Welcome to this exceptional 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom property set on almost 2.8 acres, offering a rare blend of residential comfort and commercial potential.
Positioned at the entrance to Cooktown, the property enjoys excellent commercial visibility with two street frontages, while the main buildings are set privately behind established tropical gardens, creating a peaceful and secluded atmosphere.
The main building is accessed through a beautiful walled courtyard draped in tropical vines and palms, leading into a spacious interior that features four well-appointed guest accommodation rooms, each with its own ensuite, garden views, and direct access to the patio.

At the heart of the property is a large central dining room with bar, accompanied by a fully equipped commercial kitchen, storeroom and office, previously used to operate the well-known restaurant and accommodation business Shadows of Mount Cook.
A timber walkway leads from the dining area into the gardens where youll find a sparkling inground pool with waterfall and gazebo, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. The established gardens form a tranquil retreat filled with orchids, flowering vines, towering trees, ferns and fruit trees, with winding paths through a variety of lush landscapes.
Additional improvements include caretakers accommodation and a charming timber building currently used as a small store.
