A rare opportunity to acquire one of Raymond Island's most distinctive waterfront properties, a beautiful 10-acre estate combining timeless character, natural beauty, established gardens and an existing boutique accommodation business.
Privately positioned on Raymond Island, Swan Cove offers a unique opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary waterfront lifestyle while continuing a successful nature-based accommodation enterprise.
A Character-Filled Waterfront Residence
At the heart of the property is a spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence, thoughtfully designed to embrace its peaceful natural setting. The home is rich in handcrafted character, featuring beautiful African Cherry Wood lining, wrought iron light fittings, German-crafted leadlight and a warm, welcoming kitchen that forms the heart of the residence. The main home is complemented by two charming semi-detached cottages, each providing private guest accommodation and creating an ideal balance between comfortable family living and an established boutique retreat. The configuration offers exceptional flexibility, whether continuing as a residence with income-producing accommodation, providing space for family and friends or creating a private island sanctuary with guest quarters.
A Boutique Accommodation Business
Swan Cove has established a strong reputation as a peaceful nature-based retreat, attracting guests seeking tranquillity, authenticity and a genuine connection with the landscape. The two semi-detached cottages provide an established accommodation offering, supported by Swan Cove's existing reputation, returning guests and online presence. For a new owner, the opportunity exists to continue the business in its current form, further develop its potential, or simply enjoy the property as an extraordinary private waterfront estate.
Nature, Water and Privacy
Set across approximately 10 acres of secluded waterfront land, Swan Cove offers a rare combination of privacy, space and direct connection with the natural environment. Established gardens surround the residence and cottages, with abundant native wildlife creating a constantly changing backdrop. Koalas, echidnas, native birds and other wildlife are regular visitors, reinforcing the property's unique sense of place. A large enclosed productive garden provides space for growing vegetables, herbs and fruit, while the property's bore provides an ongoing water supply. The sustainable infrastructure is further enhanced by 31 solar panels with battery storage, supporting an environmentally conscious and largely self-sufficient lifestyle.
Exceptional Shedding and Storage
The property provides extensive infrastructure for vehicles, boats, equipment and workshop requirements. There are four carport spaces, two lock-up vehicle spaces and a separate workshop, together with additional storage and room for a further two vehicles. This level of shedding and covered parking is an exceptional asset for a waterfront acreage property and provides the space and practicality rarely found alongside established accommodation.
