Land sale features a beach
ONE of Cairns’ last remaining premier secluded waterfront development sites will be offered to the market this month.
More than 18,700sq m at Half Moon Bay, north of Cairns, on Reed Rd at Trinity Park, with 350m of frontage to the Coral Sea is up for sale exclusively via Knight Frank agents Christian Sandstrom,
Dominic Ong and Greg Wood.
Situated between Trinity Park and Yorkeys Knob, Half Moon Bay is the first headland north of Cairns and is 18km or 20 minutes north of the Cairns CBD and 10 minutes from the Cairns International Airport.
To the southwest of the site, Brookfield Residential Properties is developing Bluewater Estate for a number of land and house packages across three precincts, including internalised private marinas.
Mr Sandstrom said the campaign would target local, interstate and offshore development companies looking to capitalise on Australia’s improving tourism market.
“There were 24.1 million visitors to Queensland in 2018, which was a 9.8 per cent increase, and Cairns, which is the main tourist hub of North Queensland, had 2.96 million visitors,” he said.
“Half Moon Bay is located in the idyllic northern beaches region of Tropical North Queensland. Occupying the mouth of Half Moon Creek, it is surrounded by an exuberant tropical environment and exclusive white sandy beaches and will draw in a huge number of visitors.”
Mr Wood said the land had the potential to become a world-class development.
“Half Moon Bay is truly a unique, one-off property in north Queensland which has not previously been available to the market, being held by its current ownership for a considerable length of time,” he said.
“The property provides a high quality opportunity for a variety of applications, involving permanent residential options and resort destination facilities which can be combined with other uses over this large beachfront site.
“The site has an existing approval for multiple dwellings and holiday accommodation, with amenity including pools, cafes and restaurants, and more than 13ha of the 18ha is developable.”
Expressions of interest will close at 4pm on April 2. Contact Christian.Sandstrom@au.knight frank.com or 0419 784 317 for more details.
