Quail Island, Stanage QLD 4702

Your Own Private Island, 2.5km off Stanage Bay.


OFFERS CLOSING 22 OCTOBER 2026 VIA THE OPENN PLATFORM

Some properties offer a view. Quail Island offers a whole world of your own — 2.5 kilometres off the coast of Stanage Bay, roughly 170 kilometres north of Rockhampton, held on a Rolling Term Lease.

This is a rare chance to own an island: red-earth tablelands, volcanic soil, coastal plains, and 800 metres of private beach frontage below the 'Lucy Ravel' headland — all wrapped in the kind of privacy that no mainland acreage can match.

Getting There, Any Time You Like
Quail Island doesn't ask you to work around the tides. Three docking points give you boat access at both low and high tide, and an 800-metre earth/grass airstrip means you can fly in directly — cutting travel time to almost nothing. Remote doesn't have to mean hard to reach.

A Landscape That Does the Talking
The island moves through deep red earth tablelands and rich volcanic soil before settling into marine plains at the coast. Along the way: coastal eucalypt forest, stands of Narrow-Leaved Ironbark, striking black boy grass trees to the south-west, and tea-tree plains framing it all. To the north, Lancewood, Bendee and Rosewood complete the picture — a genuinely varied, genuinely wild landscape.

Built for the Land, Not Against It
96% of Quail Island remains pristine remnant vegetation. The remaining 4% has been thoughtfully improved with Forest Mitchell grass and Wynn Cassia legume, giving natural and enhanced pasture side by side. Bushfire and biodiversity overlays are already in place, so conservation and productivity aren't a trade-off here — they coexist.

The island itself does much of the fencing for you: two large paddocks, seven holding squares, and a laneway to the yards, all secured with steel posts, timber strainers, comprising a combination of hingejoint fencing and four-barbed wire.

Water You Don't Have to Worry About
Nine dams, a well, and creeks running across the island mean water security is built in, with reliable access spread throughout the property.
