NATURE LOVERS PARADISE
Escape to your own nature lover's paradise on the stunning Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland. Nestled amidst 160 acres of pristine wet sclerophyll forest, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in a unique natural environment.
Encompassing 147 acres of protected Nature Refuge, this sanctuary boasts meandering tracks which wind through the lush forest, including 2km of drivable track leading to the secluded Wondecla Creek frontage which forms the western boundary of the property. Nature enthusiasts will revel in the serenity of their surroundings, and the abundance of native wildlife, including a wide variety of bird species.
While the majority of the land (147 acres) is a dedicated conservation zone, 12.5 acres are excluded from the Refuge and therefore exempt from such restrictions, presenting exciting possibilities for cultivation and development. Six and a half acres are cleared having been formerly a commercial stone fruit orchard. The other 6 acres include the house, garden and adjacent forest.
Infrastructure improvements include:-
- A charming, rustic, 3-bedroom house, seamlessly blending with its environment, clearstory windows allow natural light to filter through the living area, inviting the outside in. A wood burning stove warms the house in winter.
- Modern conveniences such as mains power, NBN satellite internet, mobile phone reception and satellite TV to keep you in touch with the outside world.
- A 2-bay shed close to the house, one bay of which serves as a car port. A car/caravan port on the edge of the garden. A lockable garden shed for mowers and tools etc.
- A smaller 2-bay shed near the cleared paddocks, ideal for horse stables, an additional car port or small tractor storage.
- Abundant water storage with tanks collecting both creek and rainwater. A pump shed beside Wondecla Creek equipped with a Lister diesel engine and Mono pump. The property has a 27 megalitre irrigation water licence.
With the potential for ecotourism and wellness ventures, the property presents opportunities for creating a unique retreat experience. Ample cleared space within the excluded 12.5 acres allows for the possibility of glamping accommodation, capitalising on the area's natural beauty and proximity of many local ecotourism attractions, with Cairns Airport (domestic and international) only 110kms away.
