For those who like the idea of living with less without giving up useful space, 2 Melaleuca Drive offers a beautifully designed, modern two-bedroom home, a surprisingly large double garage and plenty of room outdoors to enjoy.
Inside, the compact footprint has been cleverly used. High ceilings and louvre windows make the open-plan living area feel light and airy, while exposed shipping-container ceilings, hanging barn doors and quality fittings give the home its own character. The kitchen is beautifully finished with quality appliances including a dishwasher and plenty of storage, and air conditioning keeps things comfortable year-round.
There are two bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, along with a spacious bathroom featuring a corner bath.
Outdoor living extends the home further, with two verandahs offering different places to enjoy throughout the year. The private rear deck looks across the garden and captures a view of the water, while the north-facing verandah is a sunny, warm spot during the cooler months.
And then there’s the shed.
The full double lock-up garage is a real feature of this property, with an electric door, power, lighting and a ceiling fan. Use it as a generous garage and workshop, or imagine the possibilities for an art or yoga studio, hobby space or separate work-from-home area. For those who don’t need to keep a car on the island, it provides an especially valuable amount of additional usable space. Any change of use or conversion would, of course, be subject to relevant approvals.
The smaller footprint of the home also means more of the fully fenced 546m² corner block is left to enjoy outdoors. This part of Lamb Island has fertile soil, and there are already raised garden beds, established Sir Walter lawn and a firepit area with gazebo structure, which could also lend itself to a future greenhouse or productive garden area.
With the passenger ferry terminal, local shop and Lamb Island Yoga all within walking distance, this is an appealing option for downsizers, creatives, remote workers, investors or anyone drawn to a simpler, lower-maintenance island lifestyle.
Currently tenanted until November 2026 at $440 per week.
Contact Kat Gawlik to arrange your inspection. A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required while the property is tenanted, and complimentary transport from the passenger ferry terminal to the property can be arranged.
ABOUT LAMB ISLAND
Lamb Island (Ngudooroo) is the second smallest of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands with excellent fishing, kayaking, sailing and deep water moorings on our doorstep.
We have around 500+ residents and a small community feel compared to the larger suburban islands Russell and Macleay. Most people come here for the peace and quiet. The 1km x 2 km island is small enough that it’s not necessary to have a vehicle, and many residents walk, have bikes, scooters or use the community-run Lamb Van public transport. Get your local honey, freshly roasted coffee, organic gardening supplies, local artwork and handmade soap from some of the local small businesses on Lamb.
There are many groups and activities to keep you occupied, from Yoga and Pilates classes, Qi Gong, pickleball and tennis, community bushcare days, to trivia nights and pool competitions at the Rec Club.
We have town water (which comes from the aquifer below the great sand island North Stradbroke), electricity, NBN internet, public tennis court (with flood lighting for night tournaments!), playground, BBQ and netted swimming area, off-leash dog park, community garden, free rubbish dump, Rural Fire Brigade, Lamb Island Recreational Club/Bar and a small shop. Eat-in or takeaway meals can be had at the Recreation Club or Zac’s shop.
Woolworths deliver here every day of the week for a delivery fee. There are essentials such as schools, post office, pharmacies, medical centres, hardware stores and cafes on the neighbouring islands Macleay and Russell which are a free 5 minute inter-island ferry away.
We are just a 50c fare and 21 minute Translink passenger ferry ride to Redland Bay, Brisbane where there is limited free car parking and the Weinam Creek Development is in the pipeline. The vehicle barge now has a 50% subsidy for residents and is only approx $35 each way leaving from Redland Bay, Brisbane. The Island jetties have recently undergone a multi-million dollar major revamp with the addition of a recreational jetty for fishing and temporary mooring of tenders.
The islands are moving ahead and undergoing a building boom which is to be expected for a region only 50 mins to Brisbane City and 50 mins to the Gold Coast.
The secret’s out and more people are discovering our beautiful islands and the unique lifestyle they offer.
