22 Timothy Street, Macleay Island QLD 4184

Near-new build | east-side position | dual-living layout | bay glimpses | island lifestyle This property occupies a rare position in Macleay Island’s market as a near-new home with a genuinely flexible floor plan. The separate downstairs rumpus with bathroom, kitchenette, and deck functions as an independent living space, making it suitable for extended family, guest accommodation, or rental income supplementation. The upstairs open-plan design and wraparound balconies capture elevated bay views and natural light, while the 27% building coverage on an 809m² block leaves room for landscaping or future additions. For buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance coastal living with separation of spaces, this house offers a configuration not commonly found in this price bracket on the island. The flood overlay is the primary risk and should be verified through council flood mapping and insurance quotes before proceeding. The quiet, elevated eastern side position partially mitigates this, and no bushfire or heritage constraints apply. Rental estimates around $635 per week suggest reasonable yield potential for an investor, though the island’s resale market remains thin and holding periods may be longer than mainland equivalents. The property suits a buyer who values lifestyle, space, and dual-living functionality over rapid capital growth, and who is comfortable with island-specific trade-offs in connectivity and amenity.
