Ray White Port Douglas proudly presents "Seakret" a Tahitian longhouse design, perfectly positioned on the beachfront at Cooya Beach, North Queensland. The ocean breezes move gently throughout its open plan design. The Tahitian longhouse is traditionally used as a communal dwelling for extended families and as a gathering place; the design accommodating several generations when together.
Most of the year you live on the generous wrap around verandah living areas with gates for the safety of the young ones. There is a feeling of being in a treehouse with each window only seeing the surrounding tropical garden with ultimate privacy for every room.
"Seakret" is not just a home; it's a sanctuary, a place where memories are created, and where time stands still. It's the perfect retreat to recharge, relax, reconnect with yourself, your family, friends, and the natural world. Well-built with timbers from the Johnstone River sourced by the first owner 40 years ago; it is a timeless property and remains unique in both design and the use of hardwood throughout.
"Seakret" is located on a huge 1559m2 commanding corner lot with two street access. The style of the architecture is relaxed, genteel and inviting. The high-pitched internal ceilings with exposed beams and air vents provide essential cross ventilation and are a dramatic crowning feature of the interior. The open floor plan shows off the beautiful timber flooring throughout the home and a strong connection to nature with a seamless transition to the extensive wrap around verandahs accentuating the tropical indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
Every aspect of this home has been carefully designed to cultivate a sense of ease and serenity, from the moment you awake and sip your coffee with the sun rising pink over the Coral Sea on the front verandah. With an emphasis on relaxed informal living, this home provides multiple spaces both inside and outside for both solitude and shared moments.
With just a 5-minute drive to Mossman, all you need from schools to shops is just around the corner. This is the charm of living on the original beachfront known locally as "Old Cooya". You are only a 15-minute drive to bustling Port Douglas when you need that buzz, and then as you drive back into Seakret you feel the privacy of truly living in your own tropical paradise.
At the heart of this captivating beachfront home, is arguably the "coolest" pool in North Queensland! This cool and expansive resort-style freeform pool awaits all who live at Seakret. Whether you're seeking a refreshing dip, a moment of peaceful reflection, or a lively gathering with friends and family, the pool is more than just a place to swim. Its freeform design effortlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, mimicking the organic curves and contours found in nature. Lush tropical foliage encircles the pool, creating a natural privacy screen and infusing the atmosphere with vibrant shades of green.
As the day gently transitions into night, there is no better place to witness the breathtaking beauty of the setting sun over the mountains to the west, than from the back verandah of this captivating Tahitian longhouse. Known as the "sundowner spot", this outdoor haven provides a front-row seat to nature's nightly masterpiece and ever-changing colours.
This tropical paradise unfolds in the fully fenced extensive garden, with fruit trees and Daintree butterflies visiting the many flowering shrubs; the scent of sea salt and tropical blooms fills your wellbeing as you meander around the tropical surrounds of the very private grounds.
Downstairs the property houses a third bathroom, a laundry room and ample games and storage areas. This is a blank canvas for the next owner with potential to be built in, for the many purposes they may envision.
The residence has dual access via the beachfront (Bougainvillea St) and the rear (Poinciana Street). The carport at the side of the home allows for up to three vehicles to be undercover. Seakret is the essence of tropical living and is much more than just a cool high-set beachfront home - it's a haven.
