Sprawling Kanimbla estate hits the market for first time in 30 years with $5 million price tag

One Agency Northern Beaches Cairns has announced the exclusive listing of 50-52 Lake Morris Road in Kanimbla[i], an expansive 4.30-hectare estate offered to the market for the first time in three decades.

With a price guide exceeding $5 million, this exceptional property provides a rare opportunity to secure a generational asset that combines sophisticated architectural design with advanced, future-focused infrastructure.

One of the most significant real estate offerings in Far North Queensland this year, the substantial estate is set against a serene rainforest backdrop and positioned privately behind secure entry gates. With uninterrupted, elevated views stretching across Cairns City to the ocean and Green Island, the property is held on a single title and comprises three separate dwellings, offering a level of versatility rarely seen on this scale.

“The fact that this home hasn’t transacted in more than 30 years speaks to the quality of life on offer here,” said One Agency Northern Beaches Cairns, Lead Sales Agent, Kev Ward.

“With a unique appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking privacy, multi-dwelling flexibility, and world-class views, this is certainly a stand-out property.”

The main residence is purposefully positioned to capture the panoramic outlook from every possible angle. High ceilings and open-plan living zones create a profound sense of volume, while expansive openings draw the outside in, connecting the interior seamlessly to the elevated entertaining area complete with heated pool, spa, and gazebo, all framed by expansive vistas.

Within the home, the premium kitchen balances high-end functionality with aesthetic excellence. It features expansive benchtops, gas cooking, integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a separate butler’s pantry that keeps daily operations practical and discreet.

The expansive and flexible layout allows buyers to comfortably accommodate extended family, establish a private corporate retreat, or explore income potential. The lower-level features multiple living zones that include a large office and media area, perfectly suited for those working from home. The upper level is entirely dedicated to a master retreat, featuring a private kitchenette, walk-in robe, and a spacious bathroom with a freestanding tub overlooking the treetops toward the City and mountain range.

Separate from the main dwelling, a secondary building introduces an entirely different layer of functionality. Currently configured as a flexible studio space on the lower level, it is fully air-conditioned and ideal for a home gym, workshop, or teenager’s retreat. The upper level provides an additional living area with a long balcony that takes full advantage of the elevated coastal outlook.

“With rising energy costs frequently on buyer’s minds, the home comes fully equipped with EV charging capabilities, and a comprehensive solar panel system with battery backup,” said Kev.

Further enhancing the estate’s appeal is a fully self-contained granny flat privately positioned within the rainforest grounds. Complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom, living space, and carport, it provides comfortable, independent accommodation. The nearby seasonal creek and a fully functional walk-in aviary tucked discreetly away from the main entertaining areas, adds a tranquil acoustic backdrop and compliments the overall charm of this unique property.

Kev concludes; “Properties of this scale, calibre, and privacy are seldom offered to the market. The combination of its commanding position, high-quality fixtures and fittings, and multiple living options firmly establishes 50-52 Lake Morris Road as one of the most significant real estate offerings in Far North Queensland this year.”
