This hilltop retreat is located on the fringe of Port Douglas in the beautiful Mowbray Valley. The property offers a semi-rural lifestyle in an awe-inspiring, pavilion-style, timber home, built to the highest quality over four levels. 

The home has raked timber, cathedral ceilings, air-conditioning, and fans, and has been built high above the treetops to capture sweeping views of the serene Mowbray Valley.

The home has four bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. Each bedroom features sliding timber doors that open to a furnished lanai-style verandah. All the bedrooms have private ensuite bathrooms that are fully tiled and stylishly appointed.

There are multiple living zones with a clever, yet functional, floor plan. A family and lounge room has timber framed, glass bi-fold doors that slide back to give full access to the verandahs. Breakfast and dining on the deck provides breathtaking views over the valley, extending to the Daintree National Forest in the distance.

Entertaining is easy with the impressive kitchen, featuring stone benches, an island breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances, and bi-fold windows and doors.

A stunning feature throughout the home is the polished hardwood floors, creating a flow as you walk from room to room, level to level.

• Cool deep pool with a large timber deck and gazebo, surrounded by native bush and tall trees giving a feeling of total seclusion and privacy
• Rainwater tanks
• Gravel driveway and carport
• Additional caretakers cottage with two bedrooms / one bath, which can be let separately to attract an investment income

The property situated on a prestigious acreage, offers resort-style living designed for entertaining, while allowing for the privacy of a personal retreat. The property could be used as a Bed & Breakfast, subject to local council approval. If you are seeking an idyllic, semi-rural lifestyle, approximately 20 minutes from Port Douglas and 45 minutes from Cairns Airport, then this property will tick all your boxes.
