"Sanctuary",163 Rykers Road, Cape Tribulation, Daintree, Qld 4873

The owner is motivated to sell and has reduced the price of this iconic property to attract new interest.

Showcasing the very best of Far North Queensland's natural beauty with exclusive, elevated and breathtaking views of Cape Tribulation, the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, this Chris Van Dyke property provides a Rainforest getaway unlike anything before it.

Relaxing on the vast deck, Mackay Cay and Undine Cay can be seen in the distance, while the vibrant butterflies and bird life meander through the thick rainforest in the foreground. Positioned to capture the easterly breeze, with louvre windows, high ceilings and double roof line, this impressive home harnesses the elements to provide a bright and airy climate, to enjoy its natural surroundings to the fullest. There's an air of romance to the choice of materials used throughout, from Cypress Pine flooring, to timber cladding and a Venetian style wall finish. The spacious master suite comes complete with ocean views, a large walk-in closet and en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms, also with a forward aspect, enjoy ocean views, and the smallest bedroom, to the side, enjoys views of the rainforest. There's a laundry room and covered parking for several vehicles conveniently positioned below the main residence, and a private and substantial caretaker's hut in the privacy of its own clearing at the bottom of the lot.

The property has been kept immaculately presented, and well maintained by the current caretakers. Upgrades to the home include a new roof and guttering in 2021, along with 12x new solar panels and battery system, a new petrol generator and 2x 22,000 litre water tanks drawing freshwater from a nearby creek.

The adjacent 23.99 ha property at 129 Rykers Road, of the same owner, is also offered for sale.
