The owners of Mowbray Valley Farm have regretfully decided to put this charming property on the market.
Just ten minutes from the centre of Port Douglas in the magical Mowbray Valley, this 1.2 acre property was established as a hobby farm with a cook’s kitchen all set for jam-making, bottling and baking.
The house itself was built of mixed tropical hardwoods (silky oak, cedar and kauri) in about 1910, and relocated last year to its present location.
The entire house has been fully renovated in the past year.
The new kitchen (built with solid kauri pine benchtops) includes a commercial four-ring Zanussi gas stove, while the adjoining scullery has a washer, dryer and Miele dishwasher.
Outside you will find a 3,000 litre rainwater tank to water the starter orchard and veggie patch. The orchard itself consists of around 40 fruit trees planted in 2012, some of which are already bearing fruit.
Combined with energy-efficient lighting, the current set-up ensures low utility bills, as well as the opportunity to produce fruit and vegetables for the local markets and restaurants, which the current owners are already doing under the name of Mowbray Valley Farm.
There is plenty of room for off-street parking.
This is a reluctant sale but the vendors do wish to move on quickly, so have priced the property extremely competitively.
