587 Barbagallo Road, Aloomba QLD 4871

This glorious property has an approved house ready to rebuild plus another cleared pad for a second dwelling or large shed below. There is also another pad next to your permanent creek - full of water holes, rapids and waterfalls the higher you walk. Wildlife abounds with monitor lizards, wallabies, frill necked lizards, bandicoots, butterflies and more. There are so many beautiful walks to discover through the rainforest.

Extensive earthworks have opened up more areas to take full advantage of the views and provide the lifestyle you are dreaming of. The driveway has been upgraded and is well drained, graveled and suitable for most cars. A 20m walk up behind the house to the lookout provides even more wow factor and the perfect spot for a gazebo.

Whilst you feel like you are removed from the hustle and bustle of life you are only a 15 minute drive to Gordonvale and a 3/4 hour to Cairns (approx.)

You have septic, spring fed fresh water stored in 2 x 10,000 litre water tanks gravity fed to the dwelling, power via solar panels and battery backup (included) and WIFI available for mobile and internet (depending on your carrier) and you may wish to continue the theme to live completely off grid.

The land is divided in 2 with the main portion on the high side of the road and ridge and the smaller parcel on the opposite side of the bitumen road which has cleared areas for possible crop growing however some of it is low lying and goes under in the wet season. You can drive over the cleared areas near the road in the dry season but always be croc wise near the lagoon and River banks.

The remains of the house is steel framed with a solid cement slab, covered veranda overlooking the Mulgrave River, cane fields and mountain views, bathroom and laundry. Some walls remain however this "bush shack" is a good start. There are 2 old iron sheds next to the driveway. There is a solid steel structure near the shack which could easily be clad and roofed to provide shelter for machinery, cars and boats or enclosed into a lockable shed. The lower pad is approx. 15 x 12m flat and drained.

Rates are approx. $1,200 pa and the property is rated for house and land and has a weekly rubbish pick up.

If you are looking for a change of pace and want to land bank or build your dream home, this magical block close to Cairns will not disappoint.
