Majestically positioned high above the Barron River on grounds of almost 1.5 acres, this high-set residence is built to perfection of a way of life that combines the building and nature harmoniously.
A rare opportunity is presented here to purchase a refuge to immerse oneself in an atmosphere characterised by calm and equilibrium, incorporating commanding views of a pristine, awe-inspiring river landscape.
The home is predominantly built from precious tropical timbers. A slow combustion fireplace provides a cosy atmosphere.
The lower level of this well crafted home comprises of a grand open-plan living area, master bedroom, bathroom and a grand timber deck with 180 degrees views of the river. An internal staircase leads to two more bedrooms of which one features a private timber deck with river-view.
Solar energy and rainwater tanks with a capacity of 50,000 provide a comfortable level of self-efficiency. Quadruple carports round off the features of this fully fenced property of 5,817m2.
Kuranda has long been prominent in individual circles, both for its tropical but moderate climate at an altitude of some 380 metres above sea level and also for a quality life-style, which is in sharp contrast to the densely populated urban areas around Cairns and the Coast.
With schools, shopping centre, medical centre and a variety of restaurants, Kuranda, the village in the rainforest, provides a healthy infrastructure that meets all desires.
Smithfield at Cairns’ Northern Beaches, the James Cook University, the International Airport and Cairns can be reached within a 25-35 minutes drive.
