LIVE YOUR RURAL DREAM A rare offering, where privacy, beauty, and long-term sustainability meet at the threshold of Far North Queensland's most extraordinary landscapes. Lovingly established by one family, this remarkable 8.75-acre parkland sanctuary feels less like a property and more like a private estate. Mature trees, landscaped gardens, birdsong and inviting creek bank for lazy afternoon barbeques, create a sense of calm that is increasingly hard to find-and almost impossible to recreate. The land unfolds gently around the home, offering space, shade, and a deep sense of permanence. Behind secure gates you will find a solid, architect-designed home nestled in a setting that is both serene and low-maintenance. PebbleCrete render applied to the masonry walls was carefully considered by the architect to provide a subtle envelope that sits well within the native tree environs . Inside, high ceilings and generous proportions create a relaxed, light-filled elegance. The home offers four spacious bedrooms, including a private master retreat with walk-in robe and ensuite, as well as a separate study-ideal for working remotely, or creative pursuits. Cork floors add warmth and practicality, while ceiling fans throughout ensure comfort year-round. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly, creating an inspired setting for everyday living and relaxed entertaining." Step outside to the sparkling pool set amidst landscaped rock gardens, with a stunning sunset view across grassland to the mountains beyond. The property is fully irrigated, supported by riparian rights to Cobra Creek, delivering a rare and increasingly valuable advantage: no water bills. A 22,700-litre creek-fed tank services the property, complemented by a 7,500-litre filtered rainwater tank for drinking. An electric pump on a timer powers the irrigation system across the paddocks, gardens, and taps along the fence lines. With 14 solar panels, established fruit trees, fenced paddock and large shed, this property offers beauty, sustainability, and room to live your rural dream. Whether downsizing from a large agricultural holding, relocating from the southern states, or embracing a sustainable tree-change lifestyle, this property represents extraordinary value for scale, quality, and position. LOCATION Positioned in the Cairns hinterland, just 7 minutes from the town of Mareeba, the location offers an exceptional balance of seclusion and connectivity. Cairns International Airport and access to the Great Barrier Reef are 50 minutes away, while Lake Eachum and rolling green hills of the Atherton Tablelands are on your doorstep. The ancient, exotic Daintree Rainforest lies 1.5 hours north, placing rainforest, reef, beaches, waterfalls and the outback all within easy reach.
