SELLING SUNSETS: Port Douglas gives LA a run for its millions
Real Estate
BUSINESS FEATURE
If you’re hopelessly hooked on Netflix’s Selling Sunset, and the jaw-dropping luxury homes it parades across your screen, here’s a surprise plot twist: You don’t need to cross the Pacific to find million-dollar views and champagne-clink-worthy living.
Right on our own doorstep, Port Douglas is serving up sunsets and properties that would make any LA mansion blush, but with a price tag that might just leave you room for a yacht.
Picture this: The sky igniting in fiery golds, soft pinks, and dreamy purples as it stretches over the Coral Sea, melts into the emerald Daintree mountains, or glows above a secluded beachfront retreat.
With a sundowner in hand, you toast to another perfect day in paradise, a day with no
traffic jams, no smog, just you and a front-row seat to nature’s most glamorous show.
For those who dream of owning a slice of this magic, I’ve curated a list of Port Douglas
properties that offer the kind of views you normally only get with a drone and a production crew.
Whether it’s a hilltop hideaway with sweeping ocean views, a rainforest-wrapped sanctuary, or a waterfront haven with the sand just steps away, these homes prove that the ultimate luxury isn’t just the property - it’s the view.
No surprise, Murphy Street still reigns supreme as Port Douglas’ most coveted address.
Perched high on the hillside just a stroll from the town centre, this prestigious enclave boasts
multimillion-dollar homes with panoramic vistas that stretch from the glittering Coral Sea to the lush Daintree.
It’s not just prime real estate, it’s a daily visual extravaganza.
So, whether you’re house hunting or just daydreaming with a glass of wine and a real estate
app, feast your eyes on the creme de la creme of Port Douglas’s sunset stunners.
These homes don’t just offer lifestyle, they offer a life less ordinary.
