10 Acre Established, Rainforest Property, The Perfect Tropic Escape

A magnificent, 10 acre approx parcel (4.13 ha), nestled amongst the rainforest at Bilyana, roughly halfway between Townsville and Cairns, only 25 minutes drive from the beautiful township of Tully and just 50 minutes drive from the iconic tourist mecca of Mission Beach .
Only a short drive from the Bruce Highway, disappear into the surrounding trees and weave your way down the secluded driveway, which is a wondrous journey all of its own.
Appear on the other side to a private clearing within the confines of the rainforest and marvel at a paradise of lush green grass, fruit trees, orchids and an abundance of plants and trees, native to the surrounding environment. Pull into the large 4 bay carport, which could also be used as a workshop, with its high roof and concrete floor.
A large patio, perfect for entertaining guests and enjoying home cooked meals on the wood-fire, brick barbeque, while Cassowaries, wallabies and all sorts of other wildlife may casually pass by.
The home was a small besser block shack originally, and has been transformed with the addition of 3 large bedrooms with carpet, built in wardrobes and ceiling fans.
The kitchen and dining area is the star, oozing charm and character, and a separate living room as well as a combined bathroom and laundry with step up bathtub/shower and separate toilet.
Enjoy a short stroll from the house along a walking track through the forest, to a beautiful creek of pristine clear water, that works its way through part of the property. Continue to wander and take in the serenity of the rainforest, along cleared pathways, that have been years in the making. Soak up the peace and quiet as the stress of everyday life fades and immerse yourself in the feeling of complete isolation.
If visitors arrive and you’re ready to take on the world again, treat your guests to some of the most spectacular countryside and beaches Australia has to offer, all within easy day trip distances.
Because the creek never dries up, a Honda firefighter pressure pump is on hand to supply clean water to top-up the tank, and also supplies water to several taps around the house yard for attaching a garden hose.
A water tank supplies clean, fresh water to the house all year round and services to the property include electricity, telephone and garbage collection.
There are 3 primary schools to choose from, all within about 20 minutes drive. The state high school is on the southern outskirts of Tully and is also a 20 minute drive. A school bus operates along Appleyard Road and currently stops for the last pick up before turning around, just 250 metres short of the driveway entrance.
The nearest convenience store and post office is just 15 minutes drive to the south along the highway.
