This property is an incredible opportunity for someone looking to establish a guest house or bed and breakfast business in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest at Cape Tribulation.

Here's a breakdown of the main highlights and potential of the property:
Property Overview:
Location: Situated on a 4-acre lot in the Daintree Rainforest, at Cape Tribulation, offering an idyllic and peaceful environment for guests to relax and unwind.
Houses: Three separate homes on the property:
1. Two Identical Guest Homes:
Steel frame, Colorbond clad, 2-bedroom homes.
Open-plan living areas with lounge, dining, and kitchen space.
Modern bathrooms.
Each home has an undercover carport and front patio overlooking garden areas.
Ideal for guest accommodation.
2. Main House:
Spacious 4-bedroom home with an open living area.
High-pitched ceilings, making the space feel airy and light.
Master bedroom with ensuite.
Additional loft area and entry that could be turned into more bedrooms or an office.

Additional Structures:
o Steel-Built Lockup Shed and Workshop: Suitable for storage or workshop space.
o Caretaker Accommodation: A shipping container with permanent steel frame awnings could be easily transformed into caretaker accommodation.
Infrastructure and Utilities:
Off-Grid Setup: The property is fully off-grid, powered by a central solar power system with a backup generator. This includes a roof-mounted solar array, twin regulators, and twin inverters. o Power: Impressive solar setup ensures reliable power supply, although the batteries are nearing the end of their lifespan (replacement cost of batteries is approximately $12k).
Water: Rainwater is collected on the roof and stored in two large tanks, providing enough water for the whole property. Daintree rainwater is pure and delicious, making it ideal for guest use.
Business Potential:
This property offers the ideal setting to develop a unique and immersive guest experience in one of the world's oldest rainforests. The combination of multiple homes allows for private accommodation options, while the off-grid lifestyle provides guests with an eco-friendly and sustainable experience.
Opportunities for Development:
Guest House/B&B Business: With some renovations and personalization, the two identical guest homes could be tailored for a successful bed-and-breakfast or eco-lodge business. Caretaker or Manager Accommodation: The secondary accommodation could serve as a base for a property manager or caretaker. Maintenance and Upgrades: The main house and potentially the guest homes could benefit from some interior updates, painting, and finishing touches to give them a fresh and welcoming feel for future guests.
Attraction Potential:
The rainforest setting, private creek, and natural beauty of the area make it a perfect location for guests seeking an escape into nature, wildlife enthusiasts, or eco-tourists. With its off-grid setup, the property also caters to those interested in sustainable living and eco-friendly tourism.
This property is already set up with the basics to create a thriving business, but with the right vision and investment, it could transform into a highly sought-after destination in the Daintree region.
