A unique 258ha property (640 acres) where a pristine mountain stream provides a permanent, secure unpolluted water supply for this acreage with 160 acres cleared for grazing and crops. Surrounded by forest on all sides, you could tuck yourself away and become self-sufficient. Come to where they measure the rain in metres not inches. Gently undulating land rises to 300 metres above sea level and provides elevated areas from which to survey the countryside. Rainforest clad mountains drenched in dense green foliage frame this diverse landscape. Ideal as a eco-tourist retreat, with all the necessary ingredients to make it a success. Comfortable improvements include a 16m x 10m machinery shed and a "settlers cottage" providing shelter from the sun by day and on a moonlit night, you can gaze in wonderment at the stars as you breathe in the fresh mountain air. Follow the timber tracks through the dense forest and discover the inhabitants who call this their home:- Cassowaries, wallabies, graceful pythons, lizards and a host of birdlife. Situated half way between Cairns and Townsville in the centre of a vast natural wonderland comprising of World Heritage rainforests, waterfalls, swimming holes, wilderness tracks, whitewater rafting, long sandy beaches, canoeing, crabbing, fishing and boating. The nearby islands of Dunk and Bedarra are within easy reach of the coastal towns of Mission beach and Tully Heads.
