What's around Cape Tribulation Road

House description

“A Rare Rainforest Retreat with Income Potential in the Heart of Daintree...”

Nestled in the heart of the world’s oldest rainforest, this exceptional 21.89-acre property offers more than just a place to live — it offers a lifestyle, a business, and a connection to nature that few properties in Australia can match.

Located just two hours from an international airport, and only 20 minutes north of the Daintree Ferry and 20 minutes south of Cape Tribulation, this tropical sanctuary combines seclusion, convenience, and sustainability in one remarkable package.
At the centre of the property lies a huge timber family home — an impressive ~450m² residence with five bedrooms, polished wooden floors, and expansive verandahs that wrap around the home. It’s a space designed for open, breezy living that flows effortlessly from the indoors to the outdoors. Wildlife wanders freely, including regular cassowary sightings, while lush tropical gardens and huge variety of fruit trees create a vibrant, living landscape that guests and residents alike adore.
But this isn’t just a residence — it’s a fully functioning accommodation business with enormous potential.

The business includes:
• A homestead-style guest building (~250m²) with wraparound verandas
• 3 fully self-contained apartments (2 x studio, 1 x one-bedroom) fully furnished and in operation
• A separate laundry facility with washers and commercial gas drier
• Multiple parking options: 2 undercover, 3 at the lodge, 3 at the main car park

Adding significant value is the existing Development Approval (DA TP664) for 16 accommodation units across 4 buildings (4 cabins each). With only one cabin built and operational to date, the DA remains valid, giving you the green light to expand. (The buyer may need to confirm this with Douglas Shire Council if wanting to expand). The family home also could also easily convert 4 existing bedrooms into extra letting rooms plus there is a concrete pad ready for a new shed or similar.

The infrastructure is solid and future-ready. A separate power facility houses a state-of-the-art off-grid system, including solar panels, huge 33kW lithium batteries power band, a modern inverter and regulator, hydro turbine, and generator backup. This system delivers full energy independence with LPG hot water systems and stoves, matched by pristine, drinkable water sourced on-site from two creeks.

Connectivity is taken care of too, with high speed Starlink internet and Wi-Fi access available across the property — essential for both remote living and guest amenities.

This is a lifestyle property like no other — off-grid, surrounded by national park, yet close to local conveniences including a primary school, high school access, shops, restaurants, and cafes, all within a 5-minute drive to the beach.
With older vendors ready to move on, this is a genuine opportunity to take over a unique eco-retreat, expand its commercial potential, or simply live immersed in one of the most breathtaking natural environments on Earth.

Let’s Talk Value: Industry research shows that building costs in Brisbane today range from $2,800 to $4,950 per square metre. That means constructing a home of this size—700 sqm under roof—starts at $1.9M on the lower end. • And that’s just for the house and apartments! • A 300 sqm block of land in Brisbane’s outer suburbs will set you back at least $200,000. Here, for less than the cost of the house alone, you get a sprawling homestead plus 21 acres of picturesque land and an income producing accommodation business. That’s a huge saving! - an absolutely stunning opportunity that won’t come around again.
