Master built Beachfront home

This striking, solid brick and block home was built by one of Innisfail's most highly regarded builders for his wife to enjoy. It sits on 1004 sqm( just over 1/4 acre) with nothing between you and the beach.

The entry statement is the grand winding staircase, something akin to what you might find at Raffles famous hotel, or perhaps you can imagine Rhett and Scarlet from Gone with the Wind. It is impressive and speaks to the quality of the build. Add to this the gallery effect of feature leadlight windows created by Artisans from Babinda, and you know you are somewhere special. The living areas are huge with high ceilings and large floor-to-ceiling glass. They are duplicated up and downstairs, and the upstairs has a very large wrap-around verandah making the most of the stunning views and ocean breezes.

Built over two levels with a suspended concrete slab between means great thermal mass and a living environment with milder temperature changes. The sea breeze will provide Mother Nature's air conditioning, and if all else fails, the 9KW (industrial size) air conditioning in the main living room has it covered. Don't fear the power bills because 10 Kilowatts of solar take care of that.

The floor plan is perfect for extended families with a bathroom both up and down, a fourth bedroom and an office/ craft room downstairs. The kitchen is large and open with a long stone benchtop and good-quality appliances. It is all view whilst you are cooking. The garage is big enough for three cars and has internal access to the home.

Unusually, this property has a paper road beside it, which allows for full access to the rear of the property. Here you will find the purpose-built boatshed, the idea being that you can launch your fishing boat straight out of the backyard.

Sometimes there is a compromise between the perfect beachfront block of land and a quality home. There are no such compromises here. Enjoy your morning and evening walks along the long beachfront and get up early to catch the gorgeous sunrise over the Coral Sea.

You have worked hard for this!
