Investors Flock To Shute Harbour Marina Resort

The new $1.75 million land and berth packages at Shute Harbour Marina Resort have proved popular among a mixture of veteran boating enthusiast, first-time boat owners, or future retirees who have been among the 520 individuals who have expressed their interest in the new development this month.

Rob Taylor from Taylor’s Property Specialists said that the immediate market response to the resort has been incredible.

“We knew we had something special on our hands here, but we have been simply inundated with genuine interest – it’s been a whirlwind,” he said.

“We’re already in the process of converting many of these enquiries into contracts for our future Shute Harbour Marina Resort residents - many of these buyers have been long awaiting a marina project of this calibre to arrive in the area.”

Construction of the first stage of Shute Harbour Marina Resort is due to commence within 12 months and is expected to take two years to complete.

Once complete, the site will encompass a world-class 395-berth marina with individual berths ranging from 10m to 30m on a 99-year lease and private berths ranging from 25m to 45m.

The project will also deliver 58 freehold land allotments; a 100-plus room resort hotel, including function and meeting rooms, bars, restaurants, swimming pool and undercover parking; and 100 managed apartments with resort club facilities.

Land-and-berth prices start from $1.75 million. Expressions of interest are also being taken on future stages which will include marina loft apartments and plaza terrace homes.
