Escape to Peace, Privacy and Spectacular Views at Bellenden Ker...
Some homes simply have a feeling about them, and this is one of those special places.
Tucked away in the peaceful community of Bellenden Ker, where the mornings begin with birds singing and the evenings are filled with nothing but the sounds of nature, this is the kind of home that quietly steals your heart.
The current owner says they love everything about living here. The peace and quiet. The privacy. The drive home each day is relaxing. Having no close neighbours. Sitting on the patio with a coffee in hand, soaking up the ever-changing views across the cane fields to the hills of Yarrabah, while Bellenden Ker – Queensland's highest mountain – stands proudly in the distance. It's a view that never grows old, especially as the colours dance across the hills with every passing rain shower and burst of sunshine.
Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the light-filled, open-plan design that brings everyone together. Whether you're preparing dinner, helping with homework or entertaining family and friends, nobody misses out on the conversation. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an abundance of cupboards, loads of drawers, a generous pantry and a fabulous servery window that opens wide onto the outdoor entertaining area, making weekend barbecues and lazy Sunday lunches an absolute pleasure. Yours could be the next amazing Christmas gathering...
Offering four generous air-conditioned bedrooms, each fitted with white louvre plantation shutters to capture the cooling breezes, this home has been designed for comfortable tropical living. Neutral tones throughout create a timeless style, while the tiled floors make everyday living both practical and easy. The bathroom is spacious, with a separate toilet, while an additional storage room offers potential to create a second bathroom if you choose.
Set on a generous 1,988m² block, there's still plenty of room to build the big shed you've always wanted, park the boat or caravan, or simply enjoy the open space. The gardens are wonderfully easy to maintain, leaving your weekends free to do the things you love, while the cubby house is sure to become a favourite hideaway for little adventurers.
Then there's the outdoor shower... one of those little luxuries you'll wonder how you ever lived without. Wash off after a day on the water or cool down on a warm tropical afternoon while taking in the rural outlook—and at night, enjoy showering beneath a sky filled with stars.
Life here is all about enjoying the great outdoors. Harvey Creek's crystal-clear swimming holes are just minutes away, with shallow water perfect for children to splash and play. Launch the boat at the nearby Russell River boat ramp and you'll be heading to the reef before you know it for fishing, island hopping and unforgettable weekends on the water.
When you do need to head into town, you're perfectly positioned. Pick up fresh bread and delicious cream buns from the famous Babinda Bakery, browse the town's quirky cafés and local shops, then enjoy the scenic drive home. Cairns is only around 40 minutes away, close enough for convenience yet far enough away to leave the hustle and bustle behind. Gordonvale is approximately 25km away and now with a new Woolworths, KFC and Maccas and a variety of other shops in the old town, it is convenient for shopping.
If you've been searching for a home that offers more than just four walls—a place where life feels a little slower, mornings are a little quieter and every day ends with a view—then this beautiful Bellenden Ker property may just be the one you've been waiting for.
