PROPERTY agent Raine & Horne are enjoying the fruits of their strategic marketing campaigns and in targeting the high-end trophy homes, the Port Douglas office is celebrating its most recent success and significant sale of the resplendent waterfront residence on seven Wharf Street which went for $6.8 million.

This is among highest sale of a property in Port Douglas in recent times.

Owners Michael and Lou Yates have owned the property for 10 years and have now decided to live in Melbourne. The new owners are Dean and Larah Cook, who are also from Melbourne.

Raine & Horne real estate agent Barbara Wolveridge, who sold the property, said their success in selling high-end properties in Port Douglas is based on their huge data base of buyers which has proven to be a crucial tool.

“We have over time built this data base and it has proven to be vital in our campaigns. Coupled to this, we have marketed ourselves across Australia and parts of the world.

“This has allowed us to be front and centre and people looking for properties in Port Douglas can relate to our name. This has certainly placed us ahead of the pack,” said Ms Wolveridge.

The Wharf Street property is a stunning waterfront private residence cocooned by tropical flora and towering palms. Designed as three pavilions, this trophy home features wide breezeways, deep verandas, and timber decks that epitomize the Tropical North Queensland indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Inspired by plantation-style British West Indies architectural vernacular - cathedral ceilings, open island house plan, columns and louver shutters to maximise the prevailing breezes - this residence sets the stage for a casually elegant style of living.

Strategically positioned advantaging the northerly aspects are unobstructed 180-degree views across the Coral Sea toward the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef Low Islands to the Daintree Rainforest and as far as the eye can see.

Celebrated architect Alex Gencur left no stone unturned in this brilliant masterpiece with meticulous attention to detail and luxurious appointments to the five bedrooms, four bathrooms residence.
