This is a chance to buy a very special, exotic home, previously featured in Home Beautiful magazine. It is just two minutes away from the rainforest village of Kuranda, well known for its tropical vegetation and cool climate, at an altitude of 380 metres above sea level. You can live a quality lifestyle here, where you will be enthralled by the peace and quiet, the natural gardens, the ponds and waterfalls, the profusion of tropical plants, and the beautiful birds, butterflies and animals. Smithfield, Cairns' northern beaches, the International airport, and the CBD are within a 20-30 minutes drive.

There is a stylish octagonal, double level residence with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, overlooking a beautiful lily pond. The style exhibits a mixture of Balinese and Japanese features, with a covered timber deck extending over the pond. The ground floor consists of a tiled open plan living area, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the first floor, which is a suspended reinforced concrete slab. Eight external and four internal reinforced concrete columns support the structure, so it is an exceptionally strongly built and low maintenance house, but it looks light and airy due to Japanese Shoji screens and red cedar cladding.

Nestled away to one side of the main house, behind the double garage area, is a cosy 2 bedroom granny flat. This is private from the main house and has its own separate entrance and another double carport. It also has a small private yard and a laundry. This would be an ideal accommodation for an elderly relative, or independent teenagers. Because it is separate from the house, it can also be rented, and so provide an income. A solar panel array exports power to the grid and so provides further income.
