Coastal Serenity Meets Country Lifestyle
Dual living coastal retreat on the Capricorn Coast — perfect for sea changers, extended families, or those seeking a peaceful, self-sufficient lifestyle.
Set among natural beauty and just moments from the ocean, this well-appointed property combines comfort, space, and functionality, offering the ultimate escape from city life without sacrificing convenience.
Tucked away in the tranquil coastal hamlet of Joskeleigh, on Queensland’s stunning Capricorn Coast, this unique property offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace a peaceful seaside lifestyle with all the benefits of space, privacy, and self-sufficiency.
Set on an expansive parcel of coastal rural land, 131 Joskeleigh Road is just two minutes from the endless sands of Long Beach — a pristine 20-kilometre stretch of coastline running from Pumpkin Creek at Keppel Sands all the way to the northern bank of the Fitzroy River. Whether your passion is fishing, crabbing, boating or simply unwinding by the sea, this address delivers the perfect balance of lifestyle and practicality.
A Lifestyle Location Like No Other
Only five minutes’ drive from the friendly village of Keppel Sands, you’ll enjoy all the conveniences of a tight-knit coastal community. Keppel Sands offers a State Primary School, hotel/motel, Australia Post outlet, and a handy convenience store — everything you need for everyday living without sacrificing tranquility.
The region is a haven for marine enthusiasts, with three public boat ramps providing effortless access to the many islands and waterways of Keppel Bay. Explore Great Keppel Island, Curtis Island, or cruise up the Fitzroy River — the options are endless. The Coast Guard, based at Pumpkin Creek, ensures added confidence for all your boating adventures.
The Main Residence
Designed for relaxed coastal living, the main home features three spacious bedrooms, each with ceiling fans for year-round comfort. The bathroom offers a generous corner bath/shower, vanity, and toilet, while the heart of the home centres around an open-plan living, dining, and sleepout area filled with natural light and cooling sea breezes.
All windows and doors are screened, allowing you to enjoy fresh air without pests, and the home’s elevated position captures views across the surrounding countryside.
Downstairs you’ll find a fully enclosed entertaining area — ideal for family gatherings or weekend barbecues — along with a large kitchenette, laundry, second toilet, and ample storage cupboards.
The roof hosts a 9kW solar system complemented by a solar hot water system, reducing power costs and supporting sustainable living.
The Secondary Dwelling – The "Shouse"
A fully self-contained secondary dwelling provides flexible living options — perfect for extended family, guests, or even rental income. This building includes:
4 bedrooms
Combined shower and toilet
Spacious open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area
Outdoor entertaining area
Concrete parking for vehicles
Connected to power, well water, and rainwater, the “shouse” is comfortable and functional, offering independence while remaining close to the main home.
Extensive Shedding & Infrastructure
For those who value space and practicality, this property is exceptionally well equipped:
Main Shed (9m x 12m) – fully powered with shelving, a heavy-duty workbench, and four roller doors (three northern, one southern), plus a PA door and multiple windows for natural light.
Boat Shed (4.5m x 14.5m x 4.5m) – ideal for large boats, caravans, or additional vehicles. It features an open northern end, side roller door, and a dedicated rainwater tank for washing down boats and equipment.
Large Dog Run (9.8m x 1.9m) – concreted, chain-wire enclosed, with a covered northern section and the ability to divide into two separate pens.
Reliable Water Supply
Self-sufficiency is at the heart of this property’s design. Water is plentiful and efficiently managed through a combination of rainwater, well water, and storage tanks:
Three rainwater tanks – 25,000L (boat shed), 9,000L (main house), and 4,540L (shouse)
Well water system – sourced from the main underground water course, pumped by a windmill to a 6-metre-high gravity tank feeding both dwellings for bathrooms, toilets, laundry and gardens
25,000L reservoir tank for overflow storage, with return flow to the well
Honda petrol pump for manual backup pumping when required
This thoughtful system ensures reliable water access throughout the year, even in dry conditions.
Gardens & Outdoor Living
Surrounding the home are low-maintenance, weather-tolerant gardens, featuring a variety of established trees, shrubs, and flowering plants suited to the coastal climate. The grounds also include fruit-bearing trees such as mulberry, Bowen mango, bush lemon, and orange, offering a taste of homegrown abundance.
Outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully designed to maximise enjoyment of the coastal lifestyle — whether relaxing in the shade, entertaining family and friends, or simply appreciating the natural beauty of the region.
A Rare Coastal Opportunity
Combining dual living, extensive infrastructure, and sustainable features in a peaceful coastal setting, 131 Joskeleigh Road is a rare find on the Capricorn Coast.
Whether you’re seeking a family retreat, a retirement sanctuary, or a lifestyle investment, this property offers exceptional versatility and the freedom to live life your way — close to the sea, surrounded by nature, and with room to grow.
