Close to everything, yet completely private and serene, this environmentally positive property is for sale by Barbara Wolveridge of Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty - Port Douglas.
Perched above the tropical rainforest in Miallo, Queensland, close to Port Douglas, Daintree and the Tablelands, this magnificent, newly built property boasts jaw-dropping views from every room.
Stunning uninterrupted panoramas stretch over the Coral Sea, from Rocky Point, past Low Isles to Port Douglas and further down to Double Island and Cairns.
Owner and designer Allen Perry told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “Our primary objective was to build a high tech, fully self-sustaining Penthouse, not atop a city skyscraper but high on a mountain top on 200 acres of natural rainforest taking in spectacular 360 degree views of the Coral Sea and coastal mountains and waterfalls.”
The residence is a highly efficient, low maintenance, self-sustained smart home, powered by a 15kw (60 panel) solar system. This means the home is entirely off the grid, with a system designed to generate and supply ample power despite any single equipment failure as well as backup generator in the unlikely event it is required.
Inside, the fully automated and energy-efficient C-Bus home automation system controls lights, fans, A/Cs, blinds, temperature, and movement sensors, and is integrated to the audio/video systems, security system and power generation. This can all be monitored and controlled from anywhere in the world via iPhone or iPad (one device monitors and controls everything).
“We’ve used state of the art building design, materials and technology to create a luxurious, low maintenance smart home completely sustained by nature, the sun and rain, but without the usual limitations imposed by living off the grid,” Allen told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
With modern styling and neutral décor, the home has been designed as an entertainers' dream, with features such as a large terrace with a fire pit and wood-fired pizza oven. This side of the home has a wide undercover verandah with a gas barbecue, alfresco dining and sitting area overlooking the mountains and waterfalls.
Floor to ceiling glass sliding doors on both sides of the house provide spectacular views from all rooms, allowing plenty of natural light and breezes into the home, perfect for the tropical climate.
The sleek and modern gourmet kitchen enjoys large composite benchtops and plenty of storage separated from the a free-flowing, spacious living area by an inviting bar. A guests' powder room services the living / entertaining areas.
The master bedroom suite is also on this level with walk-in robes and an impressive ensuite featuring separate basins and stunning shower overlooking the incredible coastal vistas facing south towards Cairns.
An impressive undercover patio runs the full length of the house with an alfresco sitting area and opposite the Master bathroom, an indulgent Oasis hot tub.
The lower level comprises two more king bedrooms both with ensuites and walk-in robes, a study, a large laundry and an impressive 1,500 bottle climate-controlled wine cellar with second fridge/freezer. A double lockup garage and equipment rooms complete the lower level.
A short distance from the main residence there is a rustic dwelling with bed/sitting room, camp kitchen and bathroom, with plenty of possibilities for extra living space, such as teenage retreat or caretaker's cottage.
Floor plans exist to add a home theatre, home office, more bedrooms, gymnasium, sunroom or extra open decks to the existing home if required. There is also plenty of elevated flat land with stunning views for further development.
