However, the attractive property comes with a catch. 

“Hartley’s Crocodile Farm is literally across the road,” the listing says. 

The ten-hectare wildlife sanctuary has been a Far North Queensland icon since the 1980s, and offers crocodile boat cruises, feeding sessions, and a famous “crocodile attack show”. 

But for those who aren’t afraid to brave a croc or two, the two-bedroom property in Wangetti has a lot to offer. 

The newly-painted home has two good-sized decks for outdoor entertaining, a functional kitchen, a separate shed with power, and parking for six cars. 

Residents even have access to water from a nearby waterfall, for the ultimate back-to-nature experience. 

Outside are fruit trees of every kind: mango, lychee, macadamia, banana, mulberry, orange, lemons and limes. 

The beach is just 800 metres from the doorstep, and there are also “mud crabs across the road”, according to the listing. 

“Your piece of paradise awaits – make it yours today!” invites the listing.
