Christmas Island WA 6798

Massive investment opportunity or build your dream home in a tropical paradise!

Christmas Island is a unique and beautiful island situated in the Indian Ocean, about 2500km north-west of Perth and 350km south of Indonesia. With the exception of the neighbouring Cocos Islands, it is as far from WA as you can be, yet still enjoying the advantages that an Australian territory can offer. Christmas Island is a popular tourist destination with average daily temperatures ranging from 22C - 28C all year round. A national park covers most of the 135km island; complete with rainforest walks to wetlands, caves and waterfalls. Native wildlife includes nesting seabirds and the famous red crab. The island is also lined with snorkeling and diving reefs. Services include an airport, comprehensive high school, post office, banking, supermarket, medical facilities, taxi and more. The island is GST and duty free, and crime is virtually non-existent. Traditionally the economy has depended upon phosphate mining, but this is gradually giving way to eco-tourism.

Christmas Highland Estate is a subdivision at the top of Christmas Island next to the hospital. It is elevated with coastal views; and is fully serviced with power, water, sewer and stormwater. This large vacant 1155m triangular corner block is the largest block in Highland Estate. It is zoned R40 and is loaded with potential! There is the possibility of building multiple residential units, a duplex residence, or a large house of your dreams. Due to its situation next to the hospital, the zoning also grants permission for a commercial dwelling, related to medical use only.
