Nestled on the pristine shores of Whalers Bay, this remarkable island residence offers a rare opportunity to secure your own piece of paradise on beautiful Thistle Island - just 60 kilometres off the coast of Port Lincoln. The island is easily accessible via a 15-minute charter flight with Lincoln Air Charter or by boat in around one to two hours, making it both remote and conveniently connected.
Completed in 1987 by the current owner, the home sits proudly overlooking the bay, capturing sweeping coastal views and the tranquility that defines this unique destination. Designed as a relaxed family retreat, the property features three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a spacious open-plan living area that takes full advantage of its spectacular outlook. Power is currently supplied by generator, with a recent quote obtained for solar installation, heating and air-conditioning for enhanced comfort and efficiency.
The sale offers the potential for a negotiated walk-in, walk-out arrangement, including a range of quality inclusions. Among them are a 5.3-metre boat with 90-horsepower Mercury engine, a Nissan 4WD, and a quad bike - everything you need to immediately enjoy island living and exploration. Ownership also provides a 1/50 share in the island itself, granting access to its 10,000 acres of stunning landscape, secluded beaches and a communal beachfront hut for relaxed lunches and gatherings.
Thistle Island is home to a friendly, close-knit community of property owners, with 50 allotments in total and only 22 homes completed to date. The island has a full-time caretaker who maintains the excellent airstrip and roads, delivers fuel and gas to each property, and assists residents with maintenance as required - ensuring a worry-free experience for all.
Fishing enthusiasts will find the surrounding waters nothing short of exceptional, with abundant whiting, squid, crayfish, flathead, salmon and snook. Over the decades, the current owners and their family have enjoyed countless memorable holidays here, and it's easy to see why: Thistle Island offers a lifestyle of peace, natural beauty, and genuine connection.
Now offered to the market for the first time, this unique coastal retreat presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy island living at its best - whether as a private getaway, family holiday home, or treasured legacy property for generations to come.
