Lifestyle: The property is located in the hills just behind the city of Cairns, 1,200 feet above sea level. A safe, friendly rural community, a great place to live with clean fresh air and water. It's a one of a kind piece of paradise. We have the best of both worlds with the cooler highland climate and easy access to Cairns, the tropical beaches, the Great Barrier Reef and islands. Lake Tinaroo is close by and great for waterskiing and fishing and camping, and the natural beauty of the Tablelands, Port Douglas and The Daintree are within easy traveling distance. This is a lovely, private and secluded piece of land that is close to everything. The Tablelands is a tourist and farming region that produces an abundant variety of fruit & vegetables, wines and coffee.
