With 2 houses, several sheds, greenhouses, garages, stables, tack-rooms and dams, this property has numerous opportunities. Once a palm nursery, some very rare palms stand tall here, their seeds much sought after. A giant Cannonball Tree provides seeds each year which are sold to a nursery in the USA. Currently an Adenium nursery and Thoroughbred Stud, there’s income to be made on this property. Tropical fruit trees thrive in the well drained loamy soil, the bore provides crystal-clear mountain water, 35 acres of fenced, improved pasture and it’s all bordered by a beautiful rainforest creek. Somewhat cooler than the coastal plains, this mountain getaway enjoys one of the four best climates in the world, according to National Geographic Society. Lower humidilty and a more moderate temperature, it’s no wonder Julatten has become a much sought after destination in far north queensland.
The main house is only 4 years old, with 3 generous bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The very large, well planned family kitchen is finished in Tasmanian Blackwood and boasts European appliances and bi-fold windows to open out to a servery to the tiled patio and outdoor entertaining area, all of which overlooks the inground pool. 2 large open plan living areas, even a fireplace to enjoy on winter nights. The second home, currently rented at $220 pw has 4 bedrooms, a Rosewood kitchen and is very separate from the main house.
This property also lends itself to become a retreat with cabins, in fact there’s already an A frame cottage to begin with, which could also be an artist’s studio. What a beautiful location to create a retreat, with the wonderous bird life, exotic plants, palms and fruit trees, it’s all there. Or a horse stud, farm-stay, tropical orchard, artists haven……
Set in the hinterland of Julatten, just 25 minutes from the world class destination of Port Douglas, and conveniently, just 15 minutes from Mossman for necessities, this property has to be seen to be believed, for it is certainly a one of a kind.
This property is to be sold well below replacement cost, the vendors reocating south to further their growing thoroughbred breeding business.
