20 Warril Drive, Kuranda, Qld 4881 - More Details
Expressions of Interest | Development Opportunity
Positioned on Warril Drive, Kuranda, this 2.28-hectare parcel is offered for sale with full subdivision approval valid until August 2028. The approved subdivision provides five acreage lots, ranging from 4,061m² to 5,217m², with defined building envelopes ranging from 813m² to 1,195m² per lot.
Offering an opportunity to create boutique rainforest acreage properties while preserving the natural setting that attracts tree-change and custom-build buyers to the Kuranda region.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STACKS UP
• Approved & Extended to 2028 - Development approval is confirmed extended to 17th August 2028
• Town Water Connected - The site is serviced by town water, cutting both cost and delay compared to sites requiring bore or tank infrastructure.
• Optimised Yield, Efficient Footprint - Five distinct rural residential lots configured to maximise land value while working with the site's existing contours and natural drainage, not against them.
• Defined Civil Scope - All shared infrastructure sits within a single, centralised 7m-wide access easement (135m in length), keeping internal road construction, bulk earthworks, and trenching to a minimum.
• Pre-Mapped Building Envelopes - Enabling immediate civil budgeting for clearing, retaining walls, and driveway crossovers.
• Environmental Certainty - The eastern boundary is mapped as Category R Regulated Vegetation, setting clear clearing limits from day one and removing a major source of approval delay.
• Water Feature - An existing retention dam sits centrally within the layout, giving a premium water outlook at no extra design or reconfiguration cost.
• Flexible Holding Strategy - A private purchaser may choose to retain Lots 20 and 21, which benefit from the existing water feature, for personal use and privacy, while selling the remaining three lots to potentially offset development costs or create a future return.

LOCATION & MARKET POSITION
• Address: 20 Warril Drive, Kuranda QLD 4881 (Mareeba Shire Council)
• Kuranda's tight planning scheme restrictions on rural subdivision keep new acreage stock scarce - boutique lots like these consistently command a premium from custom home builders and tree-change buyers.
• Connectivity: Under 5 minutes to Kuranda Village amenities; approximately 30 minutes down the Range to Smithfield then on to Cairns CBD and Cairns International Airport.
