A large piece of land on Gladstone’s turtle rehab island has hit the property market for a cool $1.95 million.
Private Islands Australia has listed the north-facing portion of Quoin Island as one of Australia’s “best kept island secrets” located five kilometres off the coast of Gladstone.
The portion on sale is 12 acres (the total island is 30 acres) and is situated on the far northern end of the island away from the Quoin Island Retreat and Turtle Rehabilitation Centre. The northern part of Quoin Island is for sale.
Island and Resort Specialist Richard Vanhoff said Quoin island was originally owned entirely by one family and the remaining lot was still in the family.
