You Wish: Port Douglas

Kalimna, Port Douglas
Price range $7.5 million-plus

Retail mogul Craig Kimberley is known as the jean genie, and his far north Queensland retreat is just magic.

Kimberley’s secluded tropical estate, named Kalimna,  is on the market at $7.5 million.

The five-bedroom property, embedded over five levels joined by boardwalks, is one of the largest private land holdings in Port Douglas and looks like a resort, not just a home.

Kimberley is the founder of Just Jeans, which he sold his stake in for $64 million in 2001, and is one of Australia’s most successful businessmen. His Christine Vadasz-designed getaway is made up of nine pavilions set in lush water gardens, with vistas across the Coral Sea.

A 25-metre infinity swimming pool drops away for the rainforest and ocean on the horizon, with a teahouse pavilion for lounging after a dip. The main bedroom pavilion has an outdoor shower and a deck.

For total privacy, the guest pavilion is separate and has four bedrooms, all with en suites.

Ken Jacobs of Christie’s International Real Estate is the agent to see.
