If you wanted to be any closer to the ocean you'll have to be on a boat. This 3 bedroom apartment is located on the very private harbor entrance, front corner, ground floor. There are two verandas, with the front having magnificent open ocean views looking directly out over Cleveland Bay and across to the lights of Townsville 6 miles away. The harbor side veranda with it's exclusive use side yard is sheltered from the prevailing SE winds and great to relax on when to windy out the front. It has 180 degree views taking in the ocean, harbor and Mount Cook. The noise from ferries and other vessels is absorbed by the harbor's bolder walls making this a delightful spot to watch passing vessels and enjoy the company of the friendly resident Wallabies. With the side veranda being open to the yard, the wallabies will hop up right next to you to munch on a carrot whilst you enjoy an afternoon beer or wine. The gated, short separating fence between the side and front yards was put in place to keep two Dachshund's away from the neighbors when a permanent residence and can be removed to totally open up the largest private use yard area in the complex. Owners are permitted to keep one pet with a second allowed on request. Catch a fish or crayfish on your doorstep and each year watch the whales. Stag Horn and other corals make for great snorkeling at the base of the front rock wall on a calm day. The locked harbor entrance side gate in your private yard makes this the only unit in the complex with direct access to the harbor side walkway, providing a far more pleasant 2 minute walk to the ferry terminal, buses, restaurants, shops etc.
Inside this secure gated complex for your use, there's a gym and 4 spectacular pools, one roof top and 3 ocean front. You'll absolutely love Bright Point and Magnetic Island. The video which may not show on all real-estate platforms gives you a 15 minute thorough walk through. To view, search on YouTube "Bright Point apartment 4101, Nelly Bay, Magnetic Island".
