This attractive Queenslander on a large double block in North Cairns has been lovingly maintained to preserve the natural timber. The spacious main bedroom at the front of the house is connected by French doors to the front and side verandahs. It has a large builtin wardrobe, split system airconditioning and a large ceiling fan which ensures the aircon is seldom used. The second bedroom is off the lounge room with french doors to the verandah. The lounge and dining room are joined over their full width which highlights polished timber floor. The kitchen is connected to the dining room with an ornamental arched opening and doors to the side verandah and back deck. The bathroom and toilet are at the rear of the verandah. The high ceilings all with ceiling fans and casement and louvre windows are designed for tropical living before airconditioning was widely available and are still very functional compared to modern buildings.

The addition of a large 6m x 5m open timber deck at the rear of the house catches the morning sun and is great for entertaining or just relaxing.

The house sits on concrete pillars and is fully concreted underneath with exterior ornamental open concrete block walls provide space for the laundry and toilet, a central office with connection for the nbn fibre and security server. The rest of the space is taken up by a car park, fish tanks and storage for foam boxes for sending fish away. The airport with good connections to Brisbane Sydney and Melbourne is only 5 minutes by car.

The fish breeding and wholesaling of fish food business is more than a hobby with a turnover of $30-$40k p.a. This has been ongoing for 25 years and provides good support to the age pension while not being reliant on fixed hours or opening to the public. The tanks and stands were renewed in 2012 and are due to be refurbished.
Apart from the tanks underneath the house there is an awning on the north side with a transparent roof allowing light but not rain to preserve the alkaline water for the four ponds used for breeding the rift lake cichlids. There are additional old tanks for other freshwater species to the side.
The large backyard has fruit trees, a vege garden, a further four ponds and fish tanks. Under the back deck is a rainwater tank, a 8m3 walk-in 3 phase freezer and storage area. There is a 5 Kw solar system on the roof, a water bore and sprinkler system for watering the garden and ponds.
