The appeal of a home beside the water changes when the vessel can be kept directly outside. The 148 EAST residence at The Beacons in Airlie Beach, Queensland, is being marketed with the option to purchase a 12-metre private marina berth in front of the home.
The property is under construction with an anticipated early-2027 completion in the agency listing, so the announcement is not an occupied, completed home. Availability, berth rights and any updated project timetable must be verified with the agent.
A house organised around the harbour
The three-level design is described as approximately 577 square metres and includes a private pool, lift, outdoor terraces and views across the marina. It offers space for guests returning from time on the water without separating everyday living from the harbour environment.
An optional berth is not the same as a berth included unconditionally in a property price. Buyers should check whether it is sold separately, the permitted vessel dimensions and all future marina charges.
Airlie Beach as a cruising base
The town provides access to the Whitsunday cruising region, where a shore residence can be useful between separate trips. A berth directly outside the home can simplify short departures, subject to local navigation and marina rules.
The listing's nominal 12m berth should not be assumed adequate for every yacht at LYG's 12-metre threshold. Beam, draft, appendages and marina measurements must be confirmed before making a vessel-specific claim.
A purchase that needs documentation
A prospective buyer should seek the construction contract, title details, completion obligations and the legal documentation for the berth. The advertised visual is a project image, and it cannot establish that a planned feature has already been delivered.
The hero is the agency's official project photograph, not a generic luxury villa. The published listing may change, so no asking price or claim of current stock is repeated without a fresh written quote.
