The day starts with a walk on Four Mile Beach, and the beach starts 200 metres from your front door. That is the life this villa is built for, and everything about it has been arranged so that the life is all you have to think about.
It stands alone. No shared walls, no stairs, no stairwell, no neighbours above or below. A single level villa in Port Rainforest Grove, a quiet boutique complex on Coral Drive in the residential belt behind the beach, where the people around you are owners who live here rather than guests who leave on Sunday.
Everything has already been done. Timber hybrid flooring and plantation style shutters throughout. Crimsafe screening to every window and door, so the villa can stay open to the breeze day and night, and locked up with confidence when you travel. Upgraded air conditioning and ceiling fans for the wet season. A modern kitchen at the centre of the open plan living and dining area, two well finished bathrooms including an en suite to the master, and built in robes in both bedrooms. There is no project waiting for you here, and no tradesman to chase.
It is bigger than you expect. Approximately 120sqm of internal living, a house sized footprint for a two bedroom villa this close to the beach, plus 40sqm of covered outdoor space including a carport attached to the villa, so the car is always under cover and a few steps from the door. The second bedroom and second bathroom mean family can stay without anyone being underfoot, and the timber cladding and character carpentry give the place a warmth that a rendered box never has.
Port Rainforest Grove has a central pool with sun loungers among established tropical gardens, kept for you rather than by you, with body corporate levies that remain reasonable. Residential zoning means no resort management agreement and no obligation to let. Live here year round, lock it up while you visit the grandchildren, or rent it long term. It is your home, on your terms.
Coral Drive is the part of Port Douglas that people who know the town choose. The beach for the morning walk, the pool for the afternoon, and Macrossan Street, the marina and the Sunday markets an easy ride away when you feel like company.
Offered unfurnished and with vacant possession, so you set the date, not a tenant. Asking $650,000.
