Summary

Temple island is located a few kilometres off the coast of Central Queensland, and is easy to get to as it boasts it’s own private airstrip, along with a 4 bedroom high set home. This Island is extremely well priced for an exotic Island of this size. If nature is what you seek then this totally private 123 acre island with an 21.5 acre lease, just perfect with a rainforest and an abundance of orchids and exotic plants, the rest of the island is National Park with no visitations apart from the various birds that use the island as a retreat. This very affordable Island has just come back on the market and I suggest if you are seeking that sea change or for that private family retreat, then this Island and property is worth inspecting.

Some of the most outstanding features apart from the views of this Island are the many great white sandy beaches as well as the undisturbed coral with oysters that you can eat directly off the rocks. Whales have also been viewed from this aquatic oasis, as they pass in August and return South in September. Also inhabiting the Island are Sea Turtles, which nest in December, followed by hatchlings in January/February. Sights such as these are common on glorious Temple Island. The nearest Green Zone is 30 Km away, so fishing is abundant

This very rare sensational property is leasehold. Negotiations with the DNRM leases can be negotiated 2 years out from their expiry. Access is easy via a light plane from Rockhampton or Mackay Airports, which are serviced by all the major domestic airlines into these two regional airports. Alternatively travel by boat from the mainland point of Ilbilbie off Cape Palmerston about an hour south from Mackay.

Easily the best thing about spending time on Temple Island is the ability to make your own adventure

Go fishing, diving, exploring, Lie back and watch the sunset with a drink, enjoy the soothing trance-like relaxing effects of a campfire with a few good mates or in the book it’s entirely up to you

Nature & Beaches

Amazing private beaches, Windswept rocky headlands, mangroves, micro rainforests are all yours, Watch the whales pass and Sea Turtles nest, and then follow the hatchlings down to the water.
