— Rockhampton, Queensland —

There are few destinations in the world that offer a combination of spectacular natural beauty, privacy and lifestyle. this is that rare opportunity to own a clifftop peninsula home on 3,472sqm on the iconic Capricorn Coast. Overlooking Keppel Bay, the property enjoys breathtaking 180-degree views sweeping from the north beyond Keppel Island to Curtis Island in the south, with 13 islands dotted in between.

This property is truly that often overused term… never to be seen again.

Perched above the stone cliffs, this private holding sits on the very edge of the Australian east coast, the crystal waters of Keppel Bay below, tempting you to walk down to enjoy the sandy beaches.

Held by three generations of one family and lovingly kept for over ninety years, this is the proverbial property ‘everyone has been waiting for’.

The expansive green lawn runs to the cliff edge, enhancing the relaxed feeling one experiences sitting within the home or on the veranda, watching sailboats and the occasional paddle boat glide across the Bay. It is without doubt one of the most scenic private locations on the east coast.

The original weatherboard cottage made way for an architecturally designed home in the late 1990s to take advantage of the magnificent ocean views. The already spacious home can be expanded or completely reimagined into something that will stand for the next 100 years.

A stroll along Shelley beach which becomes Emu Park’s main beach, will bring you to the picturesque township of Emu Park with supermarket, cafes, newsagent, baker, butcher, art gallery, swimming pool and, of course, the pub.

Rockhampton, one of Queensland’s major regional cities, is a 40-minute drive to the west with excellent access via air, road, and rail to capital cities and beyond. A 15-minute drive to north will bring you to the Keppel Bay Marina which boasts 500 berths and allows excellent access to Great Keppel Island and the Keppel Island Group with its multitude of white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.

Ideal for extended families or gatherings of friends and conveniently located to the beach, local shopping and restaurants, and 40-minutes to the airport, this once-in-lifetime opportunity can only truly be appreciated in person.
