It’s not every day that home buyers are presented with an opportunity to purchase one of Douglas Shire’s most beautiful and luxurious homes, but with the impressive Jade Ridge recently placed on the market, luxury property seekers can do just that.

Nestled among the lush greenery of Bonnie Doon, just ten minutes from Port Douglas, 38 Eagle Close offers a blend of architectural magnificence and natural beauty, making it a standout property in Queensland's Tropical North.

Property Shop Port Douglas Estate Agent, Matthew Essex, says the market waits for sales like this. “This is a one of a kind home, unlike anything else in the area” he explained. “It’s been 10 years since buyers have had this opportunity.”

Designed by renowned architect Chris Van Dyke, this 600m² residence exudes grandeur from every angle. It’s the sweeping views of the Coral Sea, Low Isles and Snapper Island that will catch your attention first but as you begin to take notice of the architecture, you’ll be amazed at its intricate and delicate details. It is in the quality of this build that sets it apart, and with no expense spared to make it so. “I’ve been lucky enough to have sold some really beautiful properties in the Douglas Shire, and for me, Jade Ridge stands out for its exceptional quality,” Mr Essex explains.

Complimenting the structure, the views are truly unrivalled. “Not many properties enjoy a view like this,” Mr Essex continued. “Yes, a lot of properties boast far reaching views, but the position of Jade Ridge, 2-km from the coastline, is unique. It brings its ocean views into the foreground, making nearby islands on the horizon seem even closer.” 

"Facing east, it enjoys the perfect sunrise over the ocean, as well as a moon rise from behind Port Douglas' peninsula,” Mr Essex continued. “I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to hold the photoshoot over a full day and I urge any prospective buyers to agree to a 6am inspection to witness the sunrise for themselves as it really is breathtaking!"

Van Dyke’s signature style oozes throughout the property with his use of Spotted Gum for pillars, beams and staircases mixed with Mango Wood and American Oak, bringing a feeling of warmth and class often lost in luxury homes.  

Asking offers over $3,250,000, the property currently accommodates four bedrooms and a self-contained granny flat, but with additional rooms which could be utilised by the new owner. Further down the lot, additional vacant land offers space for a shed, office or even a care takers residence.

Built for entertaining, the covered veranda is at the heart of this home, so large that it is famed in the area for hosting wedding parties of up to 120 guests. The list of impressive features for this stunning property is endless.
