Another 5,000 Litre rainwater tank is near the 2 buildings.Mobile phone reception is good & School buses for Cooktown drive by the front gate.

The vast surrounding area to this land is an adventurer's playground & a favourite holiday destination! It is a short drive North to the Lakefield National Park & on to Cape Melville National Park. Both are renowned for their wildlife & the Barramundi fishing. This property has been turned into a very convenient, but truly impressive private escape.The fabulous sunsets over the surrounding mountain ranges, along with the birds & the butterflies & the amazing Far North Queensland 'nature in the raw', make the area unequalled as an excellent tropical investment.Disclaimer: Whilst every care has been taken to verify the accuracy of the details in this advertisement, For Sale By Owner (forsalebyowner.com.au Pty Ltd) cannot guarantee its correctness.
