Smithfield Village is a master-planned community which is very special in several respects.

It's Cairns' largest residential coastal development on the northern beaches.

It's also the only new large-scale development located in an area already home to the substantial facilities and solid infrastructure which ordinarily develop slowly, well after the community has begun to grow.

Smithfield Village is a very important project for Satterley Property Group. It's our first community in Cairns and we're determined to ensure that it meets the multi-award-winning standard, and enjoys the same exceptional market acceptance, that all our other communities have enjoyed.

Our collective aim for Smithfield Village is to make it the community by which all other Queensland residential developments are judged in the future.

It's close to perfect and everywhere else is also nearby.

Undoubtedly what sets Smithfield Village apart from all other Cairns developments is that it's located within minutes of the very best the northern beaches have to offer.

The glorious beaches.

The soaring jade coloured mountain backdrop.

A full range of excellent learning institutions for people of all ages.

More recreational facilities then you'd imagined possible in a community this young. All the shopping variety you would wish for.

And an impressive selection of first-class leisure and entertainment pursuits.

All just twenty minutes from the Central Business District.

Welcome to what a community should be.

Before we begin the master-planning process, we make sure we conduct comprehensive surveys of the many groups of individuals, couples, families and retirees to find out precisely what they really want in a community.

And then we set about delivering all these required design features, community facilities, environmental standards, home site configurations and other resources.

It's everything you've always asked for.

As you'll probably already have experienced, most developments are little more than an attractive assembly of sub-divided blocks, functional roads, a few areas of token parkland and some display homes.

At Smithfield Village you'll find that whilst a great deal of time, money and effort has been invested in the physical infrastructure, that's just the foundation upon which the community can be built.

Smithfield Village recognises that what really transforms a residential development into a community are the strategies, mechanisms and expert human resources put in place to facilitate the growth of a truly coherent, energetic and integrated community with a shared sense of purpose and common concern for the living environment and every single resident.

That's what Smithfield Village offers and what makes it so extraordinary.

You'll be amazed by the community resources already available to Smithfield Village residents.

Unlike most new developments, Smithfield Village has all the amenities and services you could possibly need, within the Village, right next door or just around the corner.

Discover the parks and walking trails in your own backyard.

Smithfield Village is designed to take full advantage of its prime location between the deep green mountains and the glorious beach just two kilometres beyond the eastern boundary.

There are magnificent parks, walking and bike trails within the Village, several of which extend deep into the wide natural expanses at its edge.

Find the essential facilities and services you want and need.

It sounds astonishing, but the fact is that within five minutes of your new home in Smithfield Village , there are already many outstanding facilities.

A substantial community recreation centre.

A 50 metre public swimming pool.

Holy Cross School, Trinity Park , the local primary school, and Smithfield High School.

James Cook University is a casual bike ride across the Highway which also shares the name of Australia's famous discoverer.

And there are local shops within walking distance of the Village.

What's more, the substantial Smithfield Shopping Centre, with K Mart, Woolworths and many excellent specialty stores, is a brief, three-minute drive away.

And that's just the enthralling beginning.

The area is also home to a quality childcare facility and even a well-resourced medical centre.

The attractions the tourists enjoy are just next door.

Within five minutes of Smithfield Village there are a great many resort-quality facilities to enjoy. There's the delightful Half Moon Bay Golf Course.

The restaurants, spa resort and popular swimming beach at Yorkeys Knob.

And the magnificent Boating Club at Yorkeys Knob is an outstanding place to keep your boat or to just drop into for a pleasant meal in a spectacular setting.

Of course, coastal pleasures aren't all that's close by.

Within mere minutes you can be walking along one of the leafy trails in the splendid Conservation Area in Smithfield Heights.

And many of the region's most famous visitor high points, the famous Skyrail, cable water ski facility, Tjapuki Aboriginal Cultural Park and AJ Hackett bungy jump, among many others, are all very close by.

Or you can simply stay and enjoy the relaxing peace and quiet always on offer within the Village.

And the city action is never far away.

Whenever you get the urge to seek out a new and very different culinary experience.

Or take in a concert.

Or enjoy shopping on a grander scale.

Then Cairns is always waiting to provide you with the fun, excitement and the renowned far north atmosphere which has made it one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.
