The Auction Extravaganza You Do Not Want to Miss!
The Ray Murphy Team proudly presents this outstanding opportunity to secure your very own slice of paradise in the heart of Cow Bay. Positioned on a sprawling 1.16ha allotment, the property offers three defined zones, two separate gated entrances, and multiple income-generating opportunities, all set against the backdrop of the world-renowned Daintree Rainforest.
Main Residence (Upper Level):
The main residence is a two-storey build with provisions for four bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering the foundations of an exceptional retreat. Designed to take advantage of the lush surrounds, the home's layout lends itself to generous open living and entertaining spaces. Renovated interiors provide a strong head start, while the expansive timber deck delivers a breathtaking vantage point over the rainforest - the perfect setting for yoga retreats, long table dinners, or private celebrations. With parking for multiple vehicles, this zone can effortlessly function as a premium holiday villa, a permanent family sanctuary, or a base to operate a boutique retreat.
Caretaker's Cottage (Mid Field Gate):
Tucked away with its own gated entrance and seasonal creek frontage, the self-contained caretaker's cottage offers both charm and practicality. Complete with a bedroom, full kitchen and living area, and bathroom, it provides a ready-made option for staff housing, guests, or rental accommodation. Its versatile footprint makes it equally suited to Airbnb or long-term leasing, with the adjoining shed and workshop offering secure storage or scope for future expansion. The surrounding open field further enhances the potential, whether for caravan parking, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of a private retreat.
Campground / Lower Field (Second Gate):
The lower field introduces another layer of opportunity. Accessed via its own gated entrance, the expansive, level ground is ideal for developing a tourist-focused enterprise. With space to accommodate up to ten caravans, this zone lends itself naturally to a boutique caravan park, glamping experience, or eco-friendly campground. Surrounded by rainforest and set away from the main residence for privacy, it creates a secluded, income-ready setting that will appeal to the ever-growing number of visitors seeking authentic nature-based experiences in the Daintree.
Just three blocks from Cow Bay Beach, the property enjoys a lifestyle like no other - where the rainforest meets the reef. Here you'll find secluded beaches with soft sand and turquoise waters, tranquil coves perfect for swimming, fishing or exploring, and walking trails that weave through lush rainforest alive with cassowaries, butterflies and native birdlife. The nearby Daintree Discovery Centre offers a chance to experience the rainforest from elevated boardwalks, while local cafés, galleries and the popular tropical ice creameries provide a welcoming community feel. With recent roadworks now complete, residents and visitors benefit from smooth, all-weather access into the Daintree.
Offering two separate gated entrances, three distinct zones, and multiple avenues for income, the property is suited to yoga retreats, holiday rentals, a caretaker's cottage, glamping, or a caravan park - all viable options ready to scale. Whether you dream of a tropical escape to enjoy with family and friends, a permanent home, or a rainforest getaway with potential as an Airbnb, this is your chance to create something truly special in one of Far North Queensland's most breathtaking locations.
