Overview
A Sanctuary of Space, Privacy and Panoramic Views
Positioned high on the escarpment with an elevated eastern aspect, this property offers more than just a home; it is a private sanctuary characterized by space, seclusion, and breathtaking panoramic views. Upon arrival, the uninterrupted vistas take center stage, stretching across the Coral Sea, Green Island, the Cairns City skyline, and the surrounding mountain ranges. This ever-changing backdrop transitions from golden sunrises to shimmering city lights at night.
Set on 3.92 hectares of pristine rainforest, the estate provides an extraordinary level of privacy rarely found, where the only neighbors are the sounds of nature and the horizon. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings enhance the spaciousness and frame the stunning views as a living masterpiece from within the home.
The residence is designed to embrace its remarkable location, opening seamlessly to expansive outdoor entertaining areas, each thoughtfully oriented to capture the outlook. A custom-designed in-ground resort-style pool with an integrated spa and waterfall serves as a striking centerpiece, offering a relaxing place to unwind while enjoying sweeping coastal and city vistas.
Although the property spans nearly 10 acres, much of the land remains untouched rainforest, preserving its natural beauty and seclusion. The versatile configuration includes a well-appointed main residence complemented by a fully self-contained second dwelling, ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, or additional income. Together, the two dwellings provide three independent living areas.
Surrounding the two dwellings is approximately half an acre of usable land, carefully positioned to offer exceptional privacy even between the residences. This area has been landscaped with a blend of tropical and native plantings, creating a low-maintenance setting that complements the environment while allowing flexibility for further enhancements.
This rare property combines a significant landholding with two well-maintained residences, offering exceptional flexibility and strong financial appeal. It delivers a lifestyle of space and luxury seldom seen within an inner-city suburb, where typical land sizes range from just 700 to 1,000 square meters.

- Three generously proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in robes, plus a versatile home office suitable for remote work, study, or use as a fourth bedroom
