Ever dream of being self-sufficient? Or had wishful thoughts of going “off the grid”? Well, have I got the property for you! This property has so many things going for it I may not be able to list them all! But first I must ask, where can you drive 10 mins, hop in a boat and cruise 10 mins and be on heritage listed tropical islands?? One of the best keep secrets in Far North Queensland, COWLEY that's where.
Situated less than two hours south of Cairns (International airport) and only 20mins south of the little township of Innisfail, this property boasts 2.82 hectares of paradise, with not one but two dwellings. One of which is a large HOUSE situated on top of a hill with panoramic views and a breeze to boast about. The other a studio style UNIT, built within the SHED, halfway down the west side of the hill, tucked into the rainforest. Rates are approx. $1200.00 half yearly and the power bill is currently coming in with credits!!
THIS PROPERTY HAS:
• 2 x 5KW solar systems (One on house one on shed).
• Two 25,000lts rainwater tanks (One at house one at shed).
• Private fishing spot on approximately 400mts of Liverpool creek frontage to call your own!
• Large area allocated to a foul coop, currently housing a happy family of Muscovy ducks.
• Raised garden beds for your own personal organic vegie patch
• Variety of herbs potted all around the house.
• Generator power plugs on both dwellings (3 Phase power connected to the property).
• No close neighbours
• Currently established Telstra ADSL connection
• Optus wireless 4G
• Untouched tropical rainforest
• Established Tropical fruit trees (guava, lychee, persimmon, sapote, sapodilla, multiple
types of mango, ladyfinger bananas, custard apple, rambutan, star fruit, bumpy satinash,
orange, lemon, and bush lemon, possibly more…)
THE HOUSE
Beautiful large red brick home with an extremely tranquil vibe. Lots of windows for natural light and that great breeze! The main living, dinning and kitchen area is all open plan and has stunning cathedral ceilings. Big open kitchen, a little aged but as solid as the rest of the house. Charming dinning space complete with your very own bar area! Big enough lounge to accommodate family nights of ‘Netflix and chill’ time! Two good sized bedrooms one with built-ins one without, a huge bathroom including a big tub to match, where you can soak your worries away. The main bedroom is extremely spacious and has a large walk in robe and an ensuite at the south end of the house. The ensuite even has its very own external door so you can walk straight into your shower after a workout or mowing the lawn! Next to that there is a massive laundry with double sink, an internal washing line and ceiling fan, huge linin cupboard and even enough space for a bit of a rumpus room for the kids or a home office.
Both the north and east sides of this beautiful house is wrapped with a veranda so outside living and entertaining is easy! There is also a smaller patio on the south\west corner with access to the laundry and ensuite, great spot for your personal gym. All three bedrooms and living areas are fully air conditioned with Fujitsu split systems.
THE SHED and UNIT
Besser Block construction, steel roof on a steel frame, with two steel lockable sliding gates on the front side, to keep all your tools/toys safe and secure.
The UNIT is open plan or studio style (4mts x 13mts) with a kitchenette and bathroom positioned at each end, and a reasonable sized living quarters in the middle. Fujitsu Split system AC and ceiling fans. Whilst this set up is basic it is very liveable. The laundry area is situated in the shed.
The SHED workshop space is 8mts x 12mts, with a concrete floor throughout, more big widows for natural light and breeze in addition to ceiling fans. It is a GREAT SHED!
Plumbing, septic and soak away system all recently overhauled, and a new hot water system was installed in 2017. Shed living is unbelievably quiet as it backs right into the rainforest and is situated on the west side of the hill which also provides some shade and shelter keeping it cooler!
Due to the age of current owner it has not yet reached its full potential. But could easily be both completely self-sufficient and go off the grid, with just by a few simple additions.
