Possibly the most unique and luxurious property in urban Darwin, this private sanctuary is one of only a few located on the Rapid Creek reserve. Set on just over 8000m, this amazing example of tropical luxury is both private and close to all of the amenity of the Northern Suburbs of Darwin. Imagine, a private rural style oasis that is only minutes from an international airport and includes ongoing income potential to help cover the cost of ownership.
This opulent property is currently being used as a residence for the current owner with additional income through an Air BNB style short term letting on the additional dwellings and the main home when not in use by the owner. The property consists of 4 self-contained villas, an expansive main house, a salt water swimming pool, a communal kitchen with BBQ and fridge, a wet season dam, large aviary and expansive lawns and gardens to explore. With over $230,000 in revenue in 2022 the extra income makes this property hard to ignore. There are significant forward bookings for this season and the next resulting in instant income generating opportunities for the new owner.
The main house combines the musings of a modern luxury home with that of a safari lodge. Wide hallways and high ceilings are a common theme throughout the home. The immense size of the home cannot be understated with multiple court yards and outdoor living and entertaining areas as well as a generous open plan layout internally. The main bedroom includes a walk in robe and an oversized ensuite with its own water feature. The remaining rooms are also large with all being able to accommodate king sized beds. The kitchen is open plan with loads of storage and boasts a massive breakfast bar in the island bench and is orientated to be the center of the home. The finishes and fixtures are unique and of the highest standard and come together to create a truly mesmerizing lifestyle experience.
There are also 4 Villas on the property, all of which accommodate king sized bed and include their own ensuite, patio and small kitchenette. Larger meals can be cooked on the BBQ in the communal kitchen which is located beside the saltwater swimming pool. There is ample parking for guests in the villas and they are far enough away from each other that privacy is maintained, alternatively there is an opportunity for guests to mingle near the pool or throughout the lush tropical gardens.
There is a circular all weather driveway which wraps around the large aviary to ensure there are no challenges with vehicles moving about the property, there are a number of undercover parking spots and store rooms for cars, boats, bikes etc. A small foot bridge crosses the wet season dam allowing free movement around the property by foot. This tranquil paradise is a haven amongst suburbia and represents a blue chip opportunity to own something special.
