Gnaraloo Station is the Western Australian gem where ocean meets desert
Perched on the edge of the Ningaloo Marine Park in Western Australia is Gnaraloo Station, which is well known for its unique natural beauty and is a popular destination for adventure seekers who love the surf. Covering approximately 78,000 hectares, including 62 kilometres of untouched coastline, the property is listed for sale by expressions of interest under a leasehold with offers expected above $17.5 million.
Since 2005, owner Paul Richardson has nurtured Gnaraloo Station as a unique convergence of a wildlife sanctuary and surf haven. Visitors know Gnaraloo as a secluded oasis where camping at 3 Mile Camp brings you to the very edge of world-class surf breaks like Tombstones, which hosted the Billabong Challenge in the 1990s, drawing legends like Kelly Slater and Rob Machado to its barrelled waves.
The offering is a turnkey venture as a working station, tourism destination, and conservation asset featuring a pastoral lease running from July 2015 to 2046 with extensions to 2065, livestock including 1500 goats and 35 sheep, and longstanding tourism leases that add strong income potential.
The homestead is a self-contained coastal village which includes 22 one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabins, four two-bedroom, one-bathroom cabins, shearing quarters with 14 rooms, a shearing lodge/shed, and a 10-room fishing lodge with shared facilities plus an en suite.
The main five-bedroom, two-bathroom home boasts two kitchens, while additional infrastructure includes a reception building, two manager units, two two-bedroom units, four single rooms, a communal kitchen, communal showers, laundry, six generators, and eight water tanks with approximately 430,000 litres of fresh water.
Also part of the property, 3 Mile Camp features 99 campsites, three shower blocks, three staff accommodation units, along with a reception, cafe, and retail shop.
The property is seeking a buyer who cherishes the land’s natural beauty and will carry forward its established legacy as a West Australian gem.
