New Developments on Hamilton Island
Protecting Hamilton Island is one of our highest priorities. More than 70 percent of the Island remains preserved as natural bushland, even though it is the largest resort island in the Whitsundays. The Island and surrounds are home to a unique and beautiful array of flora, fauna, birds, mammals, and reptiles.
It is therefore crucial to the island's survival that future developments are undertaken in line with our environmental credentials and philosophy, and are designed to minimise local impact while maximising our world-renowned island lifestyle.
There is currently one new development on Hamilton Island at Hidden Cove and a number of planning options and permission have been granted for some exclusive luxury developments on Dent Island. At present, no dates have been set for these developments.
Hidden Cove is the first development on Hamilton Island since 2007 and has completely sold within a short period of time.
It features 22 medium-density properties with 14 properties ranging from four bedroom apartments to four bedroom homes, right on the water's edge, available for holiday rentals.
During the construction period over the past three years, we have witnessed a 26% price growth with a two bedroom apartment trading hands during this period. This projects commands outstanding water and island views with a 28m wet edge pool that leads onto a lawn and beach area of the development. It is like a resort within a resort.
There is nothing quite like Hidden Cove anywhere else on the Island. It is a low-impact project set into and around one of the best spots in the Whitsundays, with award-winning building designer, Burleigh Designs, specialists in syncing with the Queensland environment, at its helm.
Beautifully private, each rooftop is at least four meters below any behind it on the sloping land and the views are long and uninterrupted out over Dent Passage. Hidden Cove is the next level of development on the island.
Planning approvals are in place to develop neighbouring Dent Island and we are looking at potential residences on the island, including an apartment complex, a luxury hotel and exclusive home enclave.
Dent Island currently houses the 18-hole championship Hamilton Island Golf Club, a $30 million investment designed by Peter Thomson, arguably Australia's greatest golfer, and which opened in 2009.
The Island has substantial infrastructure in place, including a $1.8 million pipeline installed between Hamilton Island and Dent Island to supply power, water and utilities to the Golf Club.
With a diverse offering of land available to be developed on Hamilton Island, there is great opportunity to invest and build your dream home. Lots range from $600,000 to multi millions dependant on size and position. With such a finite amount of undeveloped land available on the island, makes for land banking now and developing when the time is right for you. Design your personalised home with a choice of experienced architects that have history on the island that understands the tropics with clever designs. Hamilton Island Enterprises will guide you with the process and are more than helpful to achieve your dream residence.
