Overview

RIVER VIEWS WITH PASSIVE INCOME POTENTIAL

This rare offering presents a truly outstanding opportunity-one of a kind in the Cairns market. Situated in the historic fishing village of Machans Beach, this tightly held suburb was long regarded as a fisherman's retreat and holiday shack destination. Today, it is rapidly gentrifying while remaining largely undiscovered by southern investors. The main residence, a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with parking for 3-vehicles, is elevated and designed to capture both views and breezes. A second dwelling-the former Sea Scouts boatshed-remains largely in original condition and represents a significant opportunity for renovation and reinvention, offering strong potential for passive income. Imagine a lifestyle where every day feels like a holiday. Wake to the sound of the ocean and gentle sea breezes, just metres from the boat ramp, the Barron River, your boat, and the Coral Sea. Property Highlights: • Expansive Landholding: 1,633m² of cleared land, ideal for investment. • Premium Waterfront Position: A private and highly desirable block with captivating water views. • Direct Marine Access: Immediate access to the Coral Sea via the nearby boat ramp-perfect for boating, fishing, and swimming. Notably, this location is positioned before any bridges, allowing unrestricted access for yachts and larger vessels. • Natural Surroundings: Enjoy the Barron River, sandy beaches, walking trails, and abundant marine life right on your doorstep. • Village Lifestyle: A welcoming, close-knit community with local cafés, shops, and friendly neighbours-plus the advantage of being the closest beachside suburb to Cairns City. This is a rare chance to secure an exceptional river view property and embrace the boating lifestyle you've always dreamed of.
