You probably didn’t even imagine that a property like this existed in Australia!
Imagine building your own home in a pristine little beachfront cove—the nearest neighbours are far out of sight and hearing—you will own all three allotments in the subdivision, assuring your privacy. The surrounding land can not be subdivided—in fact, it’s almost like being on an island!
The property comprises 6,601 sqm (over 1.5 acres) of absolute beachfront hillside land that slopes gently to a Cherry Tree Bay, just east of Cooktown. Fresh water is seasonally available from a spring that feeds into the creek that runs down the hill between Lots 24 and 11.
Build your ultimate retreat now and enjoy the tropical tranquility, or just hold this land in its undeveloped state for your family's future—you may never see an opportunity like this again. This property has only been held by two families since the land was first sold in 1950—75 years.
The land is zoned “Environment Conservation and Management” and is in the jurisdiction of the Cook Shire Council. Their town plan is readily downloadable from their website, however the gist of it is that any development must be fully self sufficient (power, water, septic etc).
The blocks can be accessed by hiking down from Grassy Hill Lookout, hiking around from Finch Bay to the south or by it’s just a short boat trip from Cooktown.
You may never see a property like this again … the owners are committed to selling so do not delay!
