Tropical life style acreage in the Cairns hinterland situated in a quiet established area amid quality houses. Comprising a little more than five acres of rainforest with some cleared land offering a selection of building sites with their own unique ambience.

This is not your average run of the mill acreage property. Close to amenities with all services but secluded from neighbours. Compromising some sloping land, some flat land, and much potential. On the edge of the tablelands close to Cairns it is tropical living at its best being a pleasant drive to the coast but several degrees cooler than the coast.

It would be a great family home site. It would make an ideal family group site parents children and grandparents all living close to each other but separate from each other.

It is ideally suited to an environmentally compliant house. It is a perfect site for a tree changer. There is a big dam to fish from, swim in, and boat on. The potential for self sufficiency is supported by plentiful free onsite water from a permanent creek independent of the dam, as well as the dam that never dries up, using an existing irrigation system with its own pump. There is an orchard producing many varieties of tropical fruit. A gardener or environmentalist has the potential to improve the value by continuing the planting already started by the current owner. A real enthusiast could create an extraordinary tropical haven.

The best house site is on cleared land with some slope. This lends itself to quality house of ideal tropical building style that generates a cooling air flow. Light construction on steel or concrete stumps. This site comes with the added bonus of tranquil water views from every room and a rainforest backdrop.

Another alternative is a smaller cabin type construction nestled in the rainforest with a background of bird calls.

A past owner has grown boutique vegetables commercially, and run a small nursery growing tropical plants for the Cairns market on this property.

This land would appeal to a lateral thinking artist, photographer, environmentalist, an enthusiastic gardener. It does not lend its self to large areas of lawn but to revegetation with the resulting reward of low maintenance and ambience. It has town water, power, mobile and internet coverage, rubbish collection and mail delivery. It comes with existing storage. Contour plans, soil tests, and other relevant documentation can be available. Close to public transport, schools, a supermarket, a doctor and pub, it is rural but not isolated, cooler than Cairns but a pleasant 30K drive away. A place to be undisturbed and in harmony with the abundance of birds and Australia wild life. Some initial cleanup work is needed but the asking price is favourably reduced to reflect this.
