Stunning Rainforest Valley Views

Talara is a rare slice of paradise in the heart of the Whitsundays, located in a secluded valley and surrounded by your very own private lush tropical rainforest.

This home has been designed with sustainability and resilience in mind. The high thermal mass provided by steel reinforced solid block construction, insulated ceilings and deep verandas keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter, minimising energy costs. The property is predominantly self-sufficient, with 74,000L of rainwater storage from 600m2 of catchment area, a 5kW solar system, solar hot water, and septic system. All that's needed is a house battery to go completely off grid.

The extensive gardens surrounding the house have both tropical and native themed sections, as well as a kitchen garden with herbs and some vegetables. The orchard contains over 20 species of fruit trees and there is plenty of space to build your dream vegetable garden. A bore provides water for the gardens and the 10 acres of paddock fenced and ready for livestock.
