Escape to the natural beauty of the tropics and embrace the opportunity to breathe new life into this substantial lifestyle property. Opportunity abounds for someone with vision and experience in building or renovating.

Set on 2.48 hectares (approximately 6 acres) and tucked away at the end of a long driveway, this is a property for the buyer who can see beyond its current condition and recognise the potential beneath.

Once a real showpiece, the home is now in need of significant TLC, repair and attention. For the right buyer, however, the bones, location, potential and spectacular outlook could provide the foundations for something truly special.

This classic elevated pole home captures stunning views across the tropical landscape towards the Daintree River and Coral Sea. The oversized verandah provides the perfect vantage point to take it all in.

Inside, the home is built around an expansive open-plan living area, featuring extra-high timber-lined ceilings, exposed internal poles and timber flooring. Large windows and sliding doors connect the living space to the verandah, creating a wonderful sense of indoor-outdoor living.

Three of the four generously proportion bedrooms emanate off this space, as does the main bathroom. All bedrooms feature timber floors, ceiling fans, built-in robes and nice natural light from the windows that frame the enviable views.

Timber also features in the large, thoughtfully designed kitchen with its timber benchtops, walk-in pantry and ample storage options.

Upstairs, a sizeable mezzanine space prefaces the master bedroom that comes complete with a shower ensuite. The mezzanine provides the flexibility for a second lounge, study or parents’ retreat.

Outside, there’s plenty of room to make the property your own. Established fruit trees remain amongst the overgrown gardens, with remnants of a former veggie garden waiting for some attention. A sprawling open area behind the home offers an ideal location for a future shed to complement the shed that is already in place.

There are also remnants of a swimming pool, offering the choice to retain and repair or remove altogether.

While the property is currently not connected to power, as there is no generator set-up, solar panels have been installed and appear to be in fair condition.

This is not a move-in-ready property and will require work, imagination and investment. But opportunities of this kind – with acreage, privacy, established infrastructure and those incredible views – are increasingly hard to find.

Inspection is essential as it is being offered for sale ‘as is’. Come prepared to look beyond the current presentation and discover the potential.
