'San Souci' at Lot 1 Old Port Douglas is an idyllic Queenslander built in 1905 largely from silky oak. The home oozes authentic charm and retains the traditional character features so sought-after in a property of this kind - high ceilings (approx. 12 feet), polished timber floors, louvers, fretwork, wide wrap-around verandas, french doors and timber casement windows throughout. Effortlessly flowing from indoors to out, step out onto the rear entertaining deck and enjoy the private, wet-edge swimming pool (heated for the winter months). Award winning tropical landscaping surrounds the home and creates an incredibly tranquil setting. The property holds the accolade of Best Professional Garden Award at the 2017 Douglas Garden Awards presented by ABC's Gardening Australia Costa Georgiadis and the local Mayor. The garden was heralded for "Great use of flowing space and plant selection. Beautiful combinations of natives. Amazing display of tree ferns and screening plants such as the Indian Mast Tree." The master bedroom has en-suite bathroom with full-size bathtub and separate shower, the remaining two bedrooms share a second spacious bathroom with shower and toilet. Just a short stroll from popular Four Mile Beach, the Four Mile shops, IGA supermarket and the Wildlife Habitat. Also, just across from the property is the Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course, with Tennis Court, Gymnasium, Lap Pool and restaurant. The heart of cosmopolitan Port Douglas is a 5 minute drive away. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Port Douglas' most unique and admired properties.
