100 Pinnacle Pocket Road, East Barron, Qld 4883

"Folly Farm" blends peace, privacy, and breathtaking vistas, while being close to the quaint village of Yungaburra. The property is rich in history and comprises three separately titled residences, each with a beautiful outlook. Sweeping views encompass Lake Tinaroo, forests, pastoral land, mountain ranges and the Seven Sisters pinnacles. 

Nestled into a north-facing hillside sits an elegant Colonial style home.  Sunlight enhances waxed brush box floors and VJ walls, while cedar French doors and windows frame spectacular views. There is a generous lounge-dining area with an open fireplace, and a modern maple timber kitchen with premium appliances. The laundry doubles as a butler's pantry, with a second dishwasher and full-size wine fridge. There are four bedrooms, each with views, and two bathrooms. Spotted gum verandas, ideal for sitting and dining, lead down wide steps to the gardens and fruit trees.

The original house, an expanded former 1915 schoolhouse, faces northeast with breathtaking views of Tinaroo Dam, timber cattle yards and a small property dam. Tucked away from the elements the house is shielded from the summer heat by one of the pinnacles, while during the winter months abundant sunlight streams through the large picture windows. Traditional touches include waxed Johnson-river hardwood floors, VJ timber walls and period stained glass. A cosy living-dining area features a large open fireplace adding warmth and ambience to chilly winter evenings. A sizable timber deck off the country kitchen is a perfect entertaining space throughout the summer months. The kitchen has its own intimate sitting and dining area while the three large bedrooms, including two with ensuites, and a separate study make this house a perfect home. 

The third house "McLeod's Cottage" is a charming three bedroom, one bathroom traditional Queenslander. It is built of silky oak and was relocated from Cairns some years ago. 

Farm infrastructure includes a four-bay machinery shed, and a large barn adjacent to the cattle yards and loading ramp. There are four large holding tanks for water.

The farm is just 4 kms from picturesque Yungaburra, a village which hosts a vibrant mix of cafés, restaurants, a historic hotel, and a famous monthly market. You can cycle the popular Seven Sisters Trail, swim in Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine or hike the scenic Mount Baldy and Mount Yabi. Further afield experience the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. 

The city of Cairns is one hour away with an international airport, a university, and excellent medical services.  Cairns offers quality shopping, dining, entertainment and easy access to the reef.
