778 Seamark Road, Jaggan, Qld 4885

Barne's Pikle Nature Refuge is a private sanctuary located at 778 Seamark Road, Jaggan, a short drive through the picturesque country side and green rolling hills of Tarzali & Jaggan.

This stunning 159 acres is a wildlife sanctuary, having an agreement with the Queensland Government since 1988, protecting the wildlife habitat in perpetuity. The area around the house (approx 1 hectare) is excluded from the nature refuge with opportunities for future sustainable development. The sanctuary is home to many creatures great & small and a complex Notophyll Vine Forest consisting of part of the largest freehold rainforest remnant existing on the Atherton Tablelands.

Barne's Pikle Nature Refuge is habitat for at least 15 rare plants and 10 rare and threatened animals including the endangered Southern Cassowary, and Lemuroid Ringtail Possum  and the rare Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroo. Thirteen species of birds endemic to the Queensland Wet Tropics region, including the Golden and Tooth-Billed Bowerbirds, are known to breed on the property.

The flow of water and the song of birds echoes through the rainforest and can be heard from every room of the magnificent pole home nestled into the forest. Molo Creek is accessible and within walking distance from the beautiful Jon Nott pole home, built in 1987, featuring many timber species, high ceilings and lots of glass to admire the magnificent outlook. The feathered friends frequently fly in and out of the house and are known to demand your attention when you're sitting on the huge timber deck, they are a part of the family and indeed an incredible sight.
