Enter a world of natural beauty and sensual delights, in your own new home, right here
where the rainforest meets the reef. Exquisite in construction and presentation, this
sanctuary of stillness is located on 1 hectare of superb Daintree Rainforest, a lazy 1.3
kilometre walk through stunning rainforest to the beautiful and secluded Cow Bay beach in
tropical north Queensland.
The entire home is built to an exacting standard, using high-quality materials throughout
(Dennis Verri Builder). Solidly built on a concrete slab, the home uses steel-reinforced,
concrete-filled Besser block construction, rendered inside and out in modern, pleasing-tothe-
eye colours.
Perfect external symmetry -The home boasts an impressive atrium roof design with wide pillar-less eaves, which along with the abundant modern louvre windows, helps cool the interior and evoke a sense of tropical elegance Internally, the flexible open-plan
design allows the house to be reconfigured according to the seasons or to your individual
taste. Even an extra bedroom could easily be configured within this most-flexible of floor
plans.
Each of the large open bedrooms (3.80m x 3.85m) has a Daikin Inverter air conditioner
(cooling only), Rosewood bi-fold doors, which allow the room to be closed-off when
required, and each has its own ensuite bathroom (with built-in robes) which overlooks the
tropical garden. One bathroom has a rainforest colour scheme and the other, a beachside
colour theme. Feature walls within the home are painted in vibrant tropical colours.
The raised central “tower” over the kitchen allows light to spill into the centre of the home,
while simultaneously allowing the house to breathe – warm air escapes from its high
louvres, drawing in cooler air from lower down. The kitchen has Caesarstone bench tops
and kickplates, and includes Euro gas hotplates, a Westinghouse gas fan-forced oven, a
Fisher and Paykel single-drawer dishwasher, a built-in Robin Hood ironing centre (if you
must!), appliance cupboards for the uncluttered look, and an Insinkerator. There is
absolutely no need to rough-it in the rainforest!! Enjoy long guilt-free showers or baths in
the endless pure water supply from nature.
The other five “rooms” in this open, breezy tropical haven are currently configured as an
entrance hall, loungeroom, sitting room, dining room and study. How might you lay it out to
best suit your lifestyle?
The state-of-the-art 240-volt solar system comprises 21 roof-mounted solar panels, 12
large batteries (48 volt), and a Yanmar 7-KVA back-up diesel generator. Other features,
including NBN satellite broadband, a Biolytix septic worm-farm system (hence the
Insinkerator to feed vegie scraps to the worms), 2 underground rainwater tanks (total water
storage 58,000 litres), 23 tropical fruit trees and a vegetable garden, make this an
environmentally-friendly place of retreat in the rainforest.
With beautifully cool polished-concrete Hyperfloors, commercial-grade powder-coated
aluminium louvres, windows and doors all round, tinted glass, quality Hunter stainlesssteel
ceiling fans throughout, colourbond roofing, colourbond leaf gutter-guard, purposebuilt
battery and generator rooms, and a 2-vehicle carport with workshop behind a lockable
rolladoor, this rock-solid, immaculate 6-year-old, low-maintenance home is ready for your
easy living.
