Located in the small village of Paluma surrounded by rainforest and national Parks is this gorgeous historic cottage. A time capsule full of charm and character this lovely home has very unique features and beautiful street appeal.
A timber and rendered fence with agapanthus garden beds either side of a central footpath lead to the gorgeous rendered façade and timber features with a delightful front porch and a split barn style front door.
The original part of the home features 2 bedrooms and open plan living area, characterised by dropdown windows with heritage patterned glass and timber shutters (screens are available to add when the windows are open ).
A later addition to the home is a second stepdown living room, bathroom with corner bath and separate laundry. A dual frontage fireplace adds warmth and ambience whilst floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors open out to a full length covered verandah overlooking the tropical garden and rainforest boundary.
If you are a person who enjoys peace and tranquillity rather than restaurants and bars for your weekend getaways and you don't mind the gorgeous mountain drive with waterfalls along the way and spectacular coastal views, then this is truly a place which will delight your senses.
Approximately 1 hour from Townsville, Paluma itself is a historic small community with a population of less than 100 homes - mostly weekenders or occupied by retirees. The community is friendly and eclectic including authors and artists. Locals call it paradise.
With an average temperature of 26 Degrees, it is truly an appealing north Queensland escape. Residents have the opportunity to grow gorgeous gardens, relax at home with cosy fireplaces (definitely needed in winter) and enjoy local bushwalks and waterfalls. The region is also world famous for its birdlife and orchids.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss this unique property.
