A unique stretch of coastal paradise should be a bargain at no more than $ 38,500, but closing a sale can be more difficult than it seems.
The ocean block on Wedge Island in South Australia has been on the market last month, but on the basis of earlier sale of island of Real Estate can be another year without a new owner, said sales agent Corey Carbone, by Harris Real Estate.
“It’s a strange one,” Mr Carbone said about the great allocation of 1351m² on Lot 91 The Lookout.
“We get a lot of questions at that price – I would say between five and 15 questions per week.
Wedge Island Property, The Lookout, On Lot 91 the market hit the market with an asking price from $ 35k to $ 38.5k.

The building is only accessible via boat or plane.
“But nobody knows where Wedge Island is. They say:” Can I take my caravan with me “or” can I take my dogs with me ” – and the answer is always no, it’s an island, that’s not how this works.
“So although it is attractive to think that you can get a piece of island for nothing for nothing … Logistics can be scary.”
The robust and remote Wedge Island is the largest of the Gambier Islands, located at the entrance of Spencer Gulf, halfway between the Eyre and Yorke peninsula.
Lot 91 is one of the 114 homes on the island of 10m², but Mr. Carbone said that there were only eight houses so far.
Only accessible by boat or plane – with chartered flights from Parafield or Port Lincoln that cost around $ 1500 returns – he said that building a required materials and transactions for the island will be brought to the island by inside.
But without restrictions on the style of the house-on condition that the off-grid and self-sufficient was the time to complete the build, the new owner could relax and perhaps pitch a tent to camp on the block in the meantime, Mr Carbone said.
He said that while most homes on the island were holiday homes-with a lot available as a short-term rental-permanent stay on the island, with Port Lincoln supermarkets that could facilitate.
Chartered flights depart from Parafield or Port Lincoln and cost around $ 1500 returns.
There are only eight houses on the island.
Mr. Carbone said the island offered an idyllic lifestyle.
“Nothing goes above. Fishing is great,” he said.
“It is a small piece of paradise that not many people are really aware of and cliffside are (plot 91) has phenomenal panoramic views and is only a short walk to the beach.
“I would call it a bargain for (the mentioned price guide of) $ 35,000 (up to $ 38,500) for a block on an island that you can all have for yourself and is absolutely beautiful.
“And the logistics (of building) is not as bad as they look. It is really a no-brainer.”
There are currently four other land packages mentioned on realestate.com.au for sale on Wedge Island, priced from $ 29,000 to $ 75,900.

Former NSW Prime Minister Kristina Kennally bought a house on the water on Scotland in 2017, while billionaire Tech Guru Mike Cannon-Brookes also owns a holiday home nearby.
Tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes is said to have bought a property on the island in 2021 for $ 8 million, while the Australian politician Kristina Kennally bought a house on the water in 2017.

Queensland
It is not only island characteristics that you can get about Queensland – here you can have an entire island.
A deserted island with a dilapidated resort was recently given up by his Chinese investor owner on the market after years of mystery about his future.
The 28ha South Molle Island is the second expired resort island in the Whitsundays that has been on the market in recent months, after the Queensland’s government had seized the double island for the resale of Hong Kong billionaire Benny Wu in June last year.
Another, Keswick Island, which is part of the Whitsundays off the coast of Mackay, also came on the market a few months ago as a pre -approved development site.
It has 117 hectares of land lease and 25 hectares of Marine Lease, together with the ownership of the ferry and the inland ship of the island.
