516 Brooks Road

This 10.2-acre (4.13 Ha) property offers the ultimate private escape, whilst being anything but remote. Set on a picture-book country road with no through traffic, you are just minutes from a boutique country cafe and 10 to 15 minutes, via several stunning waterfalls, to the nearest country town of Millaa Millaa, with the village pub and café being the social hub of the community. The property is completely private, with its natural forest providing a buffer between you and the unseen neighbouring farms. There are cleared glens throughout, and the elevation of the block gives you unimpeded views of Mount Bartle Frere, the highest mountain in Queensland. Cassowaries are known to transit through the block on their way into the World Heritage Listed Rainforest that bounds the property to the South- East. The striking concrete tower, think Rapunzel, has been used as a stained glass workshop and weekend retreat, with the upper-level deck making the most of the outstanding rural outlook. This is a cosy yet robust and well-built building, that is as unique as it is charming. There is also a rustic cabin that is equipped for living in while building, or for weekend visitors, with a fully restored pot-belly stove and kitchen area. Mains power is connected, there is a gas hot water system providing endless piping hot showers and a flushing toilet connected to the onsite management system. Hand-laid stone pathways enhance the property, and the outside fire pit with garden lights is the place where stories can grow. When it comes to growing, the land has incredibly rich, mineralised soil and there are already multiple established fruit trees, including macadamias, citrus, coffee, passionfruit, Brazilian cherry trees and avocado. The property is fenced on three sides, with the 4th bordering the creek and wild rainforest. Tools are stored in the tandem garage/workshop (with a lock-up area possible), plus a fully lockable container with built-in robust shelving is included as well. The creator of this private piece of paradise was an Artisan who built the structures and created the many leadlight artworks that feature throughout the structures. These manageable-sized lots are getting hard to find on the Atherton Tablelands, so this truly unique parcel of land is the perfect opportunity to secure a foothold in the tightly held rural market, with a property that you can enjoy right away and improve even further as time and money allow.
