For the price that this home is now listed for, you would never be able to build a house to this quality!
Perched on the hill tops of East Palmerston, just 20 minutes from Innisfail and Millaa Millaa and one hour’s drive from Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands sits this quality home. It was built to the Vendor’s design, based on the style of a 1930’s highset Queenslander, with verandahs all round and complete with a mango tree and rainwater tank out the front.
There is a major advantage of cool breezes and spectacular location, with 360 degree views of uninterrupted magic including rolling pastured hills, amazing sunsets, majestic mountain ranges including Mount Bartle Frere and distant views of the ocean and Innisfails twinkling night lights. A star gazers dream from all three levels and surrounds. There is nothing left to do but to enjoy this remarkable property that is very low maintenance to cater for those in their later years. Plus there is the opportunity to earn an income with homestays and / or B&B potential.
