Mackay Local Turns Beachside Dream into Reality After Second Home Purchase in Three Months

They say the grass isn’t always greener, but for Mackay couple Denis Cusack and In Sun Park it is, after an impulse purchase that ended in a slice of paradise at Harbour Beach.

The pair purchased a property in East Point’s Dunes Harbour Beach, after seeing the lifestyle it offered, only three months after purchasing an existing home in Mackay.

The couple always dreamt of living by the sea and being within close proximity to the city but couldn’t find the perfect place and settled on a home by the lake in Mackay. When Denis, a security officer, was offered a new job in and around East Point, he was blown away by the homes and land sizes at Dunes Harbour Beach, but most of all, by the beachside living on offer and short drive to the CBD.

“I never thought that after three months of purchasing a home, I would be on the look out, let alone build one – but as soon as I drove through the Urbex development after being contracted there for a job, I couldn’t stop thinking about it,” Denis said.

Soon after, the pair snapped up a 491m²  allotment at Dunes Harbour Beach, Urbex’s $250M seaside development in East Point, originally as an investment property.

Whilst living at their newly purchased lakeside home in Mackay, the pair found themselves walking their dog along Harbour Beach nearly every afternoon and came to the conclusion they wanted the laidback lifestyle of living by the water, yet close to the city for work and flipped their investment idea into their dream home.

“The location, lifestyle and allotment sizes ultimately sealed the deal, being by the beach, 10 minutes to the city and land size big enough for a lap pool – who could say no.”

“After purchasing the lot, we found ourselves at East Point most weekends,  checking out our lot, taking our dog down to the beach and we could not look past the idea that we would be making this someone else’s dream, when it could be ours. So we made the decision to build a two storey home with a lap pool and call it our own.”

The couple purchased a beachside lot within Sol Precinct at Dunes Harbour Beach, with plans to move into a spacious four bedroom home by June 2023, featuring a media room, and lap pool with views of the islands and ocean.

“We are thrilled to be building our own home as we are now expecting a new addition to the family come March 2023, so it really is the perfect time to be settling at Harbour Beach.”

Urbex Realty General Manager Craig Covacich is pleased with the attraction to this unique lifestyle offering with over 60% of land releases to date now sold.

Located 7km from Mackay’s CBD, Dunes Harbour Beach boasts beachfront access with spacious homesites blended within areas of native bushland. Over 30 per cent of the community is commited to open space, conservation and parkland to ensure Dunes remains a pristine destination.

The release of homesites within the Sol Precinct are sized from 300m² to a spacious 646m² priced from $180,000 to $375,000. Featuring beachfront and beachside homesites, terrace options, and close integration to the upcoming tourism, dining and retail hub, the Seashore Release and Sol Precinct Release are titled and ready to build on.
