There are sweeping views through Port Curtis and back to Gladstone and The Great Barrier Reef, Lady Musgrave, Heron Island, and Great Keppel Island are a comfortable motor ride away

“Given that Turtle Island is located at the Southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, it has one of the seven wonders of the natural world at its doorstep” said Emily Fan of Colliers International, who is selling the island with colleague Matthew Meynell on behalf of Phoenix Avoca Pty Limited ATF Phoenix Avoca Trust.

“The Southern Great Barrier Reef is home to what is considered to be one of the top dive and snorkelling sites in the world, dotted with impressive coral caves and reefs that are only a stone’s throw away from the coast.

“While it may feel you are worlds away when you are on Turtle Island, it is extremely accessible being just 4 kilometres from the town of Gladstone. From Gladstone, you then have the option of taking a ferry, helicopter, or your own private boat to Turtle Island in just 10 minutes.

“Gladstone offers an array of fine dining and entertaining options if you ever feel like stepping away from Turtle Island” she continued.

The property also includes 15 large water tanks, vehicle accessibility via a car barge, two dams and phone reception connectivity.

The weather is exceptional year round on Turtle Island with an average of 19- 28 degrees Celsius.
