Your Island Paradise Awaits YOU..!

Raine & Horne Gladstone are proud to introduce Lot 35 Quoin Island to the current property market and know that if you have been dreaming of carefree island living with beautiful views and a stylish beach house, surrounded by nature and far from crowds and buzzing traffic - then this may well be the getaway you have been waiting for...!

The fully equipped and fully furnished property has been called "Fishtales" and consists of 3 bedrooms, functional bathroom and a separate laundry, an open plan living area, has a maritime styling theme around the home with high raking ceilings, is flooded by natural light from high louvers, is fully insulated with windows placed to pick up cooling breezes, has 3 outside living areas, awarded a record 8.5 environmental stars and is self sufficient for power, water and sewerage and all on a 1500m2 block with great ocean views.

This delightful home was designed by Elizabeth Anderson from leading Brisbane architectural firm Hayes, Anderson and Lynch and remains cool during the long summer that Gladstone generally has given its sub tropical climate.

Quoin Island (named by Matthew Flinders) is entirely privately held with the Harbour Views Estate at its centre with a resort on the Southern end which includes a turtle rehabilitation facility.

The estate is freehold land held in a group title with 50 acres of common land maintained by the body corporate. There is no public land so visitors are by invitation only.

The northern end has a prominent sand spit at low water; the best beaches are on the eastern side while much of the western side is mangrove with resident fish and crabs.

Access is either by boat with a concrete ramp and 3 other suitable landing spots or by Curtis Ferries that run a regular service for vehicles and pedestrians. By boat it is a 10 to 15 minute run from Gladstone boat ramps so shopping and entertainment are at your doorstep.

The estate currently has a number of established houses and Gladstone Regional Council is putting increasingly restrictive conditions on future houses on the unoccupied blocks while the steep cost of building remotely also discourages further development, so the continued serenity and privacy are pretty much guaranteed.

Lot 35 on which "Fishtales" is built has 1500m2 of usable freehold land running north/south with eastern water views to Facing Island, Gatcombe Heads and the shipping channels. A track runs down behind the block to the beach.

The off grid power system is a 24 volt, 800 amp hour system with lighting and energy efficient appliances selected to suit the capacity. A header tank system was also added to gravity feed the toilet and cold water to the sink to minimise noise and power consumption. Included is a backup generator a fully rewound, re-conditioned 6.5kw Honda which to date has never been needed to charge the system.

The house has been recently repainted outside and extensive landscaping completed using drought resistant plants and available materials. It is move in ready, sale includes all furniture and furnishings, original art works, decor items and an island car, a 1999 Toyota Landcruiser Prado (No registration required as no public access). Just bring food, clothes and drinks; it is all there for the lucky buyer.

In the back yard there are water tanks, the septic system, and an artistic, unique fish cleaning bench, a 6m by 4 m man cave and a playground for the kids.

If this sounds like your Dream Island Getaway, then please call the Marketing Agent - Steven James on 0439 111 197 to arrange your private inspection for serious buyers with times and dates in accord with ferry service times.
