DESCRIPTION

Just 25 minutes from Cairns City and International Airport, in lush green rainforest hinterland, you will find 8 Butler Drive Kuranda. This property features a timber and glass pole home with pool and a beautiful cottage in landscaped gardens.

The upper level of the home has a large open plan area, incorporating the kitchen, dining and lounge. This level has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The master has an en-suite and huge walk in wardrobe while the 2nd bedroom features a loft, currently used as a library.
The lower level of the home has a large sunroom plus a 3rd bedroom with en-suite.
All floors are polished timber. Extensive use of glass windows and decking enhance the feeling of living in a totally private, peaceful and tranquil botanical garden.

A highlight of the home is over 200 square meters of timber decking, including an entrance deck, entertaining space surrounding the pool as well as a covered deck extending out from the upper lounge area. Unique lead light windows are designed to reflect the garden's tropical flowers.
The property is wheelchair accessible and has all town services with backup systems including full generator power and plumbed rainwater to both dwellings. There are ample storage and workshop areas under the home.

The cottage is a mini pole home with 2 living areas, 1 bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and magnificent decks to take full advantage of the surrounding tropical gardens. Cottage features include lead light windows, polished floor boards in lounge and a beautiful bathroom.

Altogether the property boasts 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 4 living areas.
There is an abundance of biodiversity, a creek with platypus, turtles, gentle rapids and private swimming holes. The forest features many licuala palms, tree ferns, quandongs and other native flora. There is a wood fired pizza oven and a separate pottery shed with a Steve Harrison inspired wood fired kiln with enough wood on the property to keep them both firing for years. The rainforest ecosystem and high ceilings keep the home cool in summer and a combustion fire keeps the chill away in winter.

Kuranda is a place of beauty with a friendly and eclectic mix of professionals, young families, artists, environmentalists and retirees living here. It has great access to shops, restaurants and beaches, yet it's private setting gives a wonderful feeling of peace and tranquility.
