The small township of Forsayth in Central Far North Queensland, is some 400km south west of Cairns,and halfway to the fishing mecca of the Gulf of Carpenteria. With a history of gold mining and prospecting, this area is home to a couple of more modern gold mines, and is paradise for prospectors and fossickers, with a wealth of mineral rocks and gemstones for the keen lapidarists and adventurers. This is the outback,offering the ultimate lifestyle for those who love the real Australia! This homestead style home is approximately 2 years old, and set amidst a prolific garden of succulents and other plants which flourish in dry conditions. This magnificent garden, a labour of love created by the owner, also features a colourful display of rockery, both rough and polished and skilfully incorporated into this outstanding horticultural creation. The home is approximately 250 square metres and has 2 large double air conditioned bedrooms plus a huge air conditioned “granny flat” with private entrance. THe residence also has 2 bathrooms and a generous open plan kitchen /living area, also air conditioned. Verandahs flank 3 sides of the building and the outdoor entertaining area is incorporated into the rear verandah and has its own outdoor gas cooking facility, alongside a servery from the inside kitchen. Outbuildings include a huge 3 bay carport, plus a steel framed completely secure greenhouse/workspace/storage area of at least 200 square metres, which is also insulated and enclosed with wire mesh cladding. Under this same roof is an air conditoned workshop cum den, and a large storeroom with roller door. The residence is a sturdy steel framed insulated with colorbond cladding and gyprock lined interior. All of this plus a copious water supply from 5 tanks (capacity 21,500 litres per tank) plus town water, and the garden has a semi automatic irrigation system. Energy efficient, with solar hot water system, and solar power panels on roof. All this on almost a half acre of land! Arguably the best house in Forsyth.
