Description
Introducing Utingu, considered the most important freehold landholdings in the upper Cape York region and is unencumbered by native title. It is an 88-hectare oceanfront property situated 18 kilometres from the northernmost point of the Australian mainland with island-like exclusivity. Yet it is in proximity to land, air and sea transportation and support services. The 440 sqm Utingu Lodge has four guest suites along with a commercial kitchen, banquet dining, laundry and storage facilities. DA approvals are in place for additional buildings and facilities backed by existing infrastructure. Given its significant land footprint and its strategic equatorial location, there are opportunities for a diversity of capabilities and tenancies in the space, defence, and surveillance sectors. The Utingu vendors have used the property as a private retreat for over two decades. Now, with ages and stages, the time has come to pass Utingu to the next generation of explorers. Properties like Utingu come around once in a lifetime and offer the chance to create an invaluable asset. For more information, please call Lynn Malone at +61 408 772 880.
