It's time to make a tropical change with this sublime family home nestled amongst old-growth rainforest on more than 4 acres of land. Whether you enjoy serene views over the cycads and ferns, splash in the saltwater pool or spend the morning harvesting fruits from the numerous mature trees, it doesn't get any better than this peaceful and private retreat.

The home has been crafted using heritage 'Brisbane Sandstone' by GB Masonry with a quintessential bullnose verandah for a classic Queensland feel. Inside, the layout is modern and bright with an impressive total footprint of over 340sqm inside and out.

An open-plan living, dining and kitchen space is the heart of the home with terracotta tiles and hybrid plank flooring on show throughout. High ceilings ensure a light-filled space while the fireplace promises a cosy place to relax throughout winter.

There are four bedrooms, three with mirrored built-ins and easy access to the main bathroom while the owner's suite enjoys a walk-in robe and an ensuite with a double vanity. A 5th bedroom/office offers the flexibility a family needs.

The long list of extra features includes a storeroom and laundry, shutters and fans in the bedrooms, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout, a ducted vacuum system and marine-grade security screens. A 3kW solar system will delight the eco-conscious and there is also an inground 10,000-gallon concrete water tank plumbed to the home and an above ground tank with a 5,000-gallon capacity for the shed.

A double-length driveway has been reinforced to support loaded water tucks and there is also a double garage with a rear work area (12m x 7.5m x 2.4m) and a wood storage area for firewood. Fencing and easy-care gardens envelop the home with trees and plants that include citrus trees, tropical cherry, mangoes and so much more.
