38 Eagle Close, Bonnie Doon, QLD 4873

10 minutes outside Port Douglas, "Jade Ridge" offers semi rural living with convenience at its doorstep. Built into the side of a mountain, this elevated property boasts one of the greatest positions to enjoy the sun rising over the Coral Sea. And, at less than 2km away, its views of the ocean are in foreground of the experience it offers. Designed by the famed Chris Van Dyke, the property offers palatial living on a grand scale, with 600m? under-roof and is positioned on a very manageable 3,000 m? lot.

From the groundwork to the rooftop, no expense has been spared in the construction of this magnificent home. Sculpted into the face of the mountain, with core-filled block, aluminum framed doors and windows, and double thickness glazing, this property stands like a fortress against the natural elements. This has been softened by elegant choices in materials. Most impressive are the Spotted Gum pillars, beams and staircases, a signature in Chris Van Dyke designs. Mango wood and American Oak, used in much of the carpentry, brings a feeling of warmth and class, whilst the use of New Guinea Rosewood, Black Galaxy Granite and Matrix Granite epitomizes the superior quality of the build.

Built for entertainment and at the heart of this home, the covered veranda spans an area large enough to host an entire family; or as it's famed for locally, hosting wedding parties of up to 120 guests. The Spotted Gum pillars frame the region's stunning natural beauty, with views that stretch beyond Port Douglas' Peninsula, Low Isles and Snapper Island and out to the Coral Sea. This expansive area connects seamlessly to the living area and wet bar through bi-folding doors, to the bedrooms via double patio doors, and to the tropical gardens via an area of sloping lawn. Wired through the residence, a Bose entertainment system provides an immersive audio experience for every room to share in the spirit of celebration, whilst the Mango top bar keeps the drinks flowing.

The residence offers spacious accommodation across two floors, including three bedrooms on the first floor, and a self-contained studio/granny annexe, along with an additional bedroom on the ground floor. The master suite is a sanctuary of luxury with a double shower, featuring bi-folding windows, dual sinks set upon a solid American Oak vanity, and a large walk-in wardrobe. The main bathroom features an Englefield spa bath set within Matrix Granite, and matching vanity. The second bedroom enjoys a secluded private terrace, while the third bedroom boasts New Guinea Rosewood wardrobes and an en suite with a glass vanity and custom etched windows.

The low-maintenance tropical gardens attract an abundance of wildlife, from Cairns Birdwing and Ulysses Butterflies, to Honeyeaters and Sunbirds. Basking in the sun and offering a serene retreat for relaxation, the Magnesium swimming pool enjoys seating, and a custom pearl-mosaic lotus leaf design at its centre. The property boasts ample storage space (which could be utilised to create 2 additional rooms), a separate laundry room, and covered parking. Further benefits include the 6Kw Solar Power, and there's an area of approximately 400m? which could be developed to provide a large shed, boat/caravan-port, office space or caretaker's residence.

Whether you seek a serene holiday home or a permanent residence, this property promises an unparalleled lifestyle of elegance, privacy, and entertainment.
