Gladstone Harbour QLD 4680

Rarely do properties become available in this exclusive (22) property community located on Gatcombe Headland on the southern end of Facing Island and this particular property boasts 270?? panoramic ocean views of the Coral Sea from south to Point Richard, east out and beyond the Fairway Buoy and west across the entrance of Gladstone harbor to Tannum Sands/Boyne Island.
When visiting the island, several of the residents choose to moor their craft in the safety of the manmade boat harbor and park their 4 wheel drive vehicles nearby. The Gatcombe community is also accessible by barge to Farmer's Point then driving down the eastern foreshore on low tide or up the middle of the island (weather permitting). Services to the Gatcombe community include Gladstone Regional Council removal of rubbish, a community Fire Brigade unit, and a helipad for emergencies.
Swimming, fishing, crabbing, boating, sailing, driving and walking while exploring the island are just some of the favourite past-times of Gatcombe Heads' residents. The western beaches/mangroves/mudflats, etc are a fisherman's paradise if you like catching crabs and prawns plus the eastern beaches provide a wide variety of reef fish including some excellent whiting fishing. Alternatively you may just wish to sit back and relax with a good book in the cool of the covered wrap around front verandah of this home and occasionally take in a bird's eye view of the larger commercial vessels travelling closeby as they make their way in and out of Gladstone Harbour.
The highset hardiplank on block constructed dwelling is set on an 809m2 elevated allotment and can provide all your creature comforts with power from two generators, solar hotwater system, septic tank, gas bottles, and 2 x 2000 gallon water tanks with electric water pump.
