If you’ve ever wanted to live in the seclusion of your very own private island, the barrier to entry has almost never been lower with the sale of Temple Island — currently listed for just $1.75 million.
As fellow hostages to the domestic housing market, we understand the daunting prospect of saving for a Sydney home, where the median price is (at the time of this writing) somewhere around the $1.3 million benchmark.
Hence why it might be time to see which of your mates are keen to chip in to buy a remote slice of tropical paradise.

Located just three kilometres off the coast of central Queensland alongside Cape Palmerston National Park, and about an hour’s drive from Mackay, Temple Island has just about everything you’d ever need. It spans an area of 123 acres and comes complete with a 1,100-metre grass runway, a well-maintained four-bedroom house, a solar energy system, as well as mobile coverage from Telstra or Optus.
Other highlights of the Temple Island sale include white sand beaches, the prospect of whales visiting twice a year, excellent fishing and oyster diving, plus a bunch of farming equipment to maintain the property. That’s right: if you buy Temple Island, you’ll get a Range Rover, tractor, ride-on mower, and off-road buggy thrown in to sweeten the deal.
So if you’re sick of the big smoke and the relentless pace of city life (or if you’re simply looking to grow your conservation credentials), here’s your chance.
