A PRIVATE island on the NSW South Coast is offering potential buyers a chance to develop flexible land in one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations.
The privately-owned Burraga Island spans approximately 122-hectares on the Shoalhaven River, near Nowra, Jervis Bay, Berry, the Kangaroo Valley and a number of wineries.
The freehold land offers ample development potential with its RU1 Primary Production zoning clearing the way for a multitude of uses including an eco-tourism sky-view pod resort, outdoor recreational facilities, an 18-hole golf course or an inland aqua theme park.
Steam Leung, Joseph Lin, Simon Kersten and Taleah Thomas from Colliers have been exclusively appointed to market the island via an expressions of interest campaign.
“It is such a rare opportunity to purchase this unique land offering with massive potential for recreational development,” said Lin.
“Owning an island two- hours from Sydney is like a dream come true for many people who wish to be the new King or Queen of the island. The successful landlord, the future ‘Monarch’-to-be can decide to keep the tranquil character of the land or to host tourists after the development.”
The offering also includes a single-storey four-bedroom dwelling, an on-site caretaker, dock and private barge with a loading capacity of 48 tonnes and 24-hour access.
Additional there is an on-site sewer disposal system, power supply and both a telephone landline and ADSL broadband connection.
A two-hour drive from the Sydney CBD, Burraga Island is also connected to surrounding regions via easily accessible transport links, such as Bomaderry Train Station, with Nowra Airport just 40-minutes away.
The expressions of interest campaign for Burraga Island is scheduled to close on October 20 2022.
