No.21 DARKIN CLOSE | Smithfield
Rising high into the clouds and exuding a commanding street presence sits a fortress like residence that surveys the world below, architecturally designed to withstand anything mother nature could throw at it. The property was built with one major consideration and non-negotiable; to capture the incredible panoramic views across Cairns and the Coral Sea, from sunrise to sunset you’ll experience life from a different altitude thanks to the vast spacious patios and alfresco.

Commissioned over 30 years ago, the owners sought out the very best architects at the time to create a property that would complement and maximise this unique elevated location where Mid-Century Modern has been fused with Mediterranean Style. Extending across three distinct levels offering an incredible opportunity for multiple generational living, or a Penthouse Lifestyle where you can downsize, rent out the additional space and drive additional income to fund your lifestyle so you can come and go and lock and leave.
