Nathan Huxham of RWC Burleigh Group has launched 528-546 River Heads Road and Lot 124 Bowarrady Court, River Heads to the market, an extraordinary 115Ha* landholding known as “Turtle Cove.”
Spanning two substantial titles and positioned 7km* from Hervey Bay Airport and just 9.4km from the Hervey Bay CBD, the site offers sweeping water views over the Great Sandy Strait toward the World Heritage-listed Fraser Island, making it one of the region’s most compelling coastal development opportunities.
Currently zoned Low Density Residential, Open Space and Environment Conservation and Management, the property is well underway in the rezoning process toward full Low Density Residential use.
Within the 115Ha*, approximately 33Ha* has been identified as developable land, supported by a council-engineered concept plan for a 148-lot residential subdivision, which is set to be lodged with SARA for approval. Turtle Cove is also serviced by town water, providing further readiness for future development.
Nathan Huxham said the property includes a significant 62Ha* area of Environment Conservation and Management land, offering an estimated offset value of up to $12.6 million, providing substantial upside for the incoming purchaser.
“Turtle Cove is an incredibly rare offering - the scale, the water views, and the proximity to Hervey Bay make it one of the most compelling sites to hit the market in years. Opportunities like this simply don’t come along very often, Mr Huxham said.
“With a substantial developable footprint and a clear concept plan for 148 lots, developers will immediately recognise the potential. The offset value adds yet another layer of opportunity that strengthens the commercial appeal of the site.”
Mr Huxham also highlighted the region’s strong growth trajectory: “We’re seeing a real surge in demand for lifestyle-driven coastal communities, and Turtle Cove is perfectly positioned to become a landmark residential precinct for the Fraser Coast region.”
This exceptional landholding is being offered via Expressions of Interest, closing on Thursday, 11 December at 4:00 pm, with inspections available strictly by appointment only.
