47 Frenchman Creek Road

Babinda QLD 4861

Apart from its natural beauty the property also has an incredible history; it was owned by one of the first settlers in the area the Honourable Victor Albert Nelson Hood, the nephew of Lord Nelson, and the Godson of Queen Victoria. His photos in the listing show the property as it was in 1884, when it was one of the very first houses in Babinda.
The large 4 bed, 1 bath Queenslander home was built in 1948 from Johnstone River Hardwood, and has never been subject to flooding, as it is on the high side of the road. The interior is all Silky Oak and Johnson River hardwood. The view from the front verandah are over fields of emerald green sugar cane, to the rainforest clad mountains in the distance. Flowing out of the mountains, and past the front of the house is a crystal clear creek with a plunge pool surrounded by granite boulders.
