Plantation Style, Caribbean feel, Private and Peaceful in Newell

With shutters and louvres, and floating white drapes, there is a Caribbean feel to this Newell beach house

Newell beach is perhaps Port Douglas area's best kept secret. Take this opportunity to become part of a small community, and benefit from sea breezes and the gentle, alluring sound of the sea in the background, and from rural views of horses, cows, and rainforest clad mountain ranges. This beautiful beach house has a Caribbean feel, with plantation shutters and louvres, and white muslin curtains floating in the breeze. It is jam-packed with extras and quality touches.
A major refurbishment has resulted in two independent dual living spaces, one downstairs and one upstairs, both with two bedrooms and totally refurbished bathrooms, including a claw bath downstairs, and a modern bath upstairs, and walk-in showers in each. Both dual living areas have full designer kitchens with SMEG appliances, ideal for an extended or multi-generational family, or live in one area and rent out the other. Barn doors and French doors throughout, and for year-round comfort, airconditioning as well as overhead fans. There are several living and relaxation areas, with 3 metre wide verandahs upstairs, 180 degree views of mountain ranges and fields. Upstairs the gorgeous timber floors consist of polished silky oak and mixed rainforest woods; downstairs, the cool polished concrete is practical for the beachside location. Other features include concealed LED lighting, giving a subtle but effective glow, exposed trusses, freshly painted interiors, new plumbing, wiring, conduits, all to a high standard, and solar panels are installed.
The property is fenced, with 2.1 metre high fences, solar powered gates, with charming salmon-coloured French door gates framed by massive cycads welcoming you to the property. There is a large concreted area, with sail protection, providing room for several cars, or a boat or caravan, and also landscaped garden beds for that tropical vibe.
At the rear of the house is a charming rotunda wreathed with passionfruit vine, as well as numerous fruit trees, and ample room for a swimming pool of your design. Very private, and secure. And for ease of going upstairs, the rear staircase has a new electric chair lift.
Not only is this property close to the beach, but there is also a nearby boat ramp, golf course, and you are minutes from town.
