A tropical island is on the market
Turtle Island, which sits at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, is for sale.
An entire freehold tropical island just off the coast of Queensland has hit the market.
The tropical island has council approval to be used as a tourist resort, or can simply be used as a private residence.
Turtle Island is 23.25 acres, and is one of only nine freehold islands in Queensland.
The island has two helicopter pads, a private jetty, a main building with four spacious bedrooms (each with separate bathrooms and three of which include their own entertaining area), large kitchen, expansive entertaining area with pool room and music room, undercover parking for five cars, sweeping wrap-around verandah boasting views over the coral sea, a pontoon, and an idyllic in ground swimming pool.
And of course all this is surrounded by luscious tropical gardens and then the wide blue sea.
The island has sweeping views through Port Curtis and back to Gladstone. The Great Barrier Reef, Lady Musgrave, Heron Island, and Great Keppel Island are a short motor ride away.
“Given that Turtle Island is located at the Southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, it has one of the seven wonders of the natural world at its doorstep” said Emily Fan of Colliers International, who is selling the island.
“The Southern Great Barrier Reef is home to what is considered to be one of the top dive and snorkelling sites in the world, dotted with impressive coral caves and reefs that are only a stone’s throw away from the coast,” she said.
“While it may feel you are worlds away when you are on Turtle Island, it is extremely accessible being just 4 kilometres from the town of Gladstone. From Gladstone, you then have the option of taking a ferry, helicopter, or your own private boat to Turtle Island in just 10 minutes.
“Gladstone offers an array of fine dining and entertaining options if you ever feel like stepping away from Turtle Island” she continued.
The property also includes 15 large water tanks, vehicle accessibility via a car barge, two dams and phone reception.
The weather is exceptional year round on Turtle Island with an average of 19- 28 degrees Celsius.
The island is for sale through Colliers International via an expressions interest campaign, which closes 3pm 28 September.
