120 Davis Road, Garradunga, QLD 4860

What​ ​You​ ​See:
What​ ​you​ ​see​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Far​ ​North​ ​Queensland's​ ​most​ ​remarkable​ ​lowland​ ​coastal​ ​rainforest​ ​holdings​ ​-​ ​a​ ​79.79​ ​acre​ ​parcel​ ​in​ ​the​ ​tightly​ ​held​ ​surrounds​ ​of​ ​Garradunga,​ ​offering​ ​a​ ​rare​ ​blend​ ​of​ ​lifestyle,​ ​history​ ​and​ ​untouched​ ​natural​ ​beauty.​ ​Held​ ​within​ ​the​ ​same​ ​family​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​40​ ​years,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​property​ ​defined​ ​by​ ​legacy,​ ​landscape​ ​and​ ​time.
Originally​ ​known​ ​locally​ ​as​ ​the​ ​"Australian​ ​Insect​ ​Farm",​ ​the​ ​land​ ​holds​ ​a​ ​unique​ ​ecological​ ​significance,​ ​with​ ​native,​ ​geo-specific​ ​insect​ ​life​ ​found​ ​only​ ​to​ ​this​ ​region.​ ​The​ ​property​ ​remains​ ​deeply​ ​connected​ ​to​ ​nature,​ ​with​ ​cassowaries,​ ​birdlife​ ​and​ ​rainforest​ ​species​ ​moving​ ​freely​ ​through​ ​the​ ​landscape.
The​ ​terrain​ ​unfolds​ ​through​ ​rainforest​ ​pockets,​ ​open​ ​clearings​ ​and​ ​original​ ​logging​ ​trails​ ​that​ ​still​ ​connect​ ​the​ ​property​ ​today.​ ​One​ ​of​ ​these​ ​trails​ ​leads​ ​to​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​point,​ ​sitting​ ​approximately​ ​300ft​ ​above​ ​sea​ ​level,​ ​where​ ​sweeping​ ​views​ ​stretch​ ​across​ ​the​ ​countryside​ ​toward​ ​Innisfail​ ​and​ ​the​ ​iconic​ ​Garradunga​ ​Pub.
Water​ ​is​ ​a​ ​defining​ ​feature​ ​of​ ​the​ ​property,​ ​with​ ​three​ ​creeks​ ​including​ ​a​ ​main​ ​system​ ​feeding​ ​into​ ​Polly​ ​Creek.​ ​These​ ​natural​ ​watercourses​ ​are​ ​supported​ ​by​ ​rainwater​ ​tanks,​ ​pump​ ​infrastructure​ ​and​ ​a​ ​man-made​ ​dam.​ ​Two​ ​dwellings​ ​are​ ​positioned​ ​across​ ​the​ ​land,​ ​including​ ​an​ ​upper​ ​home​ ​currently​ ​tenanted,​ ​each​ ​enjoying​ ​complete​ ​privacy​ ​within​ ​the​ ​natural​ ​surrounds.
Timber​ ​species​ ​including​ ​Red​ ​Oak,​ ​Johnson​ ​River​ ​and​ ​Black​ ​Wattle​ ​are​ ​present​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​property,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​history​ ​of​ ​selective​ ​harvesting​ ​undertaken​ ​without​ ​clear-felling.

What​ ​We​ ​See:
We​ ​see​ ​a​ ​rare​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​secure​ ​a​ ​significant​ ​landholding​ ​that​ ​offers​ ​scale,​ ​privacy​ ​and​ ​long-term​ ​potential​ ​in​ ​equal​ ​measure.
This​ ​is​ ​a​ ​property​ ​that​ ​can​ ​remain​ ​a​ ​private​ ​family​ ​sanctuary​ ​immersed​ ​in​ ​nature,​ ​or​ ​evolve​ ​into​ ​something​ ​more.​ ​With​ ​existing​ ​dwellings,​ ​water​ ​systems,​ ​elevation​ ​and​ ​natural​ ​resources​ ​already​ ​in​ ​place,​ ​it​ ​offers​ ​flexibility​ ​for​ ​multi-generational​ ​living,​ ​continued​ ​tenancy,​ ​lifestyle​ ​use​ ​or​ ​eco-style​ ​accommodation​ ​and​ ​cabins​ ​(STCA).
There​ ​is​ ​also​ ​scope​ ​to​ ​explore​ ​conservation-based​ ​arrangements​ ​that​ ​may​ ​provide​ ​council​ ​rate​ ​benefits​ ​while​ ​preserving​ ​the​ ​environmental​ ​integrity​ ​and​ ​natural​ ​character​ ​of​ ​the​ ​land.
Opportunities​ ​of​ ​this​ ​scale,​ ​privacy​ ​and​ ​natural​ ​richness​ ​are​ ​becoming​ ​increasingly​ ​rare​ ​within​ ​the​ ​Garradunga​ ​lowland​ ​coastal​ ​rainforest.
