LAWD is presenting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a unique 544-hectare parcel of freehold land on the pristine coastline of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shark Bay, 655 lineal kilometres north of Perth in Western Australia’s Gascoyne Region.
Shark Bay marks Australia’s most westerly point and is renowned as a tourist mecca, with a profusion of peninsulas, islands and bays creating exceptional coastal scenery and natural features, including vast seagrass meadows, the bottlenose dolphins of Monkey Mia, and the Hamelin Pool Stromatolites, considered one of the oldest life forms on earth.
Featuring close to 4.5km of secluded beach frontage, Lot 2 Nanga Road is located on the western arm of the Peron Peninsula and is strategically positioned at the gateway to the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, approximately 45km south-east of the Denham township.
LAWD Director, Simon Wilkinson, said they were expecting offers of more than $5 million from a range of buyers given the extraordinary opportunity to own a world-class freehold parcel of land with such exceptional natural features.
“It’s very rare to find a freehold vacant block of land of this magnitude in a 2.2-million-hectare World Heritage-listed area,” Mr Wilkinson said.
“Given the increasing demand for authentic, nature-based experiences in the region, we anticipate a strong response from private buyers looking for seclusion and those in the tourism development market seeking to create an iconic business.”
The site is zoned Special Use No. 4 by the Shire of Shark Bay, which requires development to comply with an approved Local Development Plan. The zoning makes provision for a range of discretionary uses, such as a single house; an ancillary dwelling for intensive agriculture, including aquaculture; a camping ground or caravan park; holiday accommodation; and a restaurant, café, or service station.
Next door, Nanga Shark Bay Caravan Park was acquired in May 2025 by WA family-owned Summerstar Tourist Parks, and features a visitors’ centre, motel, caravan park and camping facilities, demonstrating the high demand for tourism and hospitality ventures in the region.
With direct flights available from Perth to Shark Bay Airport (Monkey Mia), and the many adventurers exploring Western Australia by road, LAWD Senior Director, Danny Thomas, said the pristine land offered many opportunities for the right buyer.
“Opportunities of this scale, offering a blank canvas on an absolute secluded unspoilt coastline site, are exceedingly rare,” Mr Thomas said.
“Its unparalleled ocean views, and the surrounding Shark Bay World Heritage Area, which is such an important destination for road trippers, coupled with its year-round semi-arid climate, makes Lot 2 Nanga Road an incredible opportunity for a high-net-worth individual, tourism or eco-tourism provider to create a destination tourism experience.
“Alternatively, a family seeking to build an exclusive holiday home that they can enjoy for generations to come, may also see it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Lot 2 Nanga Road is located 52km from Monkey Mia, 153km from Carnarvon and 165km from Kalbarri. The property is for sale by Expression of Interest closing Thursday, 27 November 2025.
