A rare opportunity awaits you at this off-grid home and mushroom farm! Your private rainforest (20 acres)retreat and so much more...

Nestled in a misty valley in Tarzali, this 20-acre property was once an empty field, but since 1995 has been lovingly revegetated into a lush rainforest reminiscent of the Daintree. Pathways weave throughout the property, leading down to a beautiful creek. Enjoy the birds singing and the whispering quiet of the trees as you stand in clear cool water. You may even spot the platypus!
During the revegetation process, the previous owner planted a number of rainforest foods to nurture the native wildlife that live here. In the last year alone there have been sightings of cassowaries, tree kangaroos, and echidnas. You’ll also see Ulysses and bird-wing butterflies, leaf-tailed geckos, and some colourful chatty King Parrots. There are native foods for the humans too, including Davidsons Plums, Lemon Apsens, Atherton Oak Nuts, and other fruit trees.
And the mushroom farm! The owners are happy to help you get started with learning this business. On a weekly basis they produce at least 10 kilograms of Shiitake and Oyster Mushrooms, with the capacity to double that production. They also grow a very popular range of medicinal mushrooms. The owners sell these products locally and huge potential to increase the business in lots of avenues available.
There are many projects ready to start when you are. Including a large veggie garden ready to be planted, and a chicken coop with 8 hens and 2 cheeky roosters. There’s also a workspace next to the shed where you can propagate and grow seedlings. The double-bay shed is also stocked with tools that you are welcome to keep.
This is an off-grid property, with 12kw of solar power stored in 4 batteries, and a secondary 8kw petrol generator as backup for rainy days. Water supply will never be an issue here, with tanks ready to collect rainwater (an average of 1033mm annually). A spring supplies the creek year-round with fresh water. This water supply can be used to water the gardens and the mushroom farm. When pumped to the top of the property, it can feed back down into 5 different tanks that total 49,000 litres of stored water.
The Atherton tablelands is typically 7 degrees cooler than the Cairns area, some say it’s like living in natural air conditioning! Only 10 minutes away is the small town of Malanda, with Malanda State Primary School and the high-achieving Malanda State Highschool. The local school bus passes the front gate daily. There are markets and events every weekend across the Atherton Tablelands, and Cairns airport is just 80 minutes away.
The main house is unique, as it started out as a shed, but has been expanded into a well-appointed house. There are three large bedrooms, and the master opens out onto a shady deck. Leading back through the wide hallway is a large bathroom, and an open laundry with ample storage space. Finally you enter into a large open studio space with a kitchen and living room. The kitchen has a gas burner cooktop and spacious benchtops, ready for you to cook up a feast with your fresh mushrooms!
For guests, friends or even as a second house, the granny flat already has a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. A separate building to the main house and can remain as is with two car spaces or convert to a second house. So many choices.
Take a closer look at this unique and amazing property. It has it all. Total privacy from the outside world, totally 'off grid,' a natural rainforest to call your own, birds and wildlife galore and of course the Mushroom Farm. Call me anytime on 0417 167 695 to have a chat about how special this property is and how easy it would be to make it YOURS...
