Award-winning masterpiece
BUTLERSPRIDE is what they call this property, but maybe it should be called: “Butlers – truly one of the great, beautiful tropical gardens of the world – Pride”.
Imagine owning a piece of a freshwater creek flowing beneath an open aired gazebo, surrounded by tropical rainforest, towering over personal walking tracks lined with flora and fauna, which open up onto vast manicured lawns that are positioned to showcase the main act – multiple-award winning and international acclaimed tropical gardens.
This Australian “Grand Champion” garden of the year winner is undoubtably one of the nation’s finest, worthy of the adulation it has received.
Boasting blooming foliage that would make any novice gardener weak at the knees, Butlerspride provides every aspect of what living in tropical North Queensland is all about. And now, for the very first time, it is being offered to the market.
It’s most unique aspect is the gazebo, positioned only a few meters from the home, directly above Mirriwinni Creek, capturing the mesmerising sound of flowing water and the shimmering beams of sunlight that protrude through the dense canopy.
The home is certainly not lost among such a sensational landscape.
Featuring open plan living, providing excellent air flow and natural light, glorious garden views from every bedroom which boast large built-in wardrobes, and a large ensuite off the main bedroom.
Vast amounts of storage space are a feature, along with a well-hidden and stunning ‘island’ kitchen with open servery windows, day beds, solid brick foundation, it is tiled throughout, has beautiful wooden finishings, is fully airconditioned and to top it off, there is an outdoor entertainment area in addition to the gazebo.
Agent Eric Ball from RE/MAX Real Estate Cairns said the property will be auctioned on April 28.
“This once in a lifetime property has to be seen to be believed, the minute you drive onto the very first patch of this carefully planned hand made masterpiece your breath is literally taken away.
“From then on your mind gets lost in the boundless beauty everywhere you look,” Mr Ball said. The property, at 129 Upham Rd, Mirriwinni, will be open for inspection this Sunday from 2pm-4.30pm.
