A rare and long-awaited opportunity has arrived for homebuyers and investors as Raine & Horne Port Douglas - Mossman officially launches a brand-new residential subdivision in Newell Beach, one of the Douglas Shire’s best-kept secrets.

Marking the first development of its scale seen in the picturesque township in decades, the release on Coulthard Close features 20 generously proportioned allotments ranging from 813 to 1,281 square metres.

Travis Schumacher, Director at Raine & Horne Port Douglas - Mossman, highlighted the rarity of the block sizes on offer. 

“You simply won't find residential allotments of this size anywhere else in the region right now,” he said. 

“They offer significantly more space to breathe than standard developments, giving buyers ample room for a large home, a shed, a boat, or a caravan. It’s a genuine lifestyle opportunity.”

Nestled between lush ranges and cool ocean breezes, the estate sits moments from the tranquil shores of Newell Beach, just 5 minutes from Mossman and 20 minutes from Port Douglas.

“Newell Beach offers that wonderful, laid-back coastal charm that retirees, families, and first-home buyers are always searching for,” added selling agent Charlie Madgwick. 

“You get uninterrupted mountain views and sea breezes, yet you're just minutes from the local fish and chip shop, golf course, schools, and the upgraded Rankin Street boat ramp.”

The development has officially moved past the planning phase, with operational works currently underway on-site. Completion of the subdivision and finalized titles are targeted for the end of 2026.

Future residents will also enjoy total creative freedom when designing their homes. 

“Buyers can choose their own builder under flexible guidelines rather than restrictive covenants,” MsMadgwick noted. 

“We also have turnkey house-and-land packages available on request through trusted local builders.”

Roughly half of the allotments boast no rear neighbours, framing uninterrupted western mountain views to pair with eastern sea breezes, making the release a rare slice of paradise in the Shire.
