An extraordinary opportunity awaits with this beautifully positioned 4.2-acre property in picturesque Cow Bay - offering not just one, but three superb living options, making it a rare and highly versatile offering.
This remarkable property includes:
1. A stunning timber pole home crafted with exquisite hardwoods, including turpentine poles and mixed hardwood timber flooring.
2. A stylish, fully self-contained guest apartment situated beneath the main residence.
3. A spectacular, elevated "House with a view" holiday retreat boasting breathtaking ocean and mountain vistas.
The main pole home is a true showcase of craftsmanship, where the use of polished hardwoods and neutral finishes blend seamlessly to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A solid timber staircase leads to a welcoming verandah and dual sliding door entryways. Inside, the expansive open-plan design flows through the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas - so spacious, the living area has even been reconfigured to offer an additional bedroom. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring generous bench space, gas cooking, and ample storage.
An interior timber staircase leads to the charming loft-style master bedroom, framed by exposed beams and a timber ceiling.
The bathroom continues the theme of understated luxury, with timber cladding and a full-length bath, delivering a relaxing and stylish retreat.
Outdoor living is beautifully catered for, with a covered deck perfect for lounging or entertaining, and an additional walkway deck linking the kitchen dining space to the serene outdoors.
A perfect blend of exposed polished timbers and light painted surfaces in neutral colours makes the interior of this home just lovely.
Beneath the main home, the spacious guest apartment impresses with its bright, modern design. Complete with a kitchenette, and a spacious second bathroom (separate shower, loo, and laundry areas). Newly tiled flooring throughout the apartment ensures low-maintenance living, while the new commercial-grade floor covering enhances the downstairs bathroom.
At the front there are three roller door access points, which offer abundant flexibility for guests, additional storage, or even a vehicle. The property also conveniently includes a covered carport and multiple open-air parking spaces.
A recently concreted 3.1-metre wide driveway connects the main house to the impressive house pad at the top of the property. A short walk or drive to this upper elevation reveals the spectacular 'Daintree House with a View' - an impressive, steel-framed Colorbond-clad retreat captures magnificent panoramic views. Designed for both lifestyle and income potential, this home boasts a sprawling open-plan kitchen and living area.
Upstairs, there is a luxurious mezzanine master suite that connects to a private outdoor deck with absolutely stunning ocean and mountain views! The perfect spot for morning coffees, sunset drinks, and everything in between.
New commercial-grade flooring throughout adds a touch of warmth and elegance, with two glass sliding doors capturing more of that breathtaking view.
A third door reveals a private outdoor retreat, where a refreshing monsoon shower awaits beneath a brand-new sail shade, along with a conveniently located toilet and sink housed within a compact annex-style shed.
A second, smaller lock-up shed sits beside this main steel-frame retreat and is designed for an additional power system or lock-up storage. There are also two massive 27,000-litre rainwater tanks harnessing pure Daintree rainwater.
This retreat is currently a highly successful Airbnb rental, consistently receiving outstanding guest reviews. Many visitors have described it as one of the best places they've ever stayed!
THE POWER- A standalone power system is installed with 24 volt (2volt x 12 cells). This professionally installed power system runs the entire home. (Batts are German built gel cells). 16mm cable connects the 24 volt source to the second home at the top of the property.
THE WATER - Roof collected Daintree rainwater, which is better than bottled water, is collected in two main tanks, servicing both the steel-frame retreat via a pressure pump and also gravity feeds back down to the home. This abundant water supply ensures the property has plenty of the precious cargo.
THE REST - Starlink high-speed internet is currently installed, and satellite internet is also available. TV channels are accessed via a satellite dish and box, with the option to upgrade to VAST (Viewer Access Satellite Television) - a free service providing approximately 100 channels. Both Telstra and Optus mobile phone coverage is available at the property.
Whether you're seeking an idyllic family compound, an income-generating holiday retreat, or simply a private tropical sanctuary, this Cow Bay property offers unrivalled flexibility, beauty, and value.
