The Ultimate "Sea-Change" Success Story
In 2006, Chimanimani’s original owners traded their London careers in investment banking and corporate consultancy for a 1.7-hectare block overlooking the Coral Sea. Two decades later, the property stands as a testament to that life-changing gamble. This isn’t just a house, it’s a physical embodiment of a life philosophy that balances professional ambition with mindful living and environmental stewardship.
Architecturally Designed for Perspective
This solid-block, two-storey residence was masterfully crafted to frame the world’s most extraordinary ecosystem as its backyard.
– The Master Sanctuary: Perched to capture sweeping vistas, the master suite features a generous walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite complete with a full-length bath and separate shower.
– The Professional Hub: Long before remote work was mainstream, the owners established a thriving consultancy from the large purpose-built home office.
– Space for Everything: Three spacious bedrooms and family bathroom are complemented by a separate media room, offering dedicated zones for both quiet introspection and impressive entertaining.
– Chef’s Layout & Utility: The expansive kitchen and living areas feature a large pantry, separate laundry, and an internal two-car garage with a dedicated tool room and large storeroom.
An Ecosystem in Your Backyard
Set on approximately 4.2 acres of pristine World Heritage-listed adjacent rainforest, the property is a nature-lover’s paradise.
– Wildlife Haven: The grounds are frequented by the locally iconic Cassowary, nesting Ospreys, and migratory Torres Strait Pigeons.
– Sustainable Luxury: The home integrates seamlessly with its surroundings, featuring solar power and eco-friendly design elements to ensure a lighter environmental footprint.
– Outdoor Living: A large timber deck extends toward a sparkling pool, creating a seamless connection between indoor luxury and the natural splendour of the Coral Sea backdrop.
