Set on 2.88 acres of beautiful riverfront land in Goldsborough, this property presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a substantial private acreage holding where much of the infrastructure for a future dream home has already been thoughtfully planned, installed and paid for.
Framed by lush tropical bushland, mountain views and river frontage, the property offers the space, privacy and natural beauty that make acreage living so appealing, while providing an outstanding foundation for those looking to build their own home in the future.
Importantly, this is far more than simply a vacant acreage block with a shed. Considerable investment has already gone into the property's electrical, solar, battery, plumbing, septic and building infrastructure - much of which may not be immediately apparent during an initial inspection.
Infrastructure Designed with the Future Home in Mind
The property's electrical infrastructure has been deliberately designed with future residential development in mind.
Three-phase power is already connected to the property, providing significant electrical capacity for a future home as well as the ability to operate larger equipment.
Power is supplied from the Main Switchboard at the top of the property to the shed via approximately 88 metres of generously sized 25mm² three-phase cabling. This substantial underground infrastructure provides capacity well beyond the shed's current requirements and has been installed with the future house in mind.
For a future owner, this means a major component of the electrical infrastructure required to service the eventual home is already in place, potentially simplifying the future build and avoiding the need to undertake significant service installation through the developed areas of the property.
Impressive Solar & Battery Infrastructure
The shed is equipped with a substantial 19kW solar array, together with a 9.99kW inverter and approximately 42.8kW of battery storage.
The battery system also provides backup power capability, allowing the property to continue operating during a grid outage with an effectively seamless transition from the user's perspective.
Combined with the property's three-phase supply and substantial cabling, the solar generation and battery storage provide an impressive electrical foundation for the future residence, while offering the potential to significantly reduce ongoing electricity costs.
Plumbing & Septic Already Established
Significant plumbing infrastructure has also been completed.
A concrete septic system has been installed at the edge of the property, conveniently positioned beside the shed. The shed is already connected to the septic system, with plumbing in place for the existing toilet, sink and shower provisions.
The positioning of these services has also been considered with the eventual house in mind, providing a straightforward pathway for connecting the future residence without having to retrofit major services through the established areas of the property.
Extensively Fitted-Out 110m² Shed
At approximately 10m x 11m, the approved Class 10a shed provides around 110m² of substantial usable space and has been extensively fitted out rather than left as a basic shell.
The interior has been fully battened, insulated with R3.4 Earthwool insulation within the wall cavities and fully sheeted, with architraves and door jambs completed.
A 3.2m-deep mezzanine extends approximately 8m across the rear wall, providing valuable additional storage.
The shed also incorporates a functional bathroom/service area with:
- Toilet
- Sink
- Tap
- Hot water system
- Pre-installed shower plumbing
- Pre-slab plumbing
- Internal wall plumbing
The bathroom plumbing has been completed and signed off.
Well-Considered Electrical Fit-Out
The shed's electrical fit-out includes 12 power points and two 200W adjustable high-bay LED lights, along with pre-wiring and switching infrastructure for external porch lighting.
The external porch lights are one of the remaining minor items to be installed.
Whether used for vehicles, machinery, a workshop, storage, recreational pursuits or as a substantial base while planning the future home, the shed provides an exceptional level of existing infrastructure and usability.
A Future Homesite with a Head Start
The real value of this property lies in what has already been done.
For someone looking to create their own dream home in a peaceful riverfront setting, a significant amount of the groundwork has already been undertaken. Three-phase electrical infrastructure, substantial underground cabling, solar generation, battery storage, septic infrastructure, plumbing and an extensively fitted-out shed have all been established with the property's eventual residential future in mind.
Rather than starting with an undeveloped acreage block and taking on the considerable cost and complexity of establishing these services, the next owner has the opportunity to enjoy the infrastructure already in place while taking the time to design and build the home they ultimately want.
Set amongst natural beauty with river frontage and mountain views, yet approximately 10–15 minutes from Gordonvale and 30–35 minutes from the Cairns CBD, this is a unique Goldsborough holding offering privacy, space, infrastructure and genuine future potential.
