Conceived for the North Queensland environment and built with sustainability in mind, this award-winning home nestles into its elevated position within lush rainforest, delivering views towards Glacier Rock and the Kuranda Railway. Comprising two pavilions separated by a central deck, the bespoke form of the property has been uniquely designed to follow the contours of the site, with the responsive split-level layout creating a seamless flow between spaces. Focusing on integrating the elements of liveability, functionality, and sustainability, the interiors feature high ceilings, bi-folding doors, solid timber floors, and expansive use of louvres throughout for cross ventilation and passive cooling. Along with the central deck, two bedrooms feature private decks, and a spacious front deck off the living space further enhances the stunning connection to the natural surrounds, encompassing tranquil vistas in both directions, and a bushland gully backdrop with seasonal waterfall.

Constructed in 2005 using lightweight, termite resistant materials ideally suited to the Tropics, the property was named winner of the 2008 BDA NSW ESD award. A few minutes' walk to popular Stoney Creek Barron Gorge National Park and swimming hole for a refreshing swim. Much loved and cared for by the original owner, the home is an outstanding example of considered design, with a host of environmentally conscious features.
