Just ten minutes from Port Douglas, Jade Ridge offers the rare balance of semi-rural privacy with everyday convenience close at hand. Sculpted into the mountainside and elevated above the coastline, the home commands a remarkable position, capturing sunrise over the Coral Sea with ocean views stretching across the Port Douglas Peninsula to Low Isles and Snapper Island – all less than two kilometres away and firmly within the foreground of daily life.

Designed by the renowned Chris Van Dyke, the residence delivers palatial living on a grand yet considered scale, with approximately 600m² under roof set on a manageable 3,000m² allotment. Every element of the build reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality. Core-filled block construction, aluminium-framed doors and windows, and double-thickness glazing provide strength and durability, while a refined palette of natural materials brings warmth and elegance throughout.

Signature Spotted Gum pillars, beams and staircases anchor the design, complemented by Mango wood and American Oak cabinetry, and premium finishes including New Guinea Rosewood, Black Galaxy Granite and Matrix Granite. The result is a home that feels both commanding and inviting.

At its heart, a vast covered veranda spans the width of the residence – an extraordinary entertaining space renowned locally for hosting gatherings of up to 120 guests. Framed by Spotted Gum columns, the outlook is nothing short of spectacular. Bi-fold doors connect seamlessly to the living areas and wet bar, while double patio doors lead to the bedrooms and landscaped gardens beyond. A fully integrated Bose sound system flows throughout the home, creating a cohesive atmosphere for entertaining on any scale.

Accommodation is generously proportioned across two levels, including three bedrooms on the upper floor, a self-contained studio or granny annexe, and an additional bedroom on the ground floor. The master suite is a private retreat, featuring a double shower with bi-fold windows, dual basins set on a solid American Oak vanity, and a substantial walk-in robe. Additional bathrooms continue the theme of quality, including an Englefield spa bath set in Matrix Granite, private terraces, bespoke cabinetry and custom etched glass.

The surrounding tropical gardens are low-maintenance and alive with native wildlife, while the magnesium swimming pool provides a serene space to unwind, complete with built-in seating and a custom pearl-mosaic lotus design. Practicality is equally well catered for, with extensive storage (including potential for additional rooms), a separate laundry, covered parking, 6kW solar power, and approximately 400m² of additional land suitable for a large shed, boat or caravan storage, office space or caretaker’s residence.

Whether as a private retreat, an entertainer’s haven or a permanent residence of distinction, Jade Ridge offers an exceptional lifestyle defined by privacy, scale and timeless design.
