Perched high on a hill, hidden behind trees overlooking Nelly Bay, is Nahmahlu – named after a sacred watering hole in the Kimberleys. Spread over four and a half levels, this is the ultimate holiday house or entertainer’s home.
Stepping off the ferry (just 20 mins from Townsville), it is just a very short walk to the home, which climbs up the hill allowing you to access the Gabul walkway and from there it s a short stroll downhill to Arcadia’s beautiful beaches of Geoffrey Bay and Alma Bay.
Currently a very popular holiday home, this property is offered on a walk-in/walk-out basis, fully furnished and ready to move into or continue holiday letting.
Enter the main level through a heavy wooden door to an expansive living area filled with historic timber beams, an abundance of natural light and a striking granite boulder formation which reminds you of the natural beauty surrounding this home.
This area has a semi-commercial kitchen, lounge, fireplace and entertaining area along with an internal dining area. Bifold doors lead you to the balcony that wraps around the South side of the property. Here lies another dining area and an outdoor lounge setting where you can relax on a day bed with a good book listening to the sounds of birdsong in the surrounding trees.
Downstairs from the main living area is a bunk room, laundry and bathroom and access to the tranquil decked pool area, complete with a large gazebo for entertaining, bbq area and outdoor shower.
Once you’ve had a refreshing dip in the pool, head back inside and enjoy a game of pool or table tennis in the games room which has a well-placed window seat to take in the natural surroundings where you can watch the friendly native wallabies appear in the afternoon.
The accommodation quarters of the home continue on the theme of space, character and relaxation. The top floor of Nahmahlu is given over entirely to the master suite with 13 foot high ceilings, private terrace, kitchenette and a stunning African-themed bathroom with double spa.
As you head down to the next level, you will catch glimpses of the Coral Sea, silhouetted by the striking shape of the pine trees waving gently in the cool sea breeze.
Here you will find two very spacious bedrooms with stylish ensuites featuring rainhead showers.
Heading downstairs again, are two further queen-sized bedrooms with mezzanine queen bunks – the kids absolutely love these so these rooms are great for a family when large groups are staying together at the house. A super-stylish bathroom is just across the hall and features a double shower.
One thing is for sure, at Nahmahlu you won’t be left wanting for anything – other than not to have to ever leave!
The property is set on 1146m2 with dual access from Boulder Court and from Arcadia Road, with parking available at both.
