The picturesque Mowbray Valley is a highly sought after and attractive location for Port Douglas locals because it offers magnificent, elevated views of the coast, just a 10 minute drive from town and less than an hour to Cairns International airport. Escape to a calmer lifestyle, surrounded by tropical bushland, where it is private and quiet. Families love it, there are horse agistments, swimming holes, waterfalls, it's an enviable lifestyle.
Cleverly designed for the tropical climate, this contemporary home on 3.45ha sits high on the edge of the range, up a lengthy driveway for ultimate privacy. Offering easy living, large glass sliding doors to take in the view to the east, down-lighting, high ceilings, bamboo flooring and the broad wrap-around spotted-gum verandah deck creating additional living space. The coast is closer than the photos portray, in fact you can clearly see out to Low Isles, Port Douglas, even patches of the reef!
A large, very workable kitchen, clearly planned by a savvy chef, with a 1.2m 6 burner gas cooktop and hotplate, rangehood, stainless steel benchtop, enormous butler's pantry and cupboards galore! It is open-plan, with the main living room and dining room also in this space, all with a wall of glass sliding doors offering a fantastic view of the coast.
The master suite is more than generous in size, it too has access to the decking area, for views, a walk-in robe and an ensuite.
In what could be described as a separate pavilion, there's another living room space, two further bedrooms with co-joining bathroom and laundry. With internal access downstairs, there's an additional self-contained one bedroom apartment, with kitchen, ensuite and laundry, suitable for extended family, teenagers, or as an income provider if let out.
The 10x5m salt-water, wet-edged pool takes in the view of the coast and the mountains to the north-west, with a broad decking on three sides and of course, night lighting. The home is surrounded by low-maintenance, fully irrigated tropical landscaping, with paths and stairs to enjoy.
At the entrance to the property is a large, powered, insulated, airconditioned, fully lockable shed. There's an abundance of flat accessible space here too, ideal for parking a large boat, camper, horse-float, or whatever your lifestyle requires.
