Revered as one of Australia's natural treasures, Utingu represents a rare opportunity to secure a pristinely preserved freehold paradise with Development Application approval for an oceanfront multi-structure luxury eco-resort. Sprawled across 88 hectares with diverse ecosystems including white-sand beaches, untouched rainforests, rugged bushland, tropical lagoons, and inland waterways, contrasted by delicate flora and fauna, Utingu is the only significant land holding in the Cape York region with no native title restrictions or liquor restrictions.

Utingu is positioned 18 kilometres southwest of The Tip of Cape York, Australia's northernmost point, and 20 kilometres southeast of Thursday Island. Its prized western seaboard location and almost two kilometres of beaches give the feeling of a private island yet accessible to essential services, transportation – by land, air and sea, and support staff.

Held by one family for over two decades and only five ownerships in its 125 years as a titled property, Utingu has a bright future as a highly in-demand world-class luxury eco-resort. Lodge accommodations, amenities, heavy construction machinery, and infrastructure are in place and the DA approval is secured. With no competition for upmarket tourism nearby and the potential for hydroelectricity and gas field projects, an Utingu Eco-Resort development can be fast-tracked, cost-effective, and prosperous.
