A Rare Rainforest Retreat with Income Potential in the Heart of Daintree...

Nestled in the heart of the world’s oldest rainforest, this exceptional 21.89-acre property offers more than just a place to live — it offers a lifestyle, a business, and a connection to nature that few properties in Australia can match.
Located just two hours from an international airport, and only 20 minutes north of the Daintree Ferry and 20 minutes south of Cape Tribulation, this tropical sanctuary combines seclusion, convenience, and sustainability in one remarkable package.
At the centre of the property lies a huge timber family home — an impressive ~450m² residence with five bedrooms, polished wooden floors, and expansive verandahs that wrap around the home. It’s a space designed for open, breezy living that flows effortlessly from the indoors to the outdoors. Wildlife wanders freely, including regular cassowary sightings, while lush tropical gardens and huge variety of fruit trees create a vibrant, living landscape that guests and residents alike adore.
But this isn’t just a residence — it’s a fully functioning accommodation business with enormous potential.
The business includes:
• A homestead-style guest building (~250m²) with wraparound verandas
• 3 fully self-contained apartments (2 x studio, 1 x one-bedroom) fully furnished and in operation
• A separate laundry facility with washers and commercial gas drier
• Multiple parking options: 2 undercover, 3 at the lodge, 3 at the main car park
Adding significant value is the existing Development Approval (DA TP664) for 16 accommodation units across 4 buildings (4 cabins each). With only one cabin built and operational to date, the DA remains valid, giving you the green light to expand. (The buyer may need to confirm this with Douglas Shire Council if wanting to expand). The family home also could also easily convert 4 existing bedrooms into extra letting rooms plus there is a concrete pad ready for a new shed or similar.
