Discover Paradise in the Daintree – A secluded retreat with exceptional holiday income potential

Tucked slightly off the beaten track, yet surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in Australia, 'Daintree Magic' is a property that truly lives up to its name. Positioned 53 metres above sea level, and just 400metres as the bird flies from Cow Bay Beach,  this 1.18-hectare estate is embraced by the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Daintree Rainforest and showcases panoramic views across the enchanting rainforest to the Coral Sea.

Virtually untouched and offering one of the most spectacular vantage points in Tropical North Queensland, this property is a rare opportunity to secure a slice of paradise.

A private concrete driveway winds to the hilltop, where a quintessential Queenslander home takes centre stage. Originally constructed in the 1920's and constructed of original Tasmanian timbers, the house was carefully relocated from a Cairns southern suburb and has been beautifully restored, blending traditional character with modern comforts.

Step onto the wide, undercover verandah and take in uninterrupted vistas of lush rainforest rolling down to the turquoise sea.

Designed for relaxed tropical living, the home features:

• Three bedrooms, one bathroom
• Central living and entertaining area flowing through the open-plan kitchen with gas cooking to the verandah with ocean views beyond
• Wide undercover verandah featuring panoramic views across the rainforest canopy to the ocean with outdoor alfresco dining, corner spa bath and hammock
• Swimming pool with timber deck and rainforest and Coral Sea views
• Two large rain water tanks ensuring practical comfort
• Solar electricity with gas hot water system and generator backup
• Satellite NBN Wi-Fi
• Parking for up to five vehicles
• Tropical landscaping completing the private retreat setting
• Private rainforest walking trails leading to a sister retreat and secluded creek

Completely self-sufficient and off grid, the property is sustainably powered by solar energy and supplied with fresh rainwater, offering both comfort and environmental harmony.

Daintree Magic offers a lifestyle unmatched in its serenity —a perfect blend of rainforest seclusion and coastal outlook, a sanctuary where two world heritage areas collide in natural beauty .

This property has been tightly held by its current owners, thoughtfully restored, and is now operating as a highly successful holiday retreat. The Daintree Rainforest is one of the world’s most coveted tropical destinations, drawing around 400,000 nature enthusiasts each year. Part of its enduring charm lies in the unique journey across the Daintree River by car ferry—a memorable experience in itself that sets the tone for a slower, more mindful style of tourism.

Experience the wonders of the Daintree Rainforest right from your doorstep, where vibrant birdlife, playful tree kangaroos, and the occasional rare cassowary sighting make every day feel magical. Surrounded by one of the world’s most unique ecosystems, this property offers a front-row seat to nature at its most extraordinary.

Located just 25 minutes north of the ferry crossing, the property also enjoys convenient access to local dining and amenities scattered along the Daintree and Cape Tribulation coastline.

This property is available to view by private inspection only.
