This classic elevated house is nestled into a stunning established native garden. Containing local Top End native plants it was featured on the ABCs Gardening Australia and twice in Australias Open Garden Scheme.

With gorgeous narrow jarrah timber floorboards and louvred windows the attractive living spaces have a natural ambience and are well ventilated and breezy . fans are usually enough to keep the temperature comfortable (but air-conditioned throughout if needed). The rooftop solar hot water system and grid-connected PV solar system generate plenty of power to keep running costs low.

Enjoy your breakfast on the spacious verandah up in the tree canopy listening to and watching the birds as they feed on the flowers and fruit produced by the plants. Be entertained by the honeyeaters, trillers, fig birds and orioles; there are almost eighty species on the gardens bird list. The monsoon forest trees and shrubs create a green screening buffer to the outside world.

Relax in the cool spa gazing up into the tree canopy and imagine yourself in a rock pool oasis in the rainforest. Wander into shady havens on natural paths through the forested garden. The garden contains nearly a hundred plant species.

Well situated in a blue chip location at the beginning of the northern suburbs, the property is a short drive from the city centre to the south, and hospital, Casuarina shopping centre and university to the north. Nightcliff and Rapid creek markets and shops, the Darwin International Airport, and Millner Primary School are all close.

There is plenty of green space in the neighbourhood with a large park and playground across the road, and the velodrome and associated sporting fields just around the corner.
