Overview
This expansive property in Manunda uniquely combines traditional character living with significant development potential and commercial opportunity. Situated on a large 1,468 square meter allotment near Cairns CBD, the estate includes a beautifully updated high-set Queenslander residence and a substantial industrial-style shed.
The residence offers an inviting environment highlighted by polished timber floors, high ceilings and modern air conditioning, complemented by a spacious wraparound deck suited for enjoying the tropical climate and entertaining guests al fresco. The home’s dual-level configuration enhances versatility:
- The upper level provides comfortable living spaces and three well-sized bedrooms enhanced by natural light.
- The lower level features fully finished multi-purpose rooms, including a renovated laundry and a second bathroom, ideal for hobbies, business, or additional accommodation.
Alongside the residence, the commercial shed spans approximately 420 square meters with concrete flooring, catering to tradespeople, business operators or enthusiasts requiring workshop or storage space near the city.
Beyond current use, the property represents a compelling development prospect. With two titles and potential for subdivision or boundary realignment (subject to council approval), it offers the opportunity to retain and lease the residence while developing the remaining land. Prospective plans could include units, townhouses, or duplexes, making this a rare investment with both immediate income and future growth potential.
Close to schools and amenities, this site presents a strategic combination of heritage charm, commercial utility and development flexibility, attracting developers, investors and business owners seeking scale and location advantages.
