Council Approved Turnkey Eco-Cabin on 87 Acres of Freehold land in the Iron Range National Park

Set across 87 private acres adjoining Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range) National Park, this bespoke off-grid eco-cabin offers a rare chance to own a piece of Australia's most biodiverse landscape.
Here, ancient rainforest, abundant waterways, and thriving wildlife create a tranquil escape from the modern world. Watch rare, endemic species from your private covered deck or explore pristine wilderness right outside your front door. Located just minutes from the coast-where the Great Barrier Reef runs closer to the mainland than anywhere else in Australia-this is more than a residence; it is an immersive, high-yield eco-sanctuary built for total privacy.

The Eco-Cabin Features (Council Approved - Build Completed 2026)
Crafted for low-maintenance living and off-grid reliability:
• State-of-the-Art Power & Connectivity: High-performance Victron solar power system (8 solar panels, 2 x US5000 Pylontech batteries), split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans (indoor/outdoor), and high-speed Starlink internet capability.
• Pure Water Infrastructure: On-site bore supplying certified pure drinking water to a dedicated storage tank, high-pressure water pump, septic system, and 2 outdoor taps.
• Thoughtful Living Layout: Fully insulated interior framed by panoramic north- and south-facing windows, featuring 8 interior and 3 outdoor power outlets.
• Bedroom & Kitchen: Dedicated King bed space with dual bedside outlets. Kitchen equipped with cooktop, rangehood, space for a full fridge/freezer, 4 under-bench storage cupboards, and a custom breakfast bar looking straight into the forest canopy.
• Luxury Bathroom: Floor-to-ceiling tiling, large mirror vanity, toilet, dedicated washing machine space, dual-head shower (Rainfall and high-pressure hand shower), and picture windows framing private rainforest views.
• Outdoor Deck: Central roof-covered timber deck designed for open-air dining and wildlife observation.
Access & Location
• Total Seclusion: Private gated driveway with the residence set back ~500 meters inside the property boundary.
• Accessibility: Reached via 4WD or commercial flight to Lockhart River Airport (just ~5 km away).
Ecology, World-Class Fishing & Diving
• Globally Renowned Biodiversity: Direct access to rare fauna found nowhere else in Australia, including the Palm Cockatoo, Eclectus Parrot, Magnificent Riflebird, Green Tree Python, Spotted Cuscus, and Blue Albatross Butterfly.
• Coastal & Marine Access: Positioned 7 km from Lockhart River Beach and 23 km from the Portland Roads boat ramp for outer-reef diving and fishing. Premium estuary fishing for Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, and Mud Crabs is available within 5 km.

Proven Passive Income & High-Demand Eco-Tourism
The property generates strong, versatile revenue streams across multiple sectors, driven by a severe regional shortage of short-stay accommodation.
• Short-Term Holiday Rental: Currently listed on Airbnb with a 5-star rating, pulling for leisure travellers. This price could easily be increased at the owners discretion.
• Long-Term Academic & Research Grants: Bookings from university and private equity ecology researchers conducting field studies on-site for extended stays (1-2 months).
• Corporate & Government Contracting: Leased to visiting tradespeople, private contractors, and government entities (such as the Queensland Department of Education).

Unrivalled Regional Demand With very little competing accommodation for hundreds of kilometers, demand remains consistently high. Revenue is fueled by two distinct drivers: the steady flow of contractors supporting the Lockhart River community, and an eco-tourism market drawn to the region's world-renowned flora and fauna.
