Island & Resort Commercial Property

With an $80 million lottery up for grabs on Thursday night there’s an important question we all must ask ourselves: could I buy and live on my own private island?

There’s still a chance to get your very own private island just off the coast of the Mornington Peninsula.

Queensland’s disparate resort ­island owners are amping up their redevelopment plans for their properties.

A private island off the Mornington Peninsula coast could make life a beach for a buyer who seas-es the opportunity at auction this month. 

The international cryptocurrency consortium eyeing Dunk Island also has Brampton Island and a New Zealand ski resort in its sights, after publicly failing in its bid to acquire Great Keppel.

The international cryptocurrency consortium underbidder on Great Keppel Island is now attempting to buy Dunk Island with several other islands also igniting its interest including Brampton Island off the Queensland sugar town of Mackay.

Tasmania is starting to attract island resort developers and operators, albeit on a much smaller scale than Queensland.

The Singapore and Taiwanese family of high-net-worth individuals buying Queensland’s Great Keppel Island will pay about $70 million to purchase the second half of the island’s staged development, known as the Clam Bay lease, from Sydney developer Terry Agnew.

The hype surrounding the relaunch of several high-profile Queensland islands early next year is expected to underpin the marketing of Long Island, which has a price expectation of about $20 million.
