3 Mclean Road Lake Barrine, QLD 4884

A Heartfelt Haven in the Rainforest - 3 McLean Road, Lake Barrine, Cairns Hinterland.

Nestled among the lush rainforest ridges of Lake Barrine in the Cairns Hinterland, this extraordinary home tells a story of family, connection, and resilience. Purposefully built in 1991 to endure the tropics - and having withstood two major cyclones with ease - this hardwood modular Tomi Home has grown over time, evolving with the needs of its family into a truly unique and versatile sanctuary in the heart of the Atherton Tablelands.

Set across three thoughtfully designed levels, the home offers a warm and welcoming layout that blends character, comfort, and practicality. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with timber textures, breezy sunrooms, and inviting spaces that celebrate both togetherness and privacy.

On the ground level, you'll find a beautifully appointed self-contained unit - expertly designed with accessibility in mind - complete with its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and spacious living area, perfect for elderly family, guests, or potential B&B accommodation.

The middle level serves as the heart of the home, with a light-filled sunroom, cosy reading nook, family dining area, and a slow-combustion fireplace that warms the entire floor through the cooler months. Step out onto the expansive covered patio and entertaining area, complete with pizza oven, where memories have been made with friends and family under the stars.

Upstairs, the top level offers three bedrooms plus a dedicated office, ideal for those working remotely or raising a family in this tranquil location. Each room catches the breezes and enjoys views into the canopy, adding to the peaceful atmosphere that defines this home.
