Upstairs is an open plan kitchen, lounge, dining area, with two bedrooms, bathroom and a large deck with an antique bathtub and spectacular views all around. Downstairs is a large rumpus room, another bedroom, bathroom/laundry & a storage room. The land has a perfect mix of established gardens, vegie garden, tropical fruit trees, tropical flowering gingers, lawn and native tropical rainforest. Pristine water is sourced from the crystal clean, permanently swimmable creek below, while water tanks catch the rain from the clean air above. There's no more electricity bills as your energy source is via 13 solar panels with a back-up generator if required.
Privacy, space and nature without the isolation; you are just 5 min to the township of El Arish offering post office, primary school, fuel station and the historical El Arish Tavern, just 15 minutes to Tully, 20 minutes to Mission Beach with its 14km of stunning beaches, shops & restaurants, all weather boat ramp and the tropical islands with the Great Barrier Reef beyond.
The best views are from the spacious deck of this unique pole home where the gentle breezes are always present, where you can sit and relax in the closing hours of the day to watch the sunset. At night you can listen to the distant sounds of rushing water over the rocks below and the water is well-renowned for its quality and taste. With its sandy bottom & pristine water this is the perfect creek to swim & cool off on a summer's day.
This rainforest property also boasts a large steel shed/workshop 12 mtrs x 6 mtrs with its own solar system in a separate area away from the house, with a large area cleared and terraced for growing food or more tropical fruits.
This freehold lot is a very manageable 8617m2, 2.5 acre property, but also has the added bonus of sharing approximately 35 acres of common land with the neighbouring freehold lot. This common land is mainly rainforest and simply offers extra beauty, space and privacy... and being exempt from rates, it is all at no extra cost. It is also possible to split the common land in to two exclusive use zones, survey plans have already been created should that be preferable to the new owner.
This is a very special place.
