If it is a glorious beachfront estate you have been looking for, then there really is no need to look any further than the sumptuous home at 59-61 Wonga Beach Road in Far North Queensland.
This luxurious and expansive opportunity offers unrivaled beach frontage with private access and is heading to auction in October.
“My wife and I have five children, 15 grandchildren and three great grandchildren, but with a home this big, having a large family really is no problem,” said owner Larry Wilson.
“We’ve got eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. But when the younger kids come to stay, we put foam mattresses up in the (200sq m*) rumpus room, and they all sleep and play together there.
“There’s a superb as-good-as-new pool table, dart board and all sorts of things. They love it here - mind you - as soon as they get hungry they appear back in the main house quickly.
“One of the key things to this estate is the two, two-bedroom units that are separate from the main house, they’re fantastic and offer great accommodation for visiting friends and family.
“The beach is right here. It’s a long sandy beach and stands out from the other beaches around here that just have rocks. It’s great access if you have jet skis like we do.
“For the green thumb, there are hundreds of different plants here. The block is 6000sq m* so there’s space for them. My wife looks after the garden and she works on it every day.”
Mr Wilson said the location was another key drawcard and the fact the property offered 100 per cent privacy would really appeal to buyers.
“One side is beach, and the other side has two borders that you can’t see from here, and they're bitumen roads. It’s like an island,” he said.
“You walk through the bush here, and you walk under 100-year-old trees, I fell in love with them first, I think. The palm trees around the property are at least 40-foot high.
“It’s only an hour’s drive to Cairns – but it’s the most beautiful drive along the coast.
“They call this place ‘Tropicool’ – tropical minus the extreme heat. The bird life is fantastic and the fishing isn’t far behind either.
“This estate will appeal to younger buyers so they can get years and years of use out of it. The two extra units also offer a potential extra income stream with Airbnb.”
Ray White Port Douglas Sales Agent Mark Flinn said the property was more than a house, it was an estate, and offered many options for investors or lifestyle buyers.
“Set over 6,300sq m* of land and boasting 120 metres* of absolute beach frontage, the main property is bordered by quality hardwood fencing, and from the front you look through coastal rainforest and palm trees through to the Coral Sea,” Mr Flinn said.
“Wonga Beach is an amazing white sandy beach with views from the Daintree River mouth through to Snapper Island, Low Isles, Port Douglas and beyond.
“The property includes the master built main house set over 595sq m* with four bedrooms, all facing the ocean with patios.
“You then have the two two-bedroom self-contained guest houses and patios and an eight-car garage with office or workshop.
“Add in the substantial solar power system/generator, resort-style pool and the award-winning immaculate tropical irrigated gardens with night lighting throughout, and you have a winner.”
The auction will take place on site on Saturday 12 October 2019 at 10:00am.
