McEwing and Partners director Dean Phillips said it was difficult to find private beaches for sale “anywhere in Australia”.

“A chance to own the sand on a private beach is the reality of what’s on title here,” Mr Phillips said.

“It’s a very unique offering with gorgeous views and absolutely no foot traffic nearby.”

The modern house has recently been renovated.

The ultimate beach house kitchen.

North-facing windows bring in plenty of light.

He said the modern four-bedroom house was in a “magical location”, set in an exclusive street shared by just three other tightly held houses.

“All the houses have been held by families for generations … some have been passed down for up to 80 years,” he said.

“This property was built about 10 years ago by a high-end peninsula builder and his fabulous stylist wife. The property had been in the family for a very long time.”

A private deck right by the sand is the perfect spot.

There are treetop views from the first floor.

Four bedrooms are at the house.

Renovations have added high-quality finishes, including a new kitchen with stone waterfall benchtops, a DeLonghi gas stove and coastal pendant light shades. It’s connected to a north-facing living room with a fireplace, and a theatre and games room are upstairs.

The large backyard includes a self-cleaning pool, sleek undercover terrace with a barbecue zone and an outdoor shower.

If the beach wasn’t enough, there’s a pool too.

Entertain with a built-in barbecue and fridge.

The holiday haven is complete with four huge bedrooms and three luxe bathrooms across two levels.

Mr Phillips said the property was expected to attract plenty of interest from those looking for a “holiday home on the peninsula that’s a little bit different to those in more suburban settings”.

The retreat is for private sale.

Own your own award-winning island, oyster shucking optional

Pumpkin Island hit the market on Thursday for the first time in 17 years with a price tag of $25m.

A renowned island has hit the market for just the second time since 1961, with an optional oyster licence so guests can shuck to their hearts’ content fresh off the rocks.

Stunning scenery across the island.

There are two oceanfront bungalows and five self-contained guest cottages.

Pumpkin Island hit the market on Thursday for the first time in 17 years with a price tag of $25m. Two years ago it was named Australia’s most sustainable hotel at the World Boutique Hotel Awards, and became the first to offset 150 per cent of its annual greenhouse gas emissions, according to agents Pat O’Driscoll and Deborah Cullen of Knight Frank Australia – Sydney.

The island comes with a 36-passenger boat.

There is a licensed bar and lounge as well.

“Incredibly, this is only the second time Pumpkin Island has come to the market and the second time since 1961, with the last sale being in 2003,” was how they described it.

The island in The Keppels, is 20 minutes by boat from the famous Great Keppel Island, both located off the coast of Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast in Central Queensland.

It was described as a “once in a lifetime opportunity”.

Breathtaking spot to get away from it all.

According to Knight Frank, the oyster lease belongs to the owner and “can be sold with the island allowing guests to shuck their own oysters off the rocks”.

The island comes with a boutique eco-tourist resort that can take 34 guests, with five self-contained cottages, two oceanfront bungalows, staff quarters, a manager’s cottage, double storey lookout building, and a licensed bar and lounge function venue.

The resort opened to guests in 1964, and comes with a children’s playground, two registered moorings, a helicopter landing pad and a custom-built 36-passenger boat.
