Escape to paradise and feel like you’re always on holiday with this brilliant property located within the Julatten hinterland that boasts one of the world’s best temperate climates, all within 25 minutes’ drive of Port Douglas.

A custom entry statement and picturesque driveway provides the first indication of what lies within at ‘Whitehaven’.

Meandering under shady, privacy-ensuring trees, the long driveway eventually arrives at its wide, sealed conclusion that prefaces the house and shed before encircling a rainforest garden that allows for convenient traffic flow, especially when entertaining guests.

While the lush beautifully maintained lawns and gardens draw your initial attention, there are also a few unique indications that suggest this property offers something very special and it doesn’t take long before your senses are drawn to the soothing sound of running water.

The source of this water is spectacularly revealed at the end of an illuminated garden-fringed path – a pristine naturally-fed lake whose clear refreshing water is not only a haven for water lilies, turtles and ducks, but is also the private indulgence of the current owners who swim in it regularly via their bespoke and easily accessible sandy ‘beach’ entry. And once refreshed, the ornate lakeside rotunda is the perfect spot for whiling the day away.

Should you be able to drag yourself away from this picture-perfect setting, the illuminated path returns to the expansive, covered verandah that wraps around the side of the steel framed Queenslander-style home, overlooking either the lake or gardens and mountain ranges in the distance. Complete with built in barbeque and wine bar, it’s not hard to see why this is the preferred location of many a relaxing hour.

Bi-fold doors and a large servery window seamlessly connect the verandah to the large well-appointed kitchen that has all your entertaining needs perfectly catered for.

At the heart of the home is the open plan lounge and dining space that also directly accesses the verandah. Its combination of air conditioning, ceiling fan and cozy slow combustion log fire will ensure your optimum year-round comfort.

Emanating off the main living area are the three good sized bedrooms, all of which feature air conditioning, ceiling fans and built in wardrobes.

The oversized master is located privately at the front of the home and also offers a dressing room space, large ensuite with separate bath and shower, and tranquil nature inspired outlooks.

The second bedroom also features its own compact shower ensuite, while the third is in close proximity to the main bathroom.

And for rinsing off after a swim or tending the gardens, there is a fourth super convenient shower and toilet room that is accessed from outside.
