Hilltop masterpiece provides unique retreat for nature lovers

Envision yourself perched on your deck, sipping your morning coffee as you watch the sun rise over the Coral Sea, spreading its warm glow across the flourishing rainforest below. This picturesque scene isn’t just a daydream: it’s a potential reality with the emergence of a rare real estate opening. 

Sitting 125 metres above sea level on a striking Miallo ridgetop, ‘Highview’ is the perfect opportunity for those seeking solitude, offering a sensory escape into the heart of North Queensland’s mesmerising landscapes. 

From the privileged vantage point, the sweeping 180-degree views unfold like a living canvas as the ocean, framed by the lush greenery of the rainforest, stretches as far as the eye can see. For the current owners, the cherished moments spent in this haven are numerous and they leave behind a deep connection with the property that is looking to be filled. 

At first glance, there is no doubting the striking nature of the home. Its unique layout and bold, wooden features are hard to ignore. But upon closer inspection, the finer details begin to emerge telling a deeper story and you begin to realise it is so much more than its structure: it’s a poetic expression of tropical living.

Nestled amongst 37.6 acres, the luxurious 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom retreat was built with locally sourced rainforest timber and boasts hand-carved doors and black granite bench tops bringing a contemporary feel.

To the trained eye, the unique, hexagonal open-plan living space, high timber ceilings and modern finishings make it obvious this is a masterpiece of renowned local architect, Chris Van Dyke.
