Overview

Set on an expansive 64.74-hectare tract of land (approximately 160 acres) in the serene Upper Barron region, this rural property offers a unique lifestyle opportunity for those seeking privacy, nature, and a blend of comfort and adventure. Positioned just minutes from Atherton and within 90 minutes of Cairns, it combines accessibility with secluded wilderness.

The property boasts significant natural assets including 900 metres of Barron River frontage, a permanent waterfall on Moran Creek, and access to the Herberton Range National Park, affording opportunities for kayaking, swimming, fishing, mountain biking, bushwalking, and horse riding.

Rich in biodiversity, the land supports rare native wildlife like Lumholtz's tree-kangaroos, platypus, gliders, and wallabies, underscoring its ecological significance. Additionally, remnants of WWII military history such as concrete slabs and brick fireplaces offer cultural depth to the estate.

Residential accommodation includes a comfortable primary dwelling suitable for the owner or manager, alongside three guest cabins that collectively sleep up to 18 visitors. Approved operations for nature-based camping target up to 86 overnight guests plus 30 day visitors, providing a turn-key income stream supported by infrastructure such as an active website, online booking platform, road access, water storage, and livestock facilities.

This property is well-suited to purchasers interested in hospitality or eco-tourism ventures, as well as families or individuals seeking a private, nature-rich retreat that supports both lifestyle and commercial possibilities. The existing enterprise could be expanded or adapted for wellness retreats, eco-glamping, environmental education, or farm stay experiences, making it a versatile and rare offering in Tropical North Queensland.

Overall, the property seamlessly blends natural beauty, established infrastructural assets, and commercial viability, presenting a compelling canvas to live, host, and thrive in harmony with the surrounding rainforest heritage.
