(28.22 ha) where walking tracks meander throughout the elevated rainforest hills and gullies on this amazingly beautiful property which is only 1klm from the Bruce Highway and located within the Mission Beach Hinterland. Theres an abundance of tropical rainforest which forms this wildlife paradise. The dawn heralds a chorus of birds in the morning which is out of this world. At the entry to the property is a 15 acre clearing which is grassed with room to grow crops and become self-sufficient.

An exceptional place for relaxing, this creative accommodation building has been transformed from an 18m x 18m steel shed into a 9m x 18m accommodation area while leaving another 9m x 18m area for parking of vehicles or workshop area – theres room enough for both and more.located at the north-eastern most side of the property with a 474m road frontage.

Creative use of shipping containers have converted open areas into interesting rooms with clever placement to form more living spaces. An insulated ceiling over the living areas makes for comfortable living and cement floors are cool and easy maintenance.

Bedroom/library module and the kitchen/media room module are screened while the other areas are open and breezes are encouraged through the wide opening at the entrance of the building and drawn out through the louvers at the opposite end. Town water is convenient but rainwater for drinking is also collected from the massive roof area of the building.

While classed as a shed, you have the choice of applying to council to have the building reclassified as a dwelling or keep the shed classification and choose either one of another two building sites which have already been prepared with awesome views over the surrounding countryside and build your own special home amongst the trees.
