NESTLED in elevated living where the lush rainforest meets the energy of Cairns’ southside, the re-introduction of Rainforest Edge Estate offers something increasingly rare: a life of calm, beauty and connection, without compromise.
Tucked into the western side of Mount Sheridan, this boutique community-minded estate is designed for discerning professionals, couples or families alike who want their home to feel like a sanctuary, while still keeping everyday life beautifully within reach.
Imagine waking to birdsong, filtered light through the trees and the quiet confidence of knowing schools, shops, cafés and sporting facilities are just minutes away.
Rainforest Edge Estate delivers private serenity with practical ease – perfect for those balancing family, career, wellbeing and the simple desire to breathe a little deeper at the end of the day.
Kenfrost Homes marketing coordinator Alex Loughton said originally launched with its first stages in 2016, the estate was now entering an exciting new chapter.
“In 2024, civil works recommenced, marking real momentum shaping thoughtfully prepared, flat blocks, complete with retaining walls already in place – removing stress and uncertainty for future homeowners, as well as bringing uniformity and grandeur to the visual aesthetic adding to the prestige of the estate,” he said.
“Surrounded by approximately 70ha of protected nature reserve, permanent flowing creeks and good sized block sizes, Rainforest Edge is a place where nature is not an afterthought –it’s part of daily life.
“Many homesites enjoy sweeping views across Trinity Bay and towards Admiralty Island, offering a daily reminder of just how special this location is.
“While the uptake on seven homes in stage 3A has been very promising with only a few completed house and land packages available, there has been a significant volume of inquiry for remaining stages but potential buyers will have to remain patient for an anticipated six-12 months or more until we are ready to release.
“The final plan on how many larger blocks up the hill in stage four and five with truly outstanding 180 degree sweeping views from the CBD to the southern corridor will have homes built on them or be a land-only sale is still to be decided.
“With house and land packages available now and open to view on the weekends or via appointment with Cairns Key Real Estate, Rainforest Edge is more than an address – it’s an invitation to rise above and live beautifully, grounded in nature, community and possibility.”
