This home is a magnificent fusion of Classic Queenslander and stunning, sustainable tropical architecture. There are no shortcuts here. Pure quality and intelligence are overlaid with ultimate style in a unique location at Wangetti Beach in Tropical North Queensland.
The original home was built in the 1920s for the Railway Station Master at Babinda (just south of Cairns) and was built of the finest local rainforest timbers by true craftsmen. It has been recently relocated and painstakingly restored then extended with the creative stylish influence of prominent tropical architect David Quigley. The results speak for themselves. This truly is the best blend of traditional and modern you will ever encounter.
Wangetti is a close to getaway just 15 minutes from Palm Cove resorts and 40 minutes from Cairns and Port Douglas. It is a beachside community next to pristine rainforest which opens onto golden sands and the azur Coral Sea. Quiet and private except for the birds and the ocean but close enough to enjoy both Port Douglas and Cairns.
The pictures paint a thousand words high ceilings in the original house and even higher windows in the additions. Upstairs features a master bedroom with large walk in robe and generous ensuite, linked via a deck to second living area, opening onto a huge deck, an entertainers delight.
There is a stunning white stone kitchen with EVERY feature you would expect of a house of this calibre.
A high tech study can double as a bedroom upstairs plus full guest bathroom
Downstairs is a luxury one bedroom apartment with huge shower room/ensuite and opening onto an alfresco entertaining area which includes a full hideaway kitchen.
You can entertain here or have house guests who really can do their own thing.
There is also a large laundry utility room with extra fridge/storage space.
This house would be a stunning holiday rental property for out of town/overseas owners who need a bolt hole to sneak back to when the world becomes too loud OR if you love to live in quiet tranquil surrounds with the beach at your back door and a stunning rainforest mountain backdrop.
