* New to the market is this gorgeous Chris Van Dyke built, timber home. The highset home is attractive and inviting, private and spacious.
*Set on 2.5 acres the home offers front access via a gentle sloping ramp and rear access via timber stairs.
*This attractive and functional home is constructed from cypress pine and treated pine timbers. Designed for the tropics the home invites cooling rainforest breezes whilst a wide overhang on the pitch roof keeps the dryness in during heavy downpours.
*Multiple large pulley controlled windows open wide and far to allow the natural rainforest breezes in and screening on all windows keeps the insects out.
*The main living area is open plan and comprises lounge, kitchen and indoor dining. Beautiful timber finishes catch the eye in any direction. The space also boasts an impressive atrium roof design, which along with the window design, helps cool the interior.
*The kitchen looks out over the grounds and to the stunning mature tropical rainforest backdrop. Kitchen features gas stove/oven and local timber benchtops.
*The bathroom continues the timber theme and features shower and toilet. Again the pulley window system allows the refreshing breezes in.
*The living area opens out onto the covered rear timber verandah. Enough space to have a second outdoor dining area overlooking the attractive grounds. Room here also for the BBQ
*The verandah leads onto a raised timber walkway which leads to the separate and very inviting bedroom. The bedroom is again constructed from cypress pine (termite resistant) and boasts its own atrium. The view from the bedroom will have you wanting many a ‘sleep in’ to enjoy its beauty.
*Underneath the house there is a large dry space to *do with what you choose. Multiple uses possible here, including storage or further outdoor sitting areas.
*The grounds of the home are gentle sloping lawns interspersed with gardens and surrounded by a superb natural border of tropical rainforest.
*WATER source comes straight from nature and Daintree rainwater is worth bottling! It is collected on the roof of the home and stored in a 11000 litre tank. (Tank only 3 years old). A near new Grundfos pump reliably supplies the house with good water pressure.

The System consists of 6 Solar Panels charging a 24volt battery system. A backup Yanmar Diesel Generator kicks in when the system needs a boost providing regular, reliable and renewable power. Power system has been maintained to a high level.
