Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this charming Queenslander-style home set on a generous 1,012m2 allotment is a unique opportunity to secure an irreplaceable property in the very heart of Port Douglas.
Lovingly held and meticulously cared for, the home captures the essence of the classic Tropical North Queensland and Port Douglas lifestyle - relaxed and refined. Framed by manicured cottage gardens and a timeless white picket fence, the private residence unfolds as a private sanctuary just moments from the very centre of town. Affectionately known as The Princess of Port', this beloved home has been a quiet landmark in the heart of town for decades.
Just an easy 2 minute stroll to Macrossan Street, the vibrant heart of Port Douglas, this is one of the last remaining character homes of its kind in such a tightly held central location. Walk to iconic Four Mile Beach or the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, stroll to the restaurants for dinner then return home to a peaceful, secluded oasis that feels a world away from the energy of this celebrated coastal destination.
Timeless Character, Enduring Appeal
Step inside and discover interiors rich in warmth and authenticity, where original features and thoughtful details create a home of enduring charm including:

An Enchanted Garden Setting
Outdoors, the home is surrounded by quaint, established gardens with pergolas that feel both intimate and magical:
- Paved pathways flow seamlessly to a front-garden BBQ area, then continue through to a garden shed and a private rear alfresco living space
- A charming winding garden path linking the detached studio to the main residence
- Cottage-style tropical gardens featuring mandarin and mango trees, lipstick palms, bromeliads and orchids
- Double carport offering practical and off street parking
The detached studio offers flexibility for a guest retreat, creative pursuits, or a private workspace, further enhancing the home's versatility.
A property awaiting its next chapter
Held by the same ownership for over 40 years, this beautiful home now invites new custodians to continue its story. Whether you choose to honour and restore its timeless charm, enjoy it as a peaceful coastal retreat, consider its vacant land potential (Zoned for Tourist Accommodation) or subtly reimagine it for contemporary living, the opportunity is exceptionally rare. The home is to be sold unfurnished, allowing the purchaser to style the space to their own taste.
This is more than a home - it is a special piece of Port Douglas, where charm, lifestyle, and an unrivalled location come together in perfect harmony.
Opportunities to secure a quarter acre of residential land in the heart of Port Douglas are exceptionally rare. Opportunities to secure one held by the same family for more than 40 years are even rarer.
This property is available to view strictly by private inspection only.
