There is also a huge hangar-style garage (as well as the carport adjoining the main building), providing ample undercover storage for cars, boats, caravans, etc.

The Grounds

Rainforest Estate's abundant, tropical grounds are near the end of a no through road in a pristine rainforest valley with only a handful of large, out of sight, acreage properties nearby.

It's away from suburbia, passing traffic and other unwanted intrusions, yet close to all the action that Tropical North Queensland offers.

Tropical birds, butterflies and Australian native wildlife are in abundance from dawn to dusk and after dark.

The expansive residence is surrounded by acres of sweeping lawns, tropical gardens and exotic fruit and rainforest trees.

Gardens range from mature tropical fruit trees and natives to newly planted exotics. Recent plantings include tens of thousands of native trees, shrubs and exotic plants to provide shade, attraction, aromas, wildlife habitat, colour and tropical snacks. The birdlife and butterflies are abundant all year round.

There's also plenty of room for outdoor activities such as an early morning stroll or power walk, an afternoon game of boulles, kicking a football around or even a little chipping or putting practice for the keen golfers.

A permanent rainforest creek runs along the southern boundary for over 300 feet (100 metres). A walking track follows the creek to steps that provide easy entry into a cool swimming hole fed by the mountain stream. A large bamboo stand under a canopy of rainforest on a bend in the creek is an ideal place to take a dip, read a book, watch and listen to nature, think creatively or just relax.

The year-round flowing mountain creek even contains freshwater fish and crustaceans for keen fishermen.
Another track leads higher, through lush, wet tropics rainforest to the upper areas of the grounds. There are large level pads with extensive mountain vistas, ideal for resting, reading and reflecting.

For the energetic and adventurous, there are walking tracks to high rainforest creeks and spectacular waterfalls. The land rises over 300 feet (100 metres) within the property boundaries backing onto World Heritage, wet tropics national park.

Prefer to fly to and from the property? Your own helicopter pad provides easy access to Cairns International Airport and all local attractions.

The large shed provides plenty of undercover storage for parking cars, boats, trailers and caravans.
