For less than $4 million, a tropical Australian island is put up for sale.
The Great Barrier Reef's Victor Island, which offers "uninterrupted Coral Sea panoramas," is once more for sale.A tropical Australian island that recently went on the market for less than $4 million has already drawn fans looking for what is perhaps its finest quality: complete isolation.
Victor Island, which is located in the centre of the Whitsundays and has eight hectares, a private beach, a luxurious residence, and a swimming pool, is up for sale once more.According to its ad with Queensland's Sotheby's International Realty, the "100% off-the-grid private island" is situated in the Great Barrier Reef, with "uninterrupted Coral Sea panoramas in every direction," and is completely furnished.
The 350 square metre main house has a verandah that wraps around the front and overlooks the water, five bedrooms split between two different wings, three bathrooms, and three garages. It is presently available for $2,000 per night as a vacation rental. On the island, which can only be reached by helicopter or a 20-minute boat trip from Hay Point, south of Mackay, is a caretaker's cabin with one bedroom and a bathroom.
This resort lifestyle is unmatched for its exclusivity, according to the description, whether it be a cool plunge in the pool or a stroll along the beach. Adventures abound, from hiking paths to aquatic activities like snorkelling, fishing, and jet skiing.
A vegetable garden and fresh eggs provided by laying hens are also available to anybody interested in purchasing the sustainable-powered, two-boat tropical paradise. Additionally, it has a desalination plant, solar panels with a backup generator, 225,000 litres of filtered rainwater storage, and solar hot water.
Interest is growing in Victor Island.
Some foreign buyers are allegedly interested in the scenic island, which makes sense given that a supposedly uninhabitable Sydney mansion sold for a staggering $4.7 million only last year.
According to News Corp, the island was just sold to Sydney developers in March of last year for $3.6 million, but it does not fit with their business plans. The island is anticipated to bring in between $3.6 million and $4 million this time.
According to one of its listing agents, Lynn Malone, the island is ideal for a family vacation getaway but could also be pursued by someone looking to convert it into a company.
She said that there was possibility to construct another home on the island and that it now had a business licence to operate as boutique short-term accommodations with approval for up to eight guests in the main house.
A businessman who "works in the metaverse," according to Ms. Malone, has expressed interest in purchasing the island. "Expats and foreign businesspeople have shown the most interest thus far, and the majority of them are searching for a vacation resort," she added.
