54-56 Chatham Terrace, Smithfield QLD 4878

This property is unlike anything you've seen before! The location is truly one-of-a-kind perched like an eagle's nest in one of the highest vantage points in Smithfield Heights if not Cairns; approximately 200 metres above sea level with simply "jaw-dropping" ocean views! With bushland reserve on 3 sides and only 1 neighbour located below the property, this superb property boasts sheer seclusion and privacy, nestled on 3 hillside acres (1.32ha).

This gorgeous, tranquil and secluded setting is like your own "Botanic Gardens" with award-winning gardens including the 2007 Winner of Cairns Council Gardens Award, and the 1st Place Winner of Native Garden in 2008 and 2009. Perfect for the "green thumb", there's hundreds of different varieties of plants and flowers lovingly planted over the past 19 years by the owners. Cascading walkways meander through the property to a "Secret Garden" with areas to sit and admire the surroundings or hold a picnic with close friends and family and relax and enjoy the views and tranquility.

Designed for the tropics by Tony Driscoll, this splendid 2-level 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home certainly feels like you're on holidays every day! Soaring high raked ceilings and extensive use of glass and louvres blend together to provide fresh cooling sea breezes coupled with panoramic ocean and mountain views from every angle. Slate tiled floors inside and granite floors outside along with generous outdoor verandahs and a plunge-style swimming pool add to the tropical style!
