PRICE DROPPED – VENDORS MUST SELL! Total privacy, magnificent views, low cost living and the best climate in the world is all yours in this genuine fully restored, Nth facing Queenslander, set on 5 acres adjacent World Heritage rainforest.This is the very last home on Mt Lewis Rd before you head into the World Heritage Wet Tropics Area. Elevated, offering fantastic mountain views and absolute privacy, the home was painstakingly moved, meticulously restored and engineered to High Category 3 Cyclone Rating.
The property enjoys an easement to beautiful Bushy Creek for swimming etc, and has fully established gardens attracting endless birds and butterflies, with cleared areas should you need, for horses etc..
Originally built in Mossman in the 1930′s the home uses Kauri Pine, Silky-Oak and Tulip-Oak hardwood for the flooring, so the true character of the era has been kept and lovingly restored. The kitchen was upgraded just a few years ago in sympathy with the style of the home, the bedrooms are generous and the bathroom features a genuine cast-iron claw-foot bath. The home is fully air-conditioned, fully insulated, fully screened and as recent as March this year had solar panels installed with which to feed power back to the grid.
Within the wrap-around enclosed verandah, the current owners have created space as a studio, a music room, an office area, dining room and more. Brand new windows were part of the restoration, and offer fabulous views across to Mt Perseverance and beyond. There’s ample parking underneath the home for 2 cars and even rear access by car to the back door for those who cannot do stairs. Pristine water is legally gravity fed, direct from Leera Creek, providing the home with endless, high pressure, pure mountain water direct from the source, to the three holding tanks. The Council Rates, like the temperatures, are significantly lower than those of the coastal plain, making this the ideal place to live. Julatten enjoys a climate at least 3-4 degrees cooler than the coast all year round, and an average annual rainfall of 2000ml.
This is a particularly spectacular property, a rare Queenslander in an area of magnificent natural beauty. Call Caroline Yarr for further information or to inspect, 0409 365 261.
