Set across approximately 70 acres, the property offers a wonderful combination of open country, natural bushland, wildlife and plenty of creek country, with fencing around the perimeter except for the creek crossing. Located under 30 minutes from Cooktown, the property offers the feeling of getting away from it all while still being within easy reach of town. There is approximately 4 km of dirt road access, with the property approximately 4 km from the Archer Point turn-off, with further access through to Trevethan Falls.
For those looking to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle, the Council-approved open-plan dwelling is nearing completion and provides a comfortable base. The property features a substantial 48-volt off-grid solar power system, comprising approximately 7kW of solar generation, 38.7kWh of LiFePO4 battery storage and a 10kW Victron inverter. The system is housed in a dedicated, air-conditioned room to help protect the equipment from the Far North Queensland climate, with smart monitoring available through the control screen and mobile app.
Additional infrastructure includes a 5,000-litre rainwater tank, septic system, gas stove and air conditioning, along with a pig pen and shipping container. Quarry gravel and granite are also found on the property. Another standout feature is the established collection of tropical and subtropical fruit trees, with Macadamia, Mango and Jackfruit currently flowering, offering the opportunity to enjoy fresh produce from your own property.
Water is another major feature, with two bores, together with seasonal creek areas and the continual trickle of Trevethan Creek. The natural environment is equally impressive, with cedar, bloodwood, Moreton Bay ash, cluster figs and sandpaper figs throughout the property. During the wet season, the landscape comes alive with Cardwell lilies and lush tropical growth.
The mountainous backdrop includes Mount Amos, rising to approximately 874 metres, with the property nestled amongst the Trevethan Range country. Trevethan Falls is nearby, along with the distinctive granite landscape of Black Mountain. The surrounding ranges provide a spectacular natural setting and a real sense of being immersed in the Far North Queensland wilderness.
This is a property offering a rare combination of space, natural beauty, established fruit trees, water and substantial off-grid infrastructure, ideal for someone looking to escape to the country and create their own Far North Queensland lifestyle.
