Why Buy:
If you want to own a piece of heaven on a tropical island where you get a freehold title and only pay mainland council rates (fully serviced block with town water and sewerage) then you will seriously have to consider buying this perfectly level block of land. The block is located only 500 metres from the beach and is a short stroll down to the local IGA supermarket and the ferry terminal (just 1.5 km) if you dont want to jump on the bus that passes by your front door. You can build your own dream home, retire or semi retire, live on the island and commute to work on the mainland (only 20 minutes by high speed catamaran (17 departures from early morning to late at night) or simply treat this as a pure investment and run it as a holiday letting or permanent rental property.
Magnetic Island is a true paradise with only 2,500 people living on the island; most of the island (approx 85%) is World Heritage listed so you will always be living in a very tranquil and secluded location.
Nelly Bay is a large bay that has over a kilometre of beach. Centrally located you will find the Supermarket complex with Cafe, Travel Agency, Chemist, Bottle Shop and more. Nelly Bay’s long sandy beach has a fringing reef where you can go snorkelling by swimming from the beach. Nelly Bay is also home to the harbour development which offers a safe harbour for private and commercial vessels and is the hub and ferry terminal for the catamaran and car ferry to Townsville.
