Rainforest seclusion
SET high on the hill in the Ridge Estate, halfway between Port Douglas and Mossman, a uniquely different timber pole home is designed to take full advantage of its private location, pristine surroundings and uninterrupted views.
Shane Wight of LJ Hooker Port Douglas said the wide, all-weather concrete driveway wound its way up from the road to arrive at this imposing home that rises up from its 1ha parcel of rainforest to take full advantage of its unspoiled panoramic views encompassing cane fields, meandering waterways, the Coral Sea, Port Douglas, Snapper Island and the surrounding coastline.
“A substantial concrete staircase provides access through the middle of the home to arrive at the unique semi-open design of the kitchen and main living area that puts you at one with nature and the elements – reminiscent of a luxury treehouse,” he said.
“With its feature timber benchtop, gas cooktop, dual sinks, dishwasher and walk-in pantry, the kitchen prefaces the dining and living space that wraps around the main staircase to revel in those inspiring views.
“Timber and thatch features prominently in the oversized master bedroom whose windows frame nature’s canvas and capture wonderful natural light and airflow.
“From the master, the circular floorplan flows through to a secondary bedroom (currently used as a home office), the laundry and alfresco-style bathroom with its claw foot bath and unimpeded shower set against the natural backdrop of the hillside.
“Residing at the top of a separate staircase, the third bedroom is even larger than the master and enjoys its views from slightly greater elevation.
“Outside, the predominantly vegetated block is interspersed with a couple hardstand areas that hold excellent potential for a granny flat (STCA), sheds, or additional parking for a caravan, trailer, boat, etc. “Additional features include solar power, water tanks, a secure entry gate and a total of 1.03ha.”
68 Ocean View Road goes to auction, onsite, on Thursday, November 14 at 5.30pm.
