Smithfield

Description of the home

Our spacious timber pole home is private and tranquil, nestled in 2 acres of tropical rainforest. We enjoy wonderful views over Smithfield, Yorkeys and the ocean, which are particularly stunning at sunrise and sunset.

The house itself was designed by local architect Chris Van Dyke and won home of the year in 1996. The tree trunks and open plan give the house has a unique tree-house feel. We are surrounded by various species of birds and butterflies. It's the perfect space for relaxing, reading or studying.

Shared spaces include a spacious and well-equipped kitchen and the adjoining dining area and living room/lounge, which opens out onto the large balcony. We also have an office space downstairs that will be available for you to use during the day. My husband occasionally uses it in the evenings.

There is a grassy area in the back garden with a Pergola. We do have two rescue dogs, Lola (Dalmatian cross 11) and Apollo (Great Dane, 2 years old). Both are very affectionate and friendly. They have their own space on the ground floor and do not share the main living spaces upstairs on level 1.

We are within walking distance of the JCU campus, a short (5 min) drive from Smithfield Shopping Centre and many cafes / restaurants, and within ten minutes of local beaches including Trinity Beach and Yorkeys Knob.

Rooms can come furnished or unfurnished (according to preference).
