Tucked privately out of sight from the road, surrounded by lush rainforest and with just one neighbouring property, this beautiful Kuranda home offers something increasingly difficult to find: genuine privacy, abundant wildlife and the convenience of village living, all on a generous 1,757m² allotment.
Here, nature is part of everyday life. Pademelons scamper across the lawn, brilliant blue Ulysses butterflies dance beside the verandah, and a resident bush turkey busily tends his nest.
And the location is something special.
Just metres from the driveway lies the entrance to the beautiful Jumrum Creek walking trails. Follow the maintained paths through the rainforest, cross Jumrum Creek and emerge in Kuranda village, approximately 1.5km away. Alternatively, explore the trails towards the Barron River or the waterfall. Some of Kuranda's most beautiful natural attractions are quite literally on your doorstep.
Yet this is far more than a picturesque rainforest retreat. It's a home designed for practical tropical living.
Solid block construction, a concrete slab, surrounding concrete verandahs, stone retaining walls and permanent garden edging provide durability while minimising the timber rot and ongoing maintenance so common in tropical environments.
The property has not experienced flooding or the persistent mould problems sometimes associated with Kuranda homes.
Despite its generous size, the property is remarkably low maintenance, with expansive lawns, established gardens and plenty of usable outdoor space.
An additional self-contained studio apartment provides excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, a home office or potential supplementary income, subject to relevant approvals.
For those drawn to sustainable living, the large, open lawn presents an exceptional opportunity to establish a productive tropical food forest. A dedicated horticultural planting plan has already been professionally prepared, offering a vision for transforming the grounds into an abundant edible landscape.
A peaceful rainforest lifestyle without sacrificing practicality.
Solid, private, easy to maintain and surrounded by the natural beauty that makes Kuranda so extraordinary.
This is a property where you can enjoy the rainforest, rather than spend your weekends battling it.
