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.
