28 Saint James Drive, Jubilee Pocket QLD 4802

Large flat block with private gate | 4-car & 90m² shed for boats | Builder’s own high-spec home | 2-min to Airlie Beach centre | 13.2kW solar & water security. This property presents a competitively strong offering due to its rare combination of scale, quality, and location. The 1203m² flat block with extensive shedding and four-car capacity directly serves buyers requiring substantial utility space, a segment underserved in this market. Its position as the builder’s own residence signals above-standard finishes and construction. The configuration is ideal for a large family seeking privacy and space, or an owner-occupier with significant vehicle, workshop, or lifestyle storage needs, all within a very short commute to the main tourist centre. The primary decision rests on valuing its premium improvements against the land component. The significant internal area and high-quality inclusions command a price point well above the basic land value, as seen in the local comparable sale. This creates a price resilience tied to owner-occupier demand for turnkey quality, but may compress yield for an investor. The absence of overlays mitigates regulatory risk. Acquire for long-term owner-occupation to fully capitalise on its bespoke build and utility; as a rental, the premium specification may not be fully captured in the local rental market. A recent comparable sale on the same street provides context: a house on 851m² of land sold for $880,000. This property, with approximately 40% more land and a significantly larger, builder-quality residence, justifies its higher valuation. The price differential reflects the premium for both additional land and superior improvements.
