Off-Grid Retreat on 10 Acres in the Daintree Foothills
Instantly appealing off-grid home sits on a gently sloping 10-acre block nestled at the edge of the Daintree lowland rainforest-a perfect blend of comfort and seclusion with just the right amount of wild charm.
The property features a quiet, seasonal creek winding its way through the land, creating peaceful spots to relax and recharge. Towering trees, clusters of fan palms, and scattered vines give the landscape a lush, yet manageable feel-ideal for those seeking a life closer to nature without feeling swallowed by it.
The home itself is thoughtfully positioned with the environment in mind. A large, covered outdoor entertaining area-perfect for weekend BBQs or evening meals-flows easily into the indoor dining and lounge spaces. Inside, the layout is simple and functional, with a well-equipped kitchen, two queen-sized bedrooms with built-in robes, a breezy retro-style bathroom, and a handy office nook tucked into the hallway. The entire home is fully insect-screened, making it easy to enjoy the open-air lifestyle without hassle.
This property has served both as a private getaway and a popular Airbnb, thanks to its tidy presentation and solid off-grid systems.
A 6x9m two-bay shed sits nearby, complete with a workshop, laundry, and storage areas, plus an adjoining carport and extra open parking. The shed also houses the solar power system, which includes a 1.83kW array, 900AH battery storage, and a quiet 5.5kW backup generator that kicks in automatically when needed-an efficient, low-maintenance setup that covers all your power needs.
Water is drawn from a deep bore tapping into the clean Daintree water table and is gravity-fed to the home from a header tank, ensuring good pressure throughout.
The property offers great potential for small-scale gardening or hobby farming. There's an existing orchard, reticulated water, and ample room to expand with veggie beds or creative landscaping projects.
Thornton Peak rises in the distance, providing a picturesque backdrop. There's even a cleared site up the hillside or across the creek-ideal for adding a cabin, artist's studio, or quiet lookout space.
Reliable mobile coverage from both Optus and Telstra means you can stay connected, and the open sky makes the location well-suited for satellite internet.
