Clifton Beach, Queensland

A Rare Beachfront Management Rights Sea Change Opportunity

$1,795,000

Business Description

Imagine living and working right on the beachfront, with the sound of the ocean as your soundtrack and the beach quite literally at your doorstep.
This management rights opportunity offers a lifestyle that is rarely available in Far North Queensland. The manager’s residence is absolute beachfront, with uninterrupted ocean views—something most management rights simply cannot offer. Step out of your front door or office and within 20 metres you’re on the sand, making this a true work-by-the-sea lifestyle. Added to this, the manager is not required to live on site. The current managers let out the apartment, (and this revenue is not included in the net profit). Managers have a top salary of $83,429.

Unlike high-rise or city complexes, this property is located in the Cairns Northern Beaches, known for their relaxed village atmosphere, strong community feel, and laid-back coastal living. You’ll be working in a quiet, picturesque beachside town, not a concrete jungle.

Why This Lifestyle Stands Out
• Absolute beachfront manager’s unit with stunning views
• Office is steps from the beach – take a walk on the sand or cast out a line between tasks
• Work in fresh sea air, not enclosed corridors
• Live where others holiday
• Cafés, local shops, and coastal walks all within easy reach
• Short drive to Cairns city, airport, and major amenities

This is not just a business purchase—it’s a complete lifestyle change. Perfect for owner-operators, couples, or those seeking a calmer, healthier way of living while still running a solid, established business.
If you’ve been dreaming of downsizing stress without downsizing quality of life, this is the kind of opportunity that simply doesn’t come along often.
