This 584m² freehold absolute waterfront property offers a truly unique opportunity — there is simply nothing else like it on the Bay Islands.
With 18 metres of your own private sandy beach, this block provides excellent water access for flat-bottom or shallow draft boats that can be beached, as well as smaller watercraft for easy launching. It’s the perfect setup for liveaboard boaties wanting a private landing spot and a secure piece of land to call their own — plug into power, park the island car (to stock up with supplies and groceries), store things in the shed, have a firepit, carry out work on the boat by having land to lay out sails and gear, and even catch fresh drinking water in the underground water tank.
The property is fully fenced and features a 6m x 4m shed, power pole and meter box with an existing electricity connection, plus an underground rainwater tank and pump. A shady raised timber platform nestled among mature Casuarinas provides a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the coastal setting.
This is also one of the very few privately owned waterfront blocks at Sandy Beach — almost all surrounding land is council owned and unlikely to ever be developed. This makes the site uniquely positioned and, depending on council requirements, may suit a low-impact commercial or recreational use (STCA).
Imagine this: moor your houseboat out the front, plug into your own power supply, enjoy some land time, and still have your island car nearby to access local services. This is the best of both worlds for those seeking a self-sufficient, water-based lifestyle, surrounded by nature and without immediate neighbours.
Sandy Beach is one of Russell Island’s most loved waterfront areas, known for swimming, fishing, and boating. It’s also home to a council-managed campsite, BBQ area, playground, and off-leash dog beach (seasonal). Located on the island’s eastern side, Sandy Beach is the closest point to the open ocean, Jumpinpin Bar, and the Gold Coast Broadwater.
Buyers are strongly encouraged to undertake their own due diligence with a suitably experienced local town planner. The property is zoned Conservation, which does not traditionally allow for a residential dwelling; however, depending on your intended use, this unique block may still suit someone seeking something different, such as a recreational, boating, or low-impact commercial concept (STCA). If you would like an overview of how this zoning typically applies on the Bay Islands, contact Kat for more information.
A block like this is exceptionally rare and sure to capture the imagination of those who appreciate something truly different.
