Time to sell - the owners' bags are packed as they are moving overseas! This spectacular property will open your mind to a world of possibilities - live completely off-grid in a contemporary, architecturally designed home on a private, 20-acre property with year-round fresh water creek. Add to this an established, certified organic cacao plantation with a variety of established native & other tropical fruits. Nestled at the base of the majestic Dagmar mountain range in the Whyanbeel Valley, less than 45 minutes from Port Douglas, this home enjoys access to a natural freshwater creek which runs through the property & shares a boundary with the Daintree National Park. Views of Devil's Thumb, an iconic mountain landmark seen for miles throughout the area, surrounding rainforest around the property, provide a stunning backdrop & vistas in all directions. The stylish dwelling is a bespoke reflection of the owners' vision to maximise light, air flow & all things unique to life in the tropics while living completely off-grid. Self-sufficiency with modern comforts & style, plus an income producing orchard - what more could you want? This property is one-of-a-kind & should not be missed. There is huge potential here to increase farming yield - or not - plus there is ample room to build or extend further onto the house itself - or not! Adjacent to the Daintree National Forest, nature-lovers can delight in the abundance of native bird & wildlife, bush walking, or just relax in this tranquil setting.
