A country estate to rival the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast hinterland, yet just 10 minutes from the Cairns CBD, "Morinda House" is a generational home the likes of which is often sought, but so very rarely found - offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years.
Growing 3 generations of the one family under its roof, this stunning Queenslander residence sets an incredible standard of living, immaculately maintained and restored over decades of ownership to create a unique 7 bedroom, 4 bathroom home spanning approximately 700m2 across two levels. It's becoming rare to find blocks of land that size, let alone a home of such scale, to such a standard.
Built for the tropics but retaining the character and charm for which this style is so beloved, polished timber floors are complemented by soaring 3m+ ceilings, delicately executed ceiling roses and architraves, and bay after bay of casement windows opening out to its gorgeous bushland setting. From stair bannisters to the expansive timber deck, you can see this is a home that has been planned from the start, and cared for ever since.
A multitude of living areas and excellent separation across levels and between wings provides an ideal multi-generational home for the largest of families. The lower level plays host to 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a laundry, kitchenette and living areas, while the upper level provides a further 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, laundry, multiple living areas and gorgeous, modernised country kitchen serving out to the covered deck.
The deck itself runs for 2 sides of home, with bushland and mountain views and a fantastic outlook over the 8 x 18m magnesium in-ground pool and ample cleared spaces. Befitting its size and location, this home is built to entertain, and for those lucky few with an invite - it won't disappoint.
Beyond the home, a separate shed and granny flat provide a further 360m2 under roof, with the self-contained 2 bedroom granny flat including a full kitchen and bathroom. Great for nudging along older teenagers, or extra income.
The main shed includes mezzanine storage, parking for 8 vehicles (or more) and a substantial solar system which has historically offset all power usage for the home. A second 2 door colourbond style shed provides extra storage or the beginnings of a stables for those that like room to horse around.
Backing onto a creek and forested reserve, there is no rear neighbour, just room to move.
An absolutely incredible home, inspections are by appointment only. Contact Tom Quaid at Colliers.
