This unique property offers the buyer an amazing opportunity for a laid back, tropical lifestyle change. Both the local primary school and boat ramp are around the corner and there is also huge potential for top end holiday letting with its extremely close proximity to Wooroonooran National Park, the Babinda Boulders, Josephine Falls, the Franklin Group of islands and of course the Great Barrier Reef, it has also been approved for a bed and breakfast license and an accomodation dwelling to be built.

Situated just 10 minutes from Babinda's supermarket, stores, schools and hospital, and just 45 minutes from Cairns on the fast developing southern corridor, this is a yet to be discovered area of the amazing wet tropics, this is a reluctant sale as the current owner is committed elsewhere. Rarely does such a unique of property get put out to offer and with its close proximity to Cairns, creek side properties of this calibre are getting harder and harder to find.
