For over 60 years, The Mater Home Lottery has been offering luxury homes in some of Australia’s most desirable communities. The home up for grabs in draw #273, however, may be one of the most unique and attractive that you’ve seen in a long while.
This $1.8 million home is perched on the edge of the rainforest, overlooking the Cairns valley with panoramic views from every window. The surroundings give the home an enviable privacy from which to enjoy its many outdoor living areas. The pool sparkles, the wooden walkways are glowing, and you’ll feel completely immersed in your own natural oasis.
This is a home in which you can relax, decompress, and unwind in quiet luxury.
The Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef
Visitors from all over the world flock to Cairns as a jumping-off point on their journey to the Great Barrier Reef. If you’re holding the winning ticket in draw #273, you’ll have no excuse not to get on a first name basis with the whales, dolphins, sea turtles and porpoises that call this “natural wonder of the world” home.
Eagleview Place is located in Smithfield, which lies to the north of central Cairns and marks the beginning of the northern beaches. Trinity Beach is just a short drive away, as is the Arlington Esplanade and Clifton Beach. The Great Dividing Range is at your back and all of the valley stretches before you.
Cairns itself is just a few minutes down the road and packed with world-class restaurants, cafes and boutique shopping. You can wander the outdoor markets, drop your line in the waters of Chinaman Creek, or stroll along the esplanade and just watch the world go by.

Move in or Invest
If you’re the winner in draw #273, you can move into your new home in Cairns any time you like. If you’re not yet ready to make the move, you’ll still be rewarded with a wonderful investment property. Rental income is estimated to be $1,300 per week, and the property value is sure to rise over time. That’s some serious spending money for the present, and a secure nest egg for the future.
Of course you can always sell the home, and having $1.8 million to throw around just might ease the pain of not having a permanent home in the rainforest.

Thank You for Supporting the Mater Foundation
When babies are born prematurely, or develop problems when they’re still in the womb, they require a lot of expensive neonatal care. That’s what Mater has been giving to Australian babies for decades, and they couldn’t do it without your help. All proceeds from the Mater Home Lotteries goes to helping sick and premature babies so that they can get well enough to finally go home. Ticket buyers have been helping out for over 60 years, and we thank you for your ongoing support.
Best of luck in draw #273 and we hope you’ll soon be enjoying your exclusive Cairns retreat.
