KURANDA QLD 4881

A rain-forest residence like no other!

Built to be completely environmentally friendly, the home is completely open, very sturdy and waiting for your imagination. Will certainly be a sensational buy!

This beautifully unique home features exquisite use of natural timbers and design which truly embraces its pristine natural setting.
- Two beautiful private acres with seasonal running creek (8,116m2)
- Distinctly unique with plenty of scope for further creativity

The prior owner of the property was environmental campaigner and active local community figure Dianne Christine Horsburgh. Dianne worked for Wilderness Society and was awarded Conservation Champion 2013 by the Queensland Conservation Council. Her dream was to build a house that was as close to nature without damaging the forest which she certainly achieved in this amazing home.

From the road an off-street parking area leads to a pathway through the forest and onto a private footbridge over seasonal flowing creek. A short distance after the bridge within secluded rain-forest setting hides the truly remarkable residence.

An expansive open-plan living and kitchen area flows out to the full-length balcony with open hexagonal bedrooms/studios-spaces positioned at opposite ends of the home.

Most of the design features throughout are almost too unique to describe. Balustrades are laced with beautiful hand-crafted wrought iron banister fittings; polished timber tree trunks rise through the interior of the home supporting high light-filled raked ceilings; a spiral staircase leads to the underside of the dwelling where a fully enclosed master bedroom with ensuite bathroom is located. The home also features gas cooking and heating appliances.

A private and secluded setting yet located just a short drive to local Kuranda village centre. A truly unique and beautiful rain-forest residence immersed in abundant flora and fauna - an opportunity not to be missed!

Auction to be held on-site; Saturday the 5th of October at 11am.
