BUSINESS FEATURE

Two stunning properties have just been listed by the same owner in Whyanbeel Valley, often considered the local's best-kept secret. This hidden gem, nestled in croc-safe freshwater creeks, provides the ideal combination of seclusion and convenience.

These expansive acreage properties are not only ideal for cultivatng tropical fruits and raising livestock but are also designed to be ready for any adversity, providing a secure and sustainable lifestyle close to town. “These lots are ideal for families looking to escape city life, remote workers who want an office in nature, wildlife enthusiasts, or anyone who values serenity,” the words of locals.

The Orchard

This property features 200 established fruit trees, a 16.2 megalitre water licence, and plenty of space to expand the orchard, build a second home, or bring other dreams to life.

The current owner has successfully rented the property as an Airbnb, with his children often enjoying the fruits of their labor, literally, by selling produce at local markets.

“The property offers endless possibilities for expansion,” the owner shares. “You can plant more fruit trees or cultivate flowers, herbs, bamboo, and palms. With permanent freshwater from the Daintree National Park, you’re well-positioned to meet the growing demand for clean, organic food. And with an airport nearby, distributing produce nationally and globally is a breeze.”

Perched on an elevated site, the unique three-level home features a master bedroom, a studio, and stunning views from a large verandah. Built on steel posts and finished with silky oak carpentry, this home is as durable as it is beautiful.

The home

Just minutes from Lot 3, Lot 4 is a 4.01-hectare eco-friendly property with an open-plan home, perched on a breezy elevation overlooking the Daintree National Park. This property is a haven for nature lovers, featuring clean spring water from the mountains and private access to the National Park and nearby waterfalls.

The current owner, who has lived here with his family since 2008, began by developing the property from a big blue shed. They added a tool shed, a yoga pavilion, and a small shed for the chooks before constructng a rock-solid home. Built with steel and timber, with no gyprock, this house is designed to last and positioned to maximize the stunning views.

This property offers an immersive nature experience right at your doorstep. Enjoy peaceful walks on your land, let the kids build treehouses, or relax around a campfire. With ample space for hobbies, both indoors and out, it’s an ideal retreat for those seeking a balance of nature and modern living.

“These properties are perfect for families looking to escape city life, remote workers desiring an office in nature, wildlife enthusiasts, or anyone who values peace and serenity,” the owner says.
