A Retreat Like No Other
Set high in the lush Atherton Tablelands, just a couple of hours from Cairns, Mission Beach, and the Great Barrier Reef, this 10.20-acre property offers the perfect balance of privacy, natural beauty, and creative living.
Backing directly onto World Heritage–listed rainforest, this peaceful hideaway is alive with cassowaries, butterflies, birds, and the endless wonders of far north Queensland.
