About the Property

Set approximately 800 metres above sea level in the Tropical Atherton Tablelands, this exceptional rural property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, productive land and self-sufficient living.

Positioned at the end of Ellinjaa Road with no close neighbours, the property provides a peaceful private sanctuary surrounded by some of Far North Queensland's most spectacular landscapes.

From the highest point of the property, there are spectacular views towards the surrounding mountains, the Tablelands and the Great Dividing Range.

The elevation also provides a naturally cooler climate, with the property benefiting from the area's high-altitude environment.

The Land & Natural Environment

The property extends across approximately 64.75 hectares, with around 70% of the land cleared and the remainder consisting of regrowth and original rainforest.

It is surrounded by National Park on two sides, creating an exceptional natural setting with abundant wildlife and a strong sense of privacy.

The surrounding region is renowned for its waterfalls, rainforest and natural attractions, with numerous waterfalls located nearby.

The land is capable of supporting approximately 60 head of cattle, providing genuine agricultural potential alongside the property's lifestyle appeal.

Chemical-Free Land

The property has been managed without chemical fertilisers or chemical sprays for approximately 40 years.

This long-term approach has allowed the land to develop as a diverse natural and productive environment, with established vegetation, rainforest areas and fruit-producing trees.

Fruit Trees & Food Production

The property already supports a range of established tropical and subtropical fruit trees and crops, including:

• Bananas

• Pawpaw

• Passion fruit

• Citrus

• Avocado

• Mulberry

Combined with the large amount of cleared land, this provides plenty of potential for further food production, orchards, gardens or agricultural development.

Water & Self-Sufficiency

Water is supplied by a spring-fed dam located just below the house, providing an important and reliable source for the property.

The spring is reported to flow year-round without drying up, while the dam provides habitat for platypus, turtles and abundant birdlife.

The water system includes a solar-powered pump, adding to the property's self-sufficient infrastructure.

Drinking water is supplied by rainwater tanks

The Home

The substantial main residence was built by a German master builder, with much of the timber used in construction sourced directly from the property.

Positioned on the highest point of the land, the house takes full advantage of the surrounding views and elevated setting.

The home has been built to a high storm-rating standard, providing additional resilience in the tropical climate.

The property offers:

• 4 bedrooms

• 3 bathrooms

• Approximately 640m² of living/building space

• Mains electricity

• Elevated position

• Extensive parking

There is currently parking for four vehicles, with plenty of room available for further expansion.

Privacy & Location

One of the defining characteristics of this property is its privacy.

Situated at the end of Ellinjaa Road, with no close neighbours and National Park bordering two sides, it offers a rare level of seclusion while still being within the wider Atherton Tablelands region.

The surrounding area provides access to spectacular rainforest, waterfalls, mountains and the many natural attractions for which the Tablelands are known.

A Unique Rural Lifestyle

This is a property that combines agriculture, rainforest, abundant water and private rural living on an impressive scale.

With almost 65 hectares of land, productive cleared areas, original rainforest, established fruit trees, cattle potential, a year-round spring-fed water source and a substantial home, it offers an exceptional opportunity for someone looking for a private rural base in Far North Queensland.
