The Original ‘Casual Cassowary Devonshire Tea House’
Paradise is not Lost!
A rare opportunity presents to the market to secure a unique holding of 6.8 Hectares of freehold bushland & rainforest with quite simply the most magnificent & breathtaking views you will find, looking out over some 80 kms of coastline, the Hinchinbrook Channel, Hinchinbrook Island & the Palm Island Group, this is Classic Tropical Paradise at its very best.
Hinchinbrook Island is Australia’s largest island National Park & is separated from the mainland by the deep & narrow, mangrove fringed Hinchinbrook Channel, which is protected within the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef area.
Formerly the Casual Cassowary Devonshire Tea House built in 2000 by its’ current owners - ‘A World-Class View’ Lonely Planet Overseas Travellers Guide to Australia 2003 by its’ current owners, this absolutely private & exotic hideaway is located off the Bruce Highway, just 18 kms North of Ingham & 1.5 hours North of Townsville.
On entering the property through the double-gated entry, you proceed some 600 metres along the bitumen driveway & then you will start to truly appreciate this most amazing property location, as did the many customers when the tea house was in operation.
The first dwellings you will encounter are two lovely self contained, one bedroom cottages, each with their own verandah, with Rainforest & Seasonal Creek backdrop, boasting 31 sqm of holiday living perfect for your guests… of which you are assured of receiving when living in such a perfect spot! The cottages, with rainforest buffer providing a natural privacy screen, each have a bunk bed nook allowing for 2 extra people.
The main residence offers 243 sqm of internal living & 97 sqm of tropical outdoor living under mainroof with a Panorama second to none!
The living area is of grand proportions, as is the functional commercial kitchen with massive walk in pantry. Four large picture windows of toughened glass frame the panoramic view. Three resort size bedrooms exude the feelings of relaxation, being both comfortable, with extra laidback surrounding, makes you feel like you are on a perpetual holiday!
