Lot 3, Cape Hart Road, Porky Flat SA 5222

This is a rare "strike while the iron is hot" moment for Kangaroo Island. Traditionally, a coastal landholding of this calibre, boasting a full kilometre (approx.) of Southern Ocean frontage, would typically be out of reach for many. However, vendor is realistic and is willing to discuss offers.

Strategic Highlights of Lot 3 Cape Hart Road
1km of private coastline: Approximately one km of direct frontage to the Southern Ocean. Land with this level of maritime exposure is finite and rapidly disappearing from the open market.

Development Ready: Existing planning approvals are already in place. Whether you envision a high-end tourism venture or a legacy private island retreat, the bureaucratic heavy lifting has been started for you. See additional planning notes below.

Incoming Infrastructure Boost: Located just 45 minutes from the ferry terminal, with new, larger ferries commencing service shortly, and only 30 minutes from the prestigious new 5-star golf course - https://thecliffs.com.au/cms/

Capital Appreciation: Kangaroo Island is currently experiencing a global surge in awareness. Securing a "trophy" landholding at this entry point provides a significant buffer for future capital growth.

Buyer fact sheet: approved eco-tourism accommodation site | Information current to 21 October 2026
The opportunity;

A rare remote coastal wilderness block with around 1km of coastline on Kangaroo Island with planning consent for tourist accommodation (DA 520/L016/21), granted by the Environment, Resources and Development Court on 31 March 2023. The land currently has no dwellings and is used only for occasional camping.

What is approved;

• One tourist accommodation pod
• A two-storey building: communal amenities on the ground floor and one tourist unit upstairs, which also serves as the bushfire
refuge
• Attached deck, 3 m gravel driveway from Cape Hart Road, and a fire-fighting vehicle turning area
• Two water tanks (including a dedicated fire-fighting supply) and onsite wastewater treatment

Key strengths;

• Approval already won: consent was granted on appeal and the bushfire refuge design addresses CFS requirements for remote
tourist use
• Heritage Agreement variation registered: the building-area variation was registered on title in December 2023
• Natural setting: native vegetation, ocean views to the east from the pod location, and White-bellied Sea Eagles, that suits an eco-
tourism offer

What a buyer must complete;

• Building Consent: not yet started. It must be obtained by 8 January 2028
• Native vegetation clearance: the 2023 approval has expired but a new application and a recalculated offset payment are
required.
• Environmental Management Plan: must be finalised with the Department for Environment and Water before construction
starts. It includes access restrictions near the eagle nest from May to December

Planning limits to note;

Any changes should stay minor and within the approved building size (the "refuge building" footprint is 12 m x 12 m). Larger changes risk a bushfire referral and a wider cleared zone of up to 100 m.
