3 Nirvana is arguably the pick of this tightly held complex of eight, positioned at the end of a quiet cul de sac on Little Reef Street, one of only two villas with a front-row address on the Four Mile Beach foreshore reserve. With a lock-up garage, several covered outdoor spaces, and upgrades throughout finished with real style and care, this is a property that stands apart from anything else in the complex and anything at this price point in Port Douglas.
Nirvana was architecturally designed around the tropical environment, and it shows. The trade winds enter through strategically placed side louvre windows, recently upgraded to misted glass for privacy and security without sacrificing airflow, and travel through the property before rising through the impressive double-height vaulted ceiling and escaping via a second layer of louvre windows set into the dual roof line above. The result is a naturally tempered interior that rivals even the most prestigious properties in Port Douglas. The bedrooms face the foreshore reserve, drawing in the crisp salt air directly off Four Mile Beach. Air conditioning here is a luxury, not a necessity.
The soaring vaulted ceiling gives the main living space a genuine sense of grandeur, with a double-storey wall of glass flooding the room with natural light and looking directly onto the tropical lagoon-style pool and lush gardens below. A generous mezzanine landing overlooks the lounge, offering a second reception space for relaxation or entertaining.
On the ground floor, a spacious bedroom, serviced by an equally spacious separate shower room, opens to a roofed side terrace, a private and sheltered outdoor retreat. Upstairs, two further bedrooms open onto an enlarged upper deck spanning the full width of the villa and projecting twice the depth of any other in the complex, sitting above both carports and looking out over the gorgeous mature tree line and coastal nature strip beyond. Properly roofed and lined with bamboo, it is a considered and versatile space in all weather, fitted with its own sink and accessed via a staircase leading directly down to the kitchen.
Upgraded throughout with a discerning eye. Upstairs, the bathroom has been modernised to an exceptionally high standard, spacious, sleek and finished with real class. Downstairs, the original marble character of the bathroom has been carefully preserved, with considered upgrades that respect what was already there. The kitchen has been freshly repainted and feels as good as new, complete with a second separate sink, a small but inspired touch that any busy family will appreciate.
The children's bedroom in its current arrangement, complete with a built-in mezzanine level, is a masterstroke of creativity that needs to be seen to be believed.
Practical upgrades complete the picture. The covered carport sits directly beside the kitchen entrance, making the daily unload effortless. Across the driveway, a lock-up garage adds storage, security and versatility that is rare in villa complexes anywhere in Port Douglas. Solar panels on the roof keep running costs down year round (x30 13.2kW panels 440W with Tygo optimisers, Sungrow Inverter and 16kw Battery).
Nirvana, a state of perfect peace and happiness. A fitting name to the lush tropical gardens, lagoon pool with waterfall feature, elevated sun loungers, and the close connection to the nature that wraps the complex. Over $300,000 has been reinvested into the complex over the past five years, covering roofs, balconies, gardens, irrigation and pool equipment. The sinking fund sits at a healthy $98,519.46, the body corporate is well managed, and the committee works cohesively. The heavy lifting is done. Further detail is provided overleaf.
The location needs little introduction. Bruno Reidwig Park sits directly opposite, Four Mile Beach is 200 metres across the nature reserve, and the Four Mile Shopping Arcade, local taverns, restaurants, St Crispin's Café and the off-leash dog park are all within a short stroll. Port Douglas State School, the IGA, the marina, Macrossan Street and the Flagstaff Hill walking trail are all within easy reach.
Zoned Low-Medium Density Residential and offered with vacant possession, 3 Nirvana suits a permanent residence, long-term rental or holiday let, on one of the finest streets in Far North Queensland. Furnishings available by negotiation.
