The Esplanade Escape

Welcome to 31 Kooringal Esplanade. Not just a home, but a legacy.

A place where memories have been made, sunsets have been savoured, and life has been lived slowly, surrounded by nature and the sea.

Set on a beautifully maintained 607m² block directly opposite the calm waters of Days Gutter, this rare waterfront property offers the kind of island lifestyle most only dream about.

It offers lush tropical gardens, complete privacy, water views from both levels, and a home that’s been lovingly held by the same family for over three decades.

This home is one of the original prestige homes on the Esplanade. This landmark residence is more than just a property – it’s a feeling. One of stillness. Of space. Of waking to the sound of the sea and falling asleep with the breeze drifting through open doors.

Now, this beloved island home is ready for its next chapter.

The Home

Designed with care and intention for relaxed coastal living, this light-filled, two-level home flows effortlessly from indoors to out. Every space connects back to nature with sea breezes, leafy water views, and soft light pouring through the windows.

From golden hour drinks to barefoot dinners under the stars, this is a home made for connection with loved ones, with the land, and with a slower way of life.

The Location

Set along the prestigious Kooringal Esplanade, this home holds one of the most tightly held and admired positions on Moreton Island.

Just metres from your front gate, the calm, glassy waters of Days Gutter offer safe mooring for boats and jet skis, and a shoreline perfect for swimming, snorkelling, fishing or simply floating as the sun sets. The iconic Gutter Bar is just a short stroll away. A local spot for stories and laidback island hospitality.

Getting here is all part of the experience. You can arrive by private boat as its just 26km from Manly or 28km from Cleveland via the scenic Rous Channel. Or enjoy a true 4WD adventure via the MICAT barge. The barge departs from the Port of Brisbane and delivers you to Tangalooma Wrecks in around 90 minutes. From there, the journey to Kooringal is part of the magic via the Western Track or Eastern Beach, both offering breathtaking views and a taste of the untouched island landscape.

Kooringal is one of Queensland’s most tightly held island communities. There are no mains services. No sealed roads. Just solar, sea breezes, and a rhythm that runs entirely on nature, simplicity, and connection.

It’s the kind of place where everyone knows your name (or respects your space if that’s what you prefer). A place you never forget and always want to return to. The kind of place people only leave when they absolutely have to, and dream about coming back to ever after.

The Lifestyle

From the moment you step through the gate, you’ll feel it. That subtle shift. The pace slows. The air softens. You’re not just arriving at a house. You’re arriving at a way of life.

Wake early and wander across the sandy track for a morning swim. Cast a line for dinner without ever leaving the block. Read a book in the hammock, walk barefoot to the Gutter Bar, or unwind with a drink on the deck as the sun melts into the sea.

This is the kind of place where mornings begin barefoot, afternoons are for boating or exploring, and evenings are best spent under a sky full of stars.

It’s more than an escape. It’s a return to what matters.

The Opportunity

This property isn’t just a lifestyle move – it’s a strategic one.

With limited supply, growing demand and the irreplaceable nature of a true waterfront block, this home is as smart an investment as it is an emotional one.

• Only current waterfront home on Kooringal Esplanade
• Rarely offered, tightly held for over thirty years
• Premium position with water views and beach access metres away
• Strong potential as a high-end holiday rental or legacy family retreat
• Fully self-sufficient infrastructure with low ongoing costs
• Exceptional long-term capital growth in one of the island’s most exclusive pockets
• No new land, no roads, no services – just pure, unfiltered island magic
• Ideal for sea-changers, families, retirees, or investors seeking something truly special

Whether you hold, holiday, lease or live, this property offers the kind of return you can measure in both dollars and memories.

The Dream

Properties like this don’t come to market often, and when they do, they’re rarely offered in such a loved and tightly held condition.

Whether you’re drawn by the unbeatable location, the investment potential, or the quiet magic of Kooringal’s lifestyle, this is a home that needs to be felt to be fully understood.

This is your chance to carry on a legacy and make it your own.
