Mena Creek QLD 4871

A building site was left cleared right on Donkin Road, with Ergon Energy power above and a pristine water supply from South Johnstone River source.
Your neighbour will also provide access to a huge waterfall and swimming pool off Beahr Road for extra enjoyment.
It is only 120 kilometres (90 min. drive) south of Cairns International Airport and 25 km from art deco Innisfail. A half hour drive to Mission Beach and Bingle Bay is another alternate for visiting the Reef.
The block is 5 minutes walk from MAMU Wet Tropics World Heritage and an 8 minute drive from Paronella Park, a heritage-listed tourist attraction located at Mena Creek.
Mena Creek has Post Office, shop, hotel and scenic primary school with school bus to the door in Donkin Road.
This site plan (see under floorplan) shows the block of red basalt in the early days of reafforestation. The proposed house block is at the red semi-circle. Serrated red mark is the easement to Troppo architect-designed dwelling Gingers at pinnacle of small triangle.
This property provides a strong future for selective logging with an ABN , while maintaining serious conservation value, if an income stream is preferred (as well as a gorgeous place to build your eco home). Future selective logging of rare native hardwoods is sure to provide long-term income.
Most replanting took place since 1990 when Carbon Credits were supposed to commence - and the scheme is still developing and might add income.
The next owner will have the satisfaction of helping to secure a stronger, better protected Barrier Reef and catchment management, of improving water quality in an area subject to nitrogen-rich agricultural runoff and of saving rainforest diversity.
Wet Tropics represents just 0.26% of the continent, but is crammed with hugely diverse landscapes: rainforests, sclerophyll forests, mangrove forests and shrublands, as well as areas of intensive agriculture and expanding urban rural population centres.
This property enjoyed a Habitat Conservation Covenant with Johnstone Shire Council which was replaced by Cassowary Coast Regional Council.
