If you’re at home in a rustic timber cottage made from ‘pre loved’ timbers and galvanized iron in a romantic ‘log cabin’ setting where the natural environment has been preserved and sounds of birdsong fill the air, this cosy but spacious home will satisfy all of your requirements. Surrounded by rainforest clad mountains, gullies with creeks running through them, this acreage is ideal for further development as a B & B or simply keep it for yourself to enjoy. Great soil and an abundance of water so you could grow your own crops and become self-sufficient.
An open-plan solid home which is fully screened and has been built from local hardwoods and features the warmth of beautiful timber floors, timber poles and exposed rafters on a picturesque 5.12ha (12.6 acres) is just waiting here for you to discover behind this wall of rainforest where a seasonal creek meanders through the valley below.
Open plan living on 3 separate levels throughout and a country-sized kitchen with marble benchtops, 900cm gas/ electric stove combination, pantry and servery, office, library, dining room and lounge and there’s a fully enclosed, screened timber deck from which to survey your own private acreage.
A commanding timber staircase leads to the mezzanine floor to the bedroom space and doubles as a rumpus/storage area.
The lower deck with pool is great for cooling off on a summers day and is a great vantage point from which to relax and take in the panoramic scenery. In addition, the rustic bathroom/laundry has a claw foot bath and the fabulous views from here are stunning and you can soak away the cares of the day while listening to the sounds of the babbling brook below.
A home on acreage would not be complete without a shed and there are no disappointments here. Power connected, cement floor, 2 roller doors and 3 phase power. Water is gravity fed from the main tank behind the shed on the top level to the guest cottage which sits snugly on top of the second water storage tank. You’ll never run out of water. There is also a fourth PVC tank under the home. There is also ample bore water for the gardens.
The guest cottage’ is a separate, one room living space with patio on the side. It’s great when friends arrive so they can have their own private space.
Central to the tropical island coast of Kurrimine Beach & Mission Beach and bustling town of Innisfail. All the charm and character of the this retreat in the rainforest is unique and it would be difficult to find a more serene rural setting.
