16 Nelson Road, Babinda QLD 4861

A unique lifestyle property where rainforest timber, Chillagoe marble and granite combine to create a home unlike any other.

Welcome to “Woodstone”, a truly distinctive property expertly crafted by the previous owner who was a master craftsman of his trade.

Set amongst 4.2 acres of established tropical gardens, Woodstone is a celebration of craftsmanship, natural materials, history and lifestyle. Stunning rainforest timberwork is beautifully complemented by Chillagoe marble tiles, granite benchtops, glass features and carefully considered touches of colour throughout.

This is far more than a home — Woodstone is a work of art and a tribute to the past.

A spring-fed seasonal creek meanders through the property for much of the year, creating a tranquil natural setting. A bridge crosses the creek to a more elevated grassy area, while the property's natural grass amphitheatre provides a spectacular setting for weddings, intimate concerts, celebrations and other events, subject to Council approval.

A Property Steeped in History
Woodstone has a fascinating history. The property has previously hosted Traditional dances and bush tucker tours, adding another layer of cultural and historical significance to this remarkable holding.

The property was also previously zoned Commercial, and includes an enormous 8-bay open powered shed that was formerly used for the manufacture of artefacts and award-winning shoes.

With substantial space, three-phase power and a heavy-duty concrete slab, the shed offers enormous versatility and could appeal to those looking for space for a workshop, home-based business, nursery, orchid collection, storage or recreational pursuits, subject to relevant approvals.

There is room here to pursue your passions, operate a business and store all your favourite toys.

A Home Designed Around Privacy
The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged, with bedrooms separated throughout the property — ideal for extended families, teenagers, guests or those simply wanting their own private retreat.

The parents' retreat is connected to the main residence by covered walkways and accessed via a two-car carport. Spacious and beautifully appointed, it features an ensuite, large walk-in robe and exquisite timber and stone detailing.

Adjacent to the retreat is a large internal laundry, together with a generous sitting area/breezeway.

Two separate toilets and a shower are also located off the side of the main residence and are connected via a covered walkway.

A Grand Central Living Space
Step inside the massive living and dining room and prepare to be impressed.

Soaring pitched ceilings, extensive timber craftsmanship and timber-framed glass doors create a wonderful sense of space while allowing the surrounding gardens and outdoor areas to become part of the home.

Multiple doors open onto various outdoor spaces, making entertaining and relaxed tropical living effortless.

A separate study/office features a built-in desk. With the desk removed, this space could potentially be transformed into a fourth bedroom, subject to suitability and any required approvals.

Kitchen & Entertaining
The kitchen and adjoining sitting room provide additional spaces to relax and entertain.

The kitchen features:
- Granite benchtops
- SMEG rangehood
- Four-burner gas cooktop
- Electric oven
- Servery window opening to the private deck
- Garden outlook

Office nook adjoining the kitchen/dining area

Three Distinct Bedrooms
Bedroom 2 — “The Garden Room”

Enjoy beautiful garden outlooks from this character-filled bedroom, which continues the property's artistic theme with more striking artwork and a recessed feature designed to accommodate the bed.

Bedroom 3

Located on the opposite side of the dining area, this bedroom is accessed through its own dressing room, providing an additional sense of privacy and separation.

Combined with the parents' retreat and potential fourth bedroom/study, the layout provides exceptional flexibility for families and guests.

A Tropical Garden & Edible Landscape
