Inspired by the designs of Ceylonese architect Geoffrey Bawa, Port Douglas’s "Batujimba" was built within a cleared area of tropical rainforest beside a large, private lake covered in waterlilies. 

Agent Barbara Wolveridge told WILLIAMS MEDIA the property has been designed around the views onto the lake. “The areas to sit and read just beautiful – all looking onto the lake, listening to the wildlife and reflecting on the silence. There is nothing better in this world,” she said.

From the private entrance, surrounded by rainforest and garden, the home has been built to the highest standards. 

Walkways connect the entrance to the guest bedroom and kitchen, which adjoins a large overhanging, expansive deck overlooking the picturesque lake and tropical gardens.

Accommodation comprises three guest bedrooms with ensuites and two with showers in the garden, while the master suite features walk in robes and large bathroom.

Parking is plentiful, with two car undercover parking spaces in addition to the two car garage with room for a golf cart.

The home also shares a 17 metre pool and dining pavilion, accessed via a charming walkway.
