Description
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a secluded island paradise along Queensland’s rugged coastline. Just 2.5 km northwest of Stanage Bay and approximately 170 km north of Rockhampton, Quail Island spans 911 hectares (approx. 4,818 acres) presenting unparalleled potential for rural living, eco-tourism, or conservation.
Access is effortless via boat at any tide through three docking points or by air via the island’s 800m grass airstrip. The diverse landscape ranges from volcanic red-earth tablelands and fertile marine plains to coastal Eucalypt forests, Ironbark groves, and the iconic Grass Trees of the southwest. Approximately 96% of the island retains pristine remnant vegetation, with 4% carefully improved to support Forest Mitchell and Wynn Cassia pastures.
Designed for functionality and scale, the island features robust steel-and-timber fencing across two main paddocks, seven holding squares, and a laneway leading to two sets of cattle yards. Nine dams, a freshwater well, and seasonal creeks provide reliable water across the property.
Improvements include a two-level homestead atop the stunning Lucy Ravel headland, a manager’s residence, three sheds, and two additional dwellings ideal for renovation or guest use. With spectacular 360-degree views, privacy, and rich biodiversity, this is a rare island holding that offers the perfect blend of lifestyle, productivity, and natural wonder.
Whether you’re a lifestyle buyer, tourism operator, agri-investor, or conservationist, Quail Island stands as a truly extraordinary asset in coastal Central Queensland.
