BOUTIQUE ECO-RESORT IN PRIME ATHERTON TABLELANDS LOCATION | Resort Brokers ID : FH009028

$1,800,000

Business Description

Set along the Ithaca River amid lush rainforest in the heart of the Atherton Tablelands, 90 minutes’ drive south of Cairns, The Canopy Treehouses is a multi-award-winning boutique eco-resort.

Comprising just six guest accommodations, consisting of five two-bed treehouses, and one tiny home, The Canopy Treehouses is one of only a handful of accommodation businesses adjacent to the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, one of Australia’s most pristine natural environments.

Firmly established since the 1990s, the business returned a net income exceeding $299,000 in FY25, underpinned by exceptional occupancy of approximately 80%.

The Canopy Treehouses’ strong trade and extensive 33-ha landholding provides significant scope for the incoming owner to build additional guest accommodation and amenities, subject to council approval.

The property presents impeccably and is a genuine turnkey business. The vendor has continually reinvested back into the property with regular infrastructure upgrades, including a backup generator that powers the entire property.

A highly attractive three-bed owner’s residence provides an idyllic home suited to an owner-operator, whether a single or couple, seeking the ultimate tree change.

Buyers should seriously consider this rare opportunity to acquire a first-rate freehold eco-resort in one of Australia's most stunning tropical environments, backed by a strong trading history and positioned for significant future profitability.
