Introducing Utingu, a rare and precious gem, with a rich history that has only five owners since it was freehold-titled in the early 1900s. It is considered the most important landholding in the Cape York region and has no native title or liquor license restrictions.

Utingu is an 88-hectare oceanfront property located 18 kilometres from Australia's northernmost point. Its island-like exclusivity is unparalleled complemented by easy access to mainland services, land/sea/air transportation, and staff.

The Utingu Lodge offers comfortable accommodations for eight guests, with three extra bedrooms in the Machinery building. Development Application approvals have been secured for a multi-structure eco-resort, and the infrastructure is in place to fast-track the project. Given its significant land size and strategic location, there are opportunities to explore aerospace and defence industry uses, hydroelectricity, and gas field projects without compromising the privacy of The Utingu Lodge.

At Utingu, time seems to slow down to enjoy simple pleasures and adventures. Start the day with a cup of coffee while immersed in the sights, sounds, and aromas of nature. Go fishing to catch the day's next meal, explore remote rainforests, and soak up the inherent beauty of Utingu. As the sun sets, you can retreat to a hidden haven between the Lodge and the beachfront. With an iced beverage in hand and the warmth of a roaring campfire, be mesmerized by the moonlight dancing on the sea. Afterwards, the dinner bell summons for a seafood feast prepared by the resident chef, before retiring to bed with a happy and grateful heart. The current Utingu custodians have enjoyed this blissful experience for over two decades. Now, with ages and stages, the time has come to pass Utingu to a new generation.
