Escape to your very own private island paradise with the extraordinary opportunity to own Rosewood Island on a Rolling Term Lease. This rare gem lies just 750 * metres from the mainland, 20 radial kilometres from Saint Lawrence, and approximately 190 kilometres south of Mackay—secluded yet easily accessible.
Rosewood Island is entirely self-sufficient, boasting five dams, rainwater collection, and solar power. Anglers will also appreciate the island’s ample fishing opportunities, from sheltered inlets to surrounding open waters.
The Island features scattered pockets of Brigalow scrub, False Sandalwood, Currant Bush, and occasional Yellowwood. Additionally, there are areas of mature Narrow-leaved Ironbark, Grey Ironbark, Cabbage Gum, Pink Bloodwood, Moreton Bay Ash, and Poplar Gum woodlands, along with occasional patches of Tea Tree with the Island surrounded by mangroves.
These vegetated areas are surrounded by low-lying alluvial plains influenced by tidal movement, creating a diverse and ecologically rich landscape that blends native woodland with coastal lowlands grassed with salt couch.
Improvements elevate the offering even further: a spacious homestead with two separate accommodation areas, additional cottage, three sheds, hangar, and portable cattle yards.
