Last Listing description (January 2026)

Enjoy privacy and peace with no visible neighbours and large blocks all around. The driveway and front of the property is mostly flat with eucalyptus forest and grassed front yard. The block slopes from the house down with a grassed area transitioning to a substantial area of beautiful rainforest and a creek at the bottom of the block. Despite having a country feel and large blocks, this area is conveniently located less than 20 minutes' drive to Mossman, and 30 minutes to the restaurants, boutiques and marina in Port Douglas. Property is on a quiet road, very close to the local park with horse riding area.

This property is ideal for nature lovers...renowned as a birdwatching hotspot, over 230 species of birds can be found in the Julatten area. As well as the many amazing birds, padymelons and wallabies are often seen on the property, plus the elusive musky rat kangaroo has been spotted below the house.

The elevated 3 bedroom home is designed for tropical living and is of solid timber construction on steel poles. The building is elevated with no risk of flooding. The house has a mixture of natural and painted cedar weatherboard cladding combined with colour bond roofing and a row of clerestory louvre windows positioned between the rooflines. These allow natural light into the building and let warm air escape up and out for natural climate control.

The large kitchen has extensive stainless steel bench tops, abundant draw space and room for pigeon paired fridge / freezer and a large freestanding oven and cooktop.

Lounge, dining and kitchen areas are open plan with high ceilings and superb airy feel. 5 sets of French doors open the main living / dining areas up and provide great ventilation and access onto an extensive wrap around verandah. The timber decked verandah wraps around 3 sites of the house, has plenty of room for entertaining and is ideal for wildlife spotting.

The master bedroom has French doors to access the verandah, built in robes and an ensuite with free standing bath. This ensuite has great natural light and opens onto another decked area at the front of the house.

The second bedroom has a built in loft which allows the lower area to work well as a home office, and also features french doors to allow access on to the verandah and a third bedroom is also on this side of the house.

A double garage with roller doors is at the front of the house, and underneath there is space for a workshop, with a slab floor and numerous power points and light fittings.

A garden shed provides storage, alongside organic vegetable gardens ready to plant out.

A reliable bore can be used for backup water supplies, with an above ground metal tank and in ground concrete rainwater tank providing around 40,000 litres of rainwater storage.
