From the moment the current owner first stepped through the front door, she knew this was her home.
"As soon as I walked in and saw the soaring ceilings and the clerestory windows, I was absolutely in love," she shares. "Every single window is green. It feels like you're living in a treehouse."
And that's exactly what 5 Cyathea Close offers - a treetop sanctuary, a peaceful escape, and a home deeply connected to nature.
Elevated above the rainforest and positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, the home unfolds into a warm, open living space where light pours in and breezes drift through effortlessly. The owners describe it as the kind of home where even the rain feels magical.
"Sitting on the couch watching the lightning through the clerestory windows, with the rain on the roof… it's such a beautiful experience."
The expansive deck is where daily life slows down. Morning coffee becomes a ritual. Doors open, birdsong drifts through the house, and the rainforest becomes the backdrop for everything - from yoga at sunrise to wine at sunset.
"Every morning, I roll out my yoga mat, sip my coffee, and just listen to the birds. It's so calming."
The kitchen is perfectly positioned for both everyday living and entertaining, appointed with a 6-burner SMEG gas cooktop, Miele oven, double dish drawers and a walk-in pantry. The servery window straight onto the deck creates seamless indoor-outdoor connection - and has hosted countless memorable meals with friends. "It's a great house for intimate dinners or bigger gatherings… the deck and servery make it effortless."
The master suite continues the theme of serenity, opening directly to the deck with rainforest views and cooling breezes. Bedrooms two and three enjoy privacy and leafy aspects, while the lower level offers a flexible fourth bedroom or office with direct undercover access.
Despite feeling worlds away, the location is incredibly convenient. The owner says it best: "Once you get here, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere - but you're actually minutes from everything."
Walking trails, Stoney Creek, Glacier Rock and Lake Placid are all close by. Shops, cafés, James Cook University, top schools, the airport and the CBD are within easy reach. Even the daily drive home feels special.
"Turning onto Stoney Creek Road and seeing Glacier Rock framed by palms and poincianas… it's paradise."
