Last Listing description (February 2026)
This rare offering presents a truly outstanding opportunity-one of a kind in the Cairns market.
Situated in the historic fishing village of Machans Beach, this tightly held suburb was long regarded as a fisherman's retreat and holiday shack destination. Today, it is rapidly gentrifying while remaining largely undiscovered by southern investors.
The main residence, a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with parking for 3-vehicles, is elevated and designed to capture both views and breezes. A second dwelling-the former Sea Scouts boatshed-remains largely in original condition and represents a significant opportunity for renovation and reinvention, offering strong potential for passive income.
Property Highlights:
Expansive Landholding: 1,633m of cleared land, ideal for investment.
Premium Waterfront Position: A private and highly desirable block with captivating water views.
Direct Marine Access: Immediate access to the Coral Sea via the nearby boat ramp-perfect for boating, fishing, and swimming. Notably, this location is positioned before any bridges, allowing unrestricted access for yachts and larger vessels.
Natural Surroundings: Enjoy the Barron River, sandy beaches, walking trails, and abundant marine life right on your doorstep.
Village Lifestyle: A welcoming, close-knit community with local cafs, shops, and friendly neighbours-plus the advantage of being the closest beachside suburb to Cairns City.
This is a rare chance to secure an exceptional river view property and embrace the boating lifestyle you've always dreamed of.
