Paradise Awaits

Does an average daily temperature of a balmy 29 degrees sound appealing? A tropical climate that allows for swimming, diving, boating and fishing year-round. Even better, only an environmental reserve separates you from the pristine beauty of a 14 kilometre stretch of Coral Sea beachfront with direct passage to the World Heritage listed "Great Barrier Reef". Sheltered by nearby Orpheus and Palm Islands, this idyllic seaside escape is a paradise! Located just a 90 minute drive from an International Airport and Australia's largest tropical city.

Forrest Beach is a growing family-friendly community north of Townsville and just 15 minutes east of the rural town of Ingham. This is one of the largest remaining freehold landholdings and very affordable. Adjacent to the beachfront, this highly accessible 4.48 hectares (almost 11 acres) is either the perfect private acreage hideaway or an incredible development opportunity. Potentially this land could be subdivided into more than 20 blocks to create a new beachside cul-de-sac. Get a group together and each build a tropical hideaway in this flood-free location or create multiple, large, lifestyle lots to sell in an area of strong growth.

How much growth? The past six years has seen consistent price growth for vacant land in Forrest Beach. In 2025 the median price rose by 32.4% and 2026 is on track to be even better, with record price growth expected. Coastal North Queensland has long been a popular holiday destination however at the moment hundreds of millions are being invested in tourism. An unprecedented surge in international visitation is already underway and is expected to grow in demand as the Brisbane Olympics near. This will be another driving factor for growth in this region

Zoned "Village" there are no current vegetation or environmental protections to discourage development. A town water connection is already in place and underground power is provided in adjacent streets. The potential of this subdivision is a limited time opportunity.
