4.8 ACRES BEACHFRONT
MURRAY'S BAY is a secluded rocky bay on Cape Edgecumbe, only 7 minutes from Bowen Post office. The home with pool is exquisitely private. This property has outstanding potential for a resort or for apartment development.

The site has broad frontage to Murray's Bay Road, and has a small common boundary with the second freehold property. The remaining large boundaries adjoin the reserve, with it's beautiful coastal vegetation including Pandanus and Ironbark species and abundant wildlife.

An eco-resort style development would captivate the imagination of the world for it's natural and beautiful surroundings.
Subject to the owner's decisions from time to time the adjoining property may also be available allowing a truly unique combination, if the additional space were required.
Aside from development, the home is a very well appointed three bedroom lowset residence, with three bathrooms and a studio suitable for crafts and hobbies.
Bathrooms are opulent and bedrooms are oversized and cool. The living area gives way, through the mostly glass walls, to the wide, shady and always cool verandahs that overlook the endlessly changing marine vista.
The in-ground pool is private and has beautiful landscaping consistent with the surrounding rocky seascape.
Both a double carport on the house and very large 3-bay shed are a great combination.
Access to the residence is via a wide concrete paved driveway, where wash-outs will not worry you!
To inspect by appointment only. A Sustainability Declaration may be viewed at our office.
A copy of the Sustainability Declaration for this property is available from the agents office.
