Situated in Ravenshoe’s Bellview District amongst rolling green hills and rainforest, Gaidheal is positioned 1000 meters above sea level resulting in a milder, low humidity, sub tropical climate, that includes cool Winter months.
Cairns International Airport is a two hour drive with Tropical Coastal Beaches and Rainforest areas of Far North Queensland an hour away.
The Bellview Area sits at a unique meeting place where inland Sclerophyll Forest of tall Eucalypts meet higher altitude lush Rainforests of the Tropical Coast.
Our unique climate is a gardeners’ paradise allowing the cultivation of temperate to sub-tropical and tropical plant species.
Gaidheal consists of just under 3 acres of rolling lawns with established trees including Mangoes, Bananas, Oranges, Peaches, Kaffir Lime and Mandarins with a mixture of Rainforest species. The property is a world unto itself with no visible neighbours from the house and a uniquely constructed home built from a combination of locally sourced rainforest timbers primarily Turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera) and modern treated timber frame cyclone rated construction.
The rear of the property affords wonderful views over the local area with beautiful Savanagh sunsets.
Town Water is connected with bin collection and school bus at the property entrance.
The block is battle axed with a long rainforest clad drive that leads up to the home positioned at the top of a hill. There is no risk of flooding or bush fire for our property.
The inner core of Gaidheal is traditional timber frame infill construction. This results in an exceptionally strong building with good Eco credentials and excellent bio-mass characteristics providing an even inside temperature all year round.
Internally the timber frame construction and living area log rafters and framework give Gaidheal a unique character loved by all who visit our property.
A large country style kitchen including a 7 function gas/electric Belling English Range leads into a open living lounge area. We currently have a large Master Bedroom (King size bed and walk through robe area), one Double Bedroom (shelving and hanging space built in) and two single bedrooms (both with shelving and one with hanging space) located on the ground floor, one of which is set up as an office (airconditioned). Two very large Dormer style bedrooms take up the top floor via a handmade set of stairs. The upstairs area would ideally lend itself to a B And B as it could be made independent to the rest of the house.
Our home has a certified complete new electrical wiring system with a safety cut-off circuit board. It has been wired for direct generator connection in case of power outages.
All lighting in our home is LED/Flouro low energy. The master bedroom has a split system inverter airconditioner with ceiling fan while the living area has a reversible feature ceiling fan.
The Bathroom consists of a large shower with rain shower head, separate toilet with hot water supplied by an instantaneous high efficiency gas system.
An external Laundry to the side of the house has hot water connected and a 2nd WC.
The full width of the rear is cemented and makes a beautiful outdoor sitting area. The main front verandah area consists of local log construction with thriving feature “Cyathea cooperi” Tree Ferns and Grape Vines.
A feature stringy bark bar area or servery complements the verandah area.
A greater part of the property is fenced with a dedicated enclosed dog yard beside the house.
For Winter a Canadian Osburn Woodheater keeps our home cosy on cooler nights and in Summer its unique construction keeps the internal part of the house cool.
A three bay shed with electrical connection covers car accommodation and workshop area.
A large chook pen and enclosed vegetable garden with beautiful red mountain soil provide eggs and vegetables all year round.
Places of interest nearby include the Misty Mountains walking trails, Innot Hot Springs thermal baths, Koomboolooba Recreational Lake (Fishing, Boating and Camping), Mount Surprise (fossicking), Undarra Lava Tubes and many other Savanagh Way destinations are in the region. The Atherton/Evelyn Tablelands are at your doorstep.
The Township of Ravenshoe provides an IGA, Cornetts Grocery, Library, Two Country Pubs, NAB and Bendigo Banks, two Cafes, a Country Bakery, Schools, Churches and a Home Hardware Store.
Gaidheal is a lifestyle property that provides a wonderfully unique standard of living.
It is a world of perpetual greens, changing colours of plants and trees with spectacular skies and sunsets.
This is a property that leaves a feeling of peace and comfort to those who live or visit its unique place in the world.
Gaidheal has been a labour of love in its creation and now with its third owners has reached a time to be cherished and enjoyed.
