Poised at the pinnacle of Port Douglas on prestigious Island Point Road, The Glasshouse is a once-in-a-lifetime property that combines elevated architecture, rare privacy, and sweeping views across the rainforest-clad mountains of the Daintree and the Coral Sea. Tucked within its own private forest canopy, yet just a five-minute stroll from the marina, Four Mile Beach, and the culinary heartbeat of Macrossan Street, this is a residence without compromise-where serenity and lifestyle meet.
Where Serenity Meets the Sea
From every room and every outdoor space, The Glasshouse invites you to disconnect-from the world, the noise, the rush. The home is completely encircled by tropical rainforest, with no neighbours in sight. Views extend across the treetops to the inlet where yachts drift into the Port Douglas marina, the rolling mountains of the Daintree Rainforest, and the glittering Coral Sea beyond. The soundscape is birdsong and breeze. The mood: peaceful, meditative, effortless.
Step outside your gate and you're moments from it all. Take a short forest trail down to Four Mile Beach. Walk to your yacht at the marina. Enjoy dinner at one of Queensland's most acclaimed restaurants. Or drive just 30 minutes to Mossman Gorge for a day immersed in nature. Whether you seek solitude or socialising, this home gives you both-with nothing in between.
A Lifestyle Estate, Ready to Enjoy
Originally listed with an asking price above $7 million, the property is now offered through Expressions of Interest, closing 1 May 2025, with offers sought over $5.3 million (unfurnished). This is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property of scale, privacy and quality-without the wait, risk, or rising costs of building from scratch.
This is a home that's ready today. Fully automated and digitally integrated, The Glasshouse is controlled entirely from your smartphone-from the pool chiller and heater to the security system, lighting, garden irrigation and sculptural entry gates. Whether you're in Paris, New York or Sydney, you can manage every aspect of your home with a tap. It's a residence built for global living, yet deeply rooted in nature.
Minimalist Architecture, Infinite Possibility
The house itself is a masterclass in restrained luxury. The white-on-white palette was designed as a calm canvas for the extraordinary natural surrounds. High ceilings and walls of glass blur the line between inside and out, while offering space for personalisation and transformation.
Furnishings by Italian master Sergio Villa Mobilitaly-handmade and hand-painted to reflect the tones of the forest-are available by negotiation. Elegant Murano glass lighting and designer finishes throughout add a subtle layer of refinement. Yet with the furnishings removed, the home becomes a true blank slate, ready for your own design story to unfold.
Landscaped by Nature, Curated by Vision
Set on an elevated rainforest block, the estate features more than 1,500 hand-selected tropical plantings, including hundreds of orchids. A smart irrigation and fertilisation system ensures lush, effortless upkeep. The gardens are wild, immersive, and intentionally unmanicured-designed to feel like an extension of the Daintree itself.
An Estate Unlike Any Other
Whether as a permanent retreat, luxury holiday home, or legacy investment, The Glasshouse offers a rare trifecta: architectural integrity, unmatched location, and seamless lifestyle access. For the high-net-worth buyer seeking true escape without isolation-and privacy without remoteness-this is the answer.
This is not just a home. It's a rainforest estate in the sky. It's walkable luxury with a world-class view. It's the kind of peace you cannot build-it has to be found.
