A sprawling tropical retreat once owned by Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, is for sale.

The Queensland property is located on the shores of Murray Bay, just outside Bowen, and covers 3.5 hectares of secluded land, including 250m of private waterfront.

The property, nicknamed the ‘Gateway to the Whitsundays’, faces north towards the water and has three detached houses and three self-catering units.

Current owner and former rugby league player Mike McLean purchased the tropical estate in 2020 from Hancock Prospecting, which is owned by Rinehart.

The main house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, opening onto stunning sea views and picturesque landscaped gardens.

The Queensland property is located on the shores of Murray Bay, just outside Bowen, and covers 3.5 hectares of secluded land, including 250m of private beach.

Meanwhile, the other two houses have three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Three renovated units provide additional accommodation, comprising two studios and a larger family unit, each fitted with contemporary fittings.

Other structures on site include a beach hut, shed, carport and beachfront pavilion.

The main house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, opening onto stunning sea views and picturesque landscaped gardens.

The property was believed to have been used to house Hancock Prospecting workers when it was owned by Rinehart.

The listing compiled by Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty claims the property is “the only private retreat that graces Murray Bay”.

Additionally, the resort is only accessible via high-security gates that “declare the exclusivity of the route and ensure that each guest is welcomed by appointment only,” the listing states.

Three renovated units provide additional accommodation, including two studios and a larger family unit, each equipped with contemporary amenities.

The waterfront estate is “flanked by Crown land and offers only walking access to the bay” and also has a natural spring.

The property is zoned tourist/residential, meaning it can be used as a home or resort.

“Whether you are considering a high-end resort, caravan park, lifestyle hotel/licensed venue, or want to maintain this piece of paradise as your own private retreat, this estate provides a curated canvas for your greatest aspirations,” the listing says.

No asking price has been given, but the owners are calling for expressions of interest.
