21 Opal Street, Port Douglas QLD 4877
Detached house, 821 m² land, 4 bed 3 bath pool study workshop | Port Douglas residential pocket, school catchment | Family or lifestyle buyer focus | Low-set, 3 m elevation, 31% building coverage.
This is a genuinely rare configuration for Port Douglas, where much of the visible stock leans toward compact resort units or townhouses. A 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached house with an in-ground pool, dedicated study, workshop, and rumpus room on 821 m² positions it as a family or permanent-lifestyle property rather than a holiday let. The 258 m² building footprint with deck, courtyard, and outdoor entertainment space supports year-round tropical living, and the school catchment for Port Douglas State School adds practical appeal for owner-occupiers. It serves buyers seeking space, privacy, and a functional floor plan over the transient holiday-market product common in the suburb.
The low ground elevation of 3 m may warrant attention, though no flood overlay was detected, so it is a caution rather than a red flag. The estimated weekly rent of $985 against a $982,000 value implies a gross yield near 5.2%, which is respectable for a higher-value house and suggests genuine rental demand. Building coverage at 31% leaves room for future extension or a shed, but the lack of a construction year means condition and maintenance history should be verified in person. Presentation, pool condition, and the quality of the workshop and study fit-out may influence final price more than land size alone.

Market Insight
Port Douglas (4877) is a premium coastal market where houses are outperforming units. Demand is led by local buyers, semi-retirees, families, and business owners housing staff; buyers prefer private blocks, pets, and no body corporate. Median house price is $1.2m, with annual growth of 20.3–33.1%, listings down up to 30% year-on-year and sales volume around 50. Units remain subdued, at a $390k median with annual falls of 2.5–4.2%; gross yields are 4.7% for houses versus 7.6% for units. Tourism recovery and limited long-term rental supply are lifting buyer activity. Principal risks are rate rises reaching Far North Queensland after about a year, and affordability constraints, as incomes sit below the regional average.
