Last Listing description (December 2022)

This jewel in the Crown discreetly nestles on an elevated 819sqm cliff top site, in one of Cairns most sought-after locations. With limited opportunities available, seldom do we see properties of this calibre come on the market. Built around the early 1980's, this architectural "tour de force", was well ahead of its time with its unusual roof angles and raked ceilings. Encompassed in materials befitting its surroundings, this brick and timber home blends effortlessly into the natural environment that cocoons it. From the bushland birdsong in your garden and out to the turquoise hues of the pristine Coral Sea and beyond, to the far horizons of the emerald, green world heritage rainforest, the views are truly breathtaking.
With a diverse floorplan that incorporates over 417sqm there are multiple living options available. Imagine the sound of the waves rolling in as you watch the sunset over your very own piece of paradise. This is Oceanfront living at its best.
There is nothing that you will not love about this home once you have experienced it. To arrange your own private viewing of this remarkable home, please call Sue today on 0402 444 084.
