The World Famous Daintree Rainforest in Far North Queensland is home to this exceptional property located at Cape Tribulation, right where the rainforest meets the reef.
Cape Tribulation is located only 90 minutes drive from Port Douglas, and two hours drive from Cairns International Airport.
This property is one of the largest in the subdivision at Cape Tribulation, at just under 6 hectares and has been operating as bed and breakfast accommodation for the last 14 years.
The owners are ready to retire and wish to sell Lot 5, whilst retaining the Lot 4 orchard.
There is a main residence, a separate guest wing, a large open air gazebo and two cottages purpose built for guest accommodation.
The buildings have been designed to take the local climate into account, with louvred windows, and wide verandahs for outdoor living.
The main residence is modern, spacious and open plan in design with high cathedral ceilings, floor to ceilingwindows and features a large stone fireplace. It consists of one bedroom, one bathroom and largeundercover verandah areas. The separate guest wing has one bedroom, one bathroom, one storeroom and a large undercover verandah.
The two cottages are free-standing tree-houses with ensuites, designed to enjoy a private outlook within the forest environment - both have rainforest views from the balconies and windows.
The gazebo has a number of possibilities and could be used as a home business, with separate entrance; an artist studio; a massage studio; a games room; or another bedroom.
The buildings have been maintained to a high standard with regular termite inspections - full records are available.
The property runs on solar power, with a back-up generator, and the property has a bore. A whopping 2.5 kva in solar panels, 1200 AH battery, 2000 VA inverter, and a 6.5KVA petrol generator. The bore pump is an electrical submersible pump.
The rainforest part of the property covers 3.5 hectares, and is included within the boundaries of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, There is less than 1% of private freehold land actually included within the World Heritage Area, so this property is quite rare.
This rainforest has never been cleared, and there is a Co-operative Management Agreement in place with the Wet Tropics Management Authority, on how the rainforest can be used. There is one kilometre of private walking trail to explore the forest and notes have been developed for a self guided walk.
There are also three seasonal creeks on the property, and a number of small swimming holes.
Over the last 25 years the cleared area around the house has been landscaped with exotic tropical fruit treeswhich come from the equatorial regions of the world. The majority of these trees are mature fruiting trees, creating a veritable Garden of Eden, in a tropical paradise.
