Fancy being landlord to an entire island in the Whitsundays?
Just a short 15-minute flight or boat ride from Mackay, Queensland, is Keswick Island, a stunning island paradise boasting 517 hectares of untouched natural habitat and a strong investment opportunity.
On the market with a 117-hectare land lease and 25-hectare marine lease through Colliers International, it’s an appealing prospect for developers in the hospitality and tourism industry seeking to create a thriving tourist destination in the Whitsundays.
The island is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, which each year attracts up to two million tourists who come to snorkel, dive and sail in its stunning waters.
There are also lush national parks to explore, along with established sealed roads, a grass airstrip and the bones of infrastructure already in place through approvals to build a mixed-use precinct that can include residential homes, a marina, and ecotourism accommodation.
Mobile coverage and landline access are also available on the island, and solar power and rainwater storage are already in place, lending to its sustainability credentials.
The views from the island are unlike anywhere else in the southern reaches of the reef, with sweeping vistas across the Coral Sea to the neighbouring St Bees Island and vantage points from the highest peak at 309 metres.
Expressions of interest close on August 12.
