Featuring complete isolation, the sound of quietly lapping waves, a white sandy beach, and clear turquoise water, what could be more perfect this summer?

The residential lease on Pelorus Island is for sale, presenting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The house is  single-storey, purpose-built and open-plan, and makes the most of the beach views. It is fully-furnished, and features a sprawling veranda at the front with sweeping views to the ocean and surrounds. It sits just metres from the water.

The residence is self-sufficient, being fully powered by solar with large battery storage systems, and dual backup generators.

The home is the only one on the island, with the rest of the island used by Hinchinbrook and some camping permitted in the north.

The residential lease includes more than one acre, or 4,000 sqm, and is set amid unspoilt surroundings and a lush, green backdrop. The property is on the sheltered south-western corner of the island.

World-class snorkelling, diving and fishing is right on the property's doorstep. This archipelago is widely acknowledged by the boating community as one of the best, and most unpopulated boating destinations in the world. 

The island is part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, and includes pristine beaches and beautiful surrounding reefs.

Pelorus Island is 45 nautical miles north of Townsville and 800 metres north of Orpheus Island. The whole island is approximately four-square kilometres.

The island is only accessible by boat or helicopter.
