86 Gloucester Avenue, Hideaway Bay QLD 4800

beachfront rarity | 800m² lot | solar + water self-sufficiency | guest apartment potential | 16 days on market The property occupies an 800m² beachfront lot with direct shoreline access, a configuration rarely available in Hideaway Bay. Its self-contained lower level, subject to council approval, offers genuine dual-living or rental income potential, which strengthens its position for families or investors. The combination of full solar, grey water, and a 100,000-litre water supply reduces ongoing utility exposure, a tangible advantage in a coastal climate. The house suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance holiday retreat or permanent residence with room for extended family, without the density of Airlie Beach. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays removes regulatory friction, but the property’s 16-day market presence suggests no immediate price pressure, giving buyers time to negotiate. The enclosed lower space’s conversion risk lies entirely in council approvals, which are not guaranteed. The lot’s 34% site coverage leaves limited expansion scope, and the suburb’s low density means limited resale comparables, making valuation less transparent. A buyer should verify the lower level’s legal status and inspect for any structural or coastal erosion concerns.
