2 Arno Terrace, Bentley Park QLD 4869

Elevated hilltop position | rare 224sqm floorplan | dual living zones | tenanted through Feb 2027 The property’s primary advantage is its elevation and floorplan — a 224-square-metre internal layout with two separate living areas is uncommon in this price band and gives a family genuine separation of space. The 7-metre tiled patio extends the living area outward, capturing the cooling breezes that make the Cairns climate tolerable. For a buyer seeking a hold-and-rent strategy, the existing tenancy until February 2027 removes vacancy risk and provides immediate cashflow at $700 per week, which aligns with the suburb’s 4.5% rental yield. The master suite with walk-in robe and double-shower ensuite adds owner-occupier appeal for later. The bushfire potential impact buffer is the main risk — it may affect insurance premiums and could be flagged by lenders. The NBN is Fibre to the Node, not fibre to the premises, which matters for heavy home-office users. The price per square metre around $1,091 is reasonable for the floor area but the suburb is still establishing its resale depth; Bentley Park has grown 11.8% but remains a secondary Cairns market. The opportunity is to hold for the tenancy period, then reassess for owner-occupation or a refinance once equity builds. This is a buy-and-hold property for a patient investor, not a flip.
