Quail Island — A Private Island Estate Like No Other

Rarely does an opportunity of this magnitude come to market. Quail Island is an extraordinary private island holding set just 2.5 kilometres off the pristine coastline of Stanage Bay, approximately 170 kilometres north of Rockhampton — an utterly unique slice of Queensland that blends natural splendour, productive rural land, and limitless lifestyle potential.

Held on a Rolling Term Lease, this is your chance to own a world unto itself.

Seamless Island Access

Reaching your island sanctuary is effortless. Three dedicated docking points provide reliable boat access at both low and high tides, while an 800-metre earth and grass airstrip means you can land by aircraft and step straight into paradise — dramatically cutting travel time and keeping the outside world conveniently within reach.

A Landscape of Extraordinary Beauty

The island's terrain is as diverse as it is dramatic. Deep red earth tablelands and rich volcanic soils give way to coastal marine plains, all draped in a rich tapestry of native vegetation. Coastal Eucalypt forests, stands of Narrow-leaved Ironbark, striking Black Boys Grass Trees, and lush Tea-Tree plains define the south-west, while the northern reaches reveal Lancewood, Bendee, and Rosewood in a vibrant natural mosaic. With 96% of the island in pristine remnant vegetation, Quail Island is a haven for those who cherish conservation alongside lifestyle.

Productive Rural Infrastructure

The island is genuinely set up for agricultural operations. The ocean forms a natural boundary, with the land internally divided into two large paddocks and seven holding squares, connected by a dedicated laneway to the yards. Fencing throughout features steel posts, timber strainers, and four-barbed wire construction — built to last.

Water security is robust, with nine dams, a freshwater well, and traversing creeks ensuring reliable supply across the entire property.

Quality Improvements Ready for Your Vision

A spacious two-level homestead serves as the primary residence, complemented by a newly built two-bedroom steel-frame manager's residence (completed December 2025) and a brand-new machinery shed (also December 2025). Two additional versatile sheds and two sets of cattle yards — including a second set on the western side — round out a well-equipped rural holding.

Perched atop the picturesque Lucy Ravel headland with sweeping 360-degree views over the beach below, a charming second residence awaits transformation — an exceptional canvas for boutique guest accommodation or a private retreat.
