This beautiful 4-bedroom home is located just over 1km from Lake Eacham, a popular tourist destination and local swimming hole. Set on 2.5acres, this property has both forest and open grassed areas. There is an abundance of wildlife with over 180 bird species, echidna, pademelons, green possums and butterflies that are all native to this amazing environment. All this is centrally located 10 min to Malanda or Yungaburra Village for schools and all your shopping needs, or 20 min to Atherton and 1 hr to Cairns.
The well-designed kitchen with its silky oak cabinetry is semi open plan to the main dining, lounge and living space, but separated by cabinets and an attachable, convenient breakfast table. There is a large amount of kitchen storage available, a high-set fitted oven plus grill, and a built-in microwave. The electric cook top has a stainless steel splashback and range hood, and a stainless-steel sink with large picture window looking out to the garden. To the side of the kitchen is the separate laundry with external access, built-in clothes dryer, sink and plenty of room for white goods. The kitchen flows into the large open plan dining room that can seat 8 people comfortably and makes up one part of the main living area. With tulip oak exposed beams and high cathedral ceilings, the spacious lounge has enough room for a family to sit near the fire in the colder months. There is also an additional useful space near the tulip oak stairs, presently used as a music area.
There are double sliding doors from the dining/living rooms out onto the large covered verandah area for the ideal indoor/outdoor living. This verandah flows into an even larger outdoor entertainment area with an outdoor kitchen and space for a bar fridge, to complement the built-in barbeque. Windows on two sides can protect you from the weather or be opened to allow a fantastic flow of air, all overlooking the rainforest that surrounds this magnificent home. Upstairs the master suite has an abundance of features, including a large walk-in robe, ensuite with shower and vanity, and access to the separate toilet. There is also a neat office nook and a private balcony with views of the forest. The other two large upstairs bedrooms have built-in robes. The family bathroom has a combined bath/shower with glass shower screen and silky oak vanity unit, and a large window making the bathroom very bright. The fourth or guest bedroom is located downstairs and opens out to the back verandah. It also has an ensuite which is well placed for day to day household use.
The easy care gardens close to the house, have a timed irrigation system. There are spacious lawns surrounding the house but for absolute privacy the entire property has a perimeter of forest. A double carport is attached to the house. A short distance away is a 10.5m L x 4.6m W x 3.4m H lockable, drive-through caravan/boat shed, with electricity and water connected.

The bore supplies beautiful tasting water and is supplemented by two rainwater tanks. With school bus pickup, mail and rubbish collection available, this is a magical location and a must-see property. Every room has a view. In short, it is a beautiful, private location tucked away in the forest with a lot to offer.
