Les Hiddins, better known as The Bush Tucker Man, and wife Sandra, are selling their home in Far North Queensland.

The home on 7,975 square metres in Kuranda, a mountain village west of Cairns, cost the couple $500,000 in 2012.

Since then it's been renovated and extended, now with wings that come off the main structure.

One is a master wing, designed by Chris Van Dyke, complete with handcrafted New Guinea rose wood and silk wood. The other homes a separate studio.

There's four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a new French provincial style kitchen.

Ray White Cairns Beach agent Sonia Poole is asking $995,000.

Hiddins, who served in Vietnam, featured in the ABC series The Bush Tucker Man from the late 1980s.

He would drive around in a Land Rover Perentie finding and describing native Australia bush food.
