red volcanic soil cleared and suitable for grazing a small herd of cattle, sheep or goats with the 3 fenced grazing paddocks each having water troughs for stock and basic cattle yards with race and neck-bail.
The old dairy has been converted into an extensive shed complex with a workshop, art studio and air-drying shelves to store cabinet timbers. The tall shed was designed by the previous owners to house a top-hat kiln with two bases, suitable for firing large clay sculptures - so could easily be modified.
With much more on offer, you really need to see this exceptional property to take it all in, don't hesitate, call today to arrange your private viewing!
