Opportunities of this scale in Clifton Beach are exceptionally hard to come by.
Set across a substantial 7,128m parcel in one of Cairns' most tightly held coastal precincts, this is a genuine chance to secure a significant landholding in the heart of the Northern Beaches. With the coastline to the east and protected natural surrounds framing the corridor, developable land of this size is becoming increasingly scarce.
Positioned just 500 metres from the shoreline, the property enjoys the best of Clifton Beach's relaxed coastal lifestyle-quiet, established and community-focused-while remaining only moments from the cafs, restaurants and resort amenity of Palm Cove and the convenience of Clifton Village Shopping Centre.
Backing onto a lush rainforest setting, the site offers a rare natural backdrop that delivers privacy, tropical character and a sense of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
With direct access from a main thoroughfare and a generous footprint, the property presents a compelling canvas for a range of future outcomes (STCA), including:
Boutique townhouse development
Low-density residential units
Private lifestyle estate or luxury residential enclave
Whether your vision is boutique residential, land subdivision or a premium lifestyle project, the flexibility and positioning of this site make it one of the more compelling development opportunities currently available in the Northern Beaches market.
There are currently no development approvals in place. All future development outcomes are subject to Cairns Regional Council approval.
Rarely does a parcel of this scale become available this close to the beach in Clifton Beach. Secure your foothold in one of Cairns' most desirable coastal suburbs and capitalise on a location where future land supply remains inherently limited.
