Your Own Far North Queensland Bloomfield Escape
A peaceful retreat, a blank canvas and an affordable slice of the Bloomfield Valley.
Set on a generous 7,361m² (approx. 1.82 acres) in the friendly rural community of Degarra, 31 Banabilla Road offers a rare opportunity to secure your own Far North Queensland getaway, with plenty of room to relax, recreate and enjoy the great outdoors.
At the heart of the property is a tidy new steel-built one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence, thoughtfully designed as a comfortable retreat for a couple or solo owner. The home features an open-plan lounge and kitchen area (kitchen needed), a private bedroom, bathroom and a lovely deck overlooking the surrounding landscape — the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, unwind in the afternoon or simply take in the peaceful surroundings.
High Ground – Away from Future River Flooding
Importantly, the residence has been positioned on high ground, well away from the river and the areas most susceptible to future river flooding. It offers the peace of mind of having your retreat elevated above the surrounding landscape while still being close to some of the region’s most beautiful waterways.
The property has a Douglas Shire Council-approved residence, with septic and bore water already in place. All electrical and plumbing works have been professionally installed, providing a solid foundation for the new owner to complete the final touches.
The home is currently at lock-up stage internally and requires internal lining and finishing, allowing the new owner to put their own touch on the interior. Bathroom shower and tapware is already on site and ready for installation.
Your Gateway to the Reef & Rainforest
For lovers of the outdoors, the location is hard to beat. You’re within easy reach of the Woobada River and Bloomfield River, with a public boat ramp approximately 1km down the road — ideal for fishing, boating the nearby Great Barrier Reef, swimming, exploring or simply enjoying the extraordinary natural environment of the Bloomfield Valley.
A new driveway is scheduled for installation in October, further improving access to the property.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful weekender, fishing base, recreation retreat or permanent home, 31 Banabilla Road provides an opportunity to escape the crowds and enjoy a more relaxed Far North Queensland lifestyle.
The current owner is unfortunately having to move closer to medical services, creating the opportunity for someone else to take over this little piece of Degarra paradise.
