Welcome to your own lush, tropical retreat, a rare five-acre sanctuary where self-sufficiency meets comfort and tranquility. Nestled in the heart of nature yet only minutes from town, this extraordinary property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live amongst established botanical gardens, thriving food forests, and serene wildlife.

The moment you arrive, you'll be struck by the peace and privacy this unique property offers. Wander through landscaped grounds where citrus trees, avocados, mulberries, and macadamias flourish alongside tropical and native food plants. With an abundance of vegetables and herbs growing throughout, the lifestyle here is not only beautiful, it's sustainable.

Bird lovers will be in paradise, with more than 130 species regularly visiting. The low-maintenance design of the gardens means there's more time to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle, whether it's a game of croquet by the creek, a quiet moment by the water, or simply soaking in the beauty of your surroundings.

Scrubby Creek forms the rear boundary, offering both a practical water source and a tranquil escape. Sit beneath the trees and enjoy the natural soundtrack of the running stream, birdsong, and rustling leaves, an experience that rivals any nature documentary.

Step inside the home and you'll find space, character, and comfort in every room. The expansive patio, complete with a custom 16-seat dining table, is perfect for entertaining, supported by a well-placed bathroom and seamless kitchen access. The sunken lounge, formal dining area, and wood-burning fireplace offer the perfect spot to gather with friends and family on cooler nights.

The gourmet kitchen features a large island bench, walk-in pantry, and quality appliances, making it a chef's delight. Upstairs, you'll discover a light-filled games area, private office, library, and a charming guest retreat with ensuite ideal for visiting guests.

All ground floor bedrooms enjoy garden views and built-in storage, while the master suite is a private oasis with a spa ensuite, dual walk-in robes, and direct access to a secluded patio and the stunning in-ground pool.

While it feels a world away, the property is just 8 minutes from Atherton and 80 minutes from Cairns International Airport. With town water supply, weekly refuse collection and a school bus stop at the front gate, it offers modern convenience with country charm.

Whether you're seeking a forever home, an eco-conscious weekend retreat, or a venue for intimate events, this one-of-a-kind estate is your canvas for a more connected, grounded lifestyle.
