Positioned at an exceptional elevation, this charming homestead enjoys breathtaking views across Bartle Frere and the surrounding mountain ranges. Originally relocated from Spence Street in Cairns, this solid, character-filled residence has proudly occupied its hilltop setting for over 40 years.
A scenic ascent on bitumen road leads to the home, where sweeping views create an immediate sense of space and tranquility.
The sun-drenched front veranda provides a welcoming entrance and the perfect place to relax and take in spectacular sunsets.
Inside, a spacious living room showcases beautiful original features, reflecting the timeless character of the home.
At the heart of the property is a country-style kitchen, crafted from oak timber milled directly from the land. Thoughtfully positioned, it captures abundant natural light and cooling breezes throughout the year.
The home offers two generously sized bedrooms featuring polished black bean timber floors, built-in wardrobes, air conditioning, and ceiling fans for year-round comfort.
The bathroom is a standout feature, with a vanity and mirror handcrafted from timber sourced on the property-truly unique and rich in character.
A large, custom-built laundry sits adjacent to an expansive craft or sewing room, offering flexibility for a variety of hobbies or creative pursuits.
Extending the full length of the home, the family room provides an impressive entertaining space with stunning views over the gardens and mountains-ideal for hosting family and friends.
