About this property
Summary:
Set high in the Redlynch Valley, enjoy stunning views and private access to heritage listed tropical rainforest from the comfort of this beautifully styled and well appointed modern home. A great base to explore Cairns CBD, Port Douglas, Palm Cove, Kuranda Village, Daintree Rainforest, and access the Great Barrier Reef. Although with the excellent bushwalking tracks, waterfalls and freshwater swimming so close to the house, you might not want to leave the valley.
The Space:
Where Luxury Meets Ancient Rainforest
Some homes impress. Others leave a lasting impression.
Perched above the lush Redlynch Valley and surrounded by one of the world's oldest tropical rainforests, this extraordinary architect-designed retreat is a private sanctuary where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.
Wake to the sounds of native birds echoing through the rainforest. Open the expansive glass doors and let the fresh mountain breeze flow through the home. Spend your days floating in the stunning infinity pool overlooking the valley before gathering with family and friends for sunset drinks on the entertaining deck.
Every space has been thoughtfully designed to blur the line between indoors and out. Natural timbers, soaring ceilings, premium finishes and panoramic rainforest views create a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Whether you're enjoying the open-air rain shower in the master suite, relaxing beside the pool or watching butterflies and colourful birdlife from the deck, you'll experience the unique beauty of Tropical North Queensland from every corner of the property.
Despite its peaceful setting, you're only minutes from Crystal Cascades, local cafés and shops, and just a short drive to Cairns, Palm Cove, Kuranda and the Great Barrier Reef.
