On over 2.5 hectares of land (more than 6 acres), and including spreading lawns, garden beds and native gums, this charming, much-loved family home, benefiting from views and breezes, is an idyllic property. Your ultimate treechange. Breathe, relax, dream.
This property is tranquil and private, situated well back from Highland Drive, a road known for its quiet and secluded nature. A palm-tree lined drive leads to the delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house. High ceilings and use of timber create a welcoming ambiance as you enter. The kitchen is very spacious, with timber benches, generous cupboard space, and a servery to the outdoor living area; included are a dishwasher, gas cooktop and electric stove. There's an indoor timber island dining bench, and the open plan lounge area is airy and comfortable, with a fat-boy fireplace and feature brick wall. The main bedroom has new split system airconditioning and an ensuite, as well as BIRs, and the other two bedrooms are large and also have BIRs. Overhead fans throughout, the laundry is inside, and there's a fenced area to one side of the house, great for small children or pets.
Wide verandahs overlook well maintained grounds, and there's a bar from which to regard your domain. Spy a wallaby at dusk or see if you can add to your birdwatching list of sightings, as this area is well regarded by birdwatchers!
With room for some cows, goats, or horses, the fenced area at the back of the property has even been used as a mini dirtbike track for kids. As well as a variety of mature fruit trees and garden beds, the property is well setup, with multiple outdoor garden taps, a garden shed with built-in work bench, a large 4-bay shed, ample for several and a ride-on mower and more, an additional livestock shed with immediate water access, a dam as well as access to a season waterway at the rear of the property.
Julatten has gentle rolling hills, and is known for its pleasant climate, less steamy than the coast, elevated at about 400 metres above sea level, and surrounded by rainforest. This property is just 25 minutes from both the resort village of Port Douglas, and closer still to Mossman where there are medical facilities including hospital, schools, supermarket. If you prefer to proceed to the Atherton Tablelands, the convenient town of Mareeba is about 35 minutes by car. Closer by, there is a fuel/convenience store one kilometre away, and the iconic Julatten Hotel is just a little further.
