The 148 EAST residence at Airlie Beach combines three levels of private marina-front living with a lift, pool and optional 12m berth in the Whitsundays.
Airlie Beach is generally encountered from the water as the Whitsundays’ point of departure, but some addresses place the coast on the doorstep rather than at the end of a drive. The 148 EAST residence at The Beacons is planned as a three-level waterfront home close to the marina and boardwalk, with a private pool and multiple outdoor terraces arranged towards the harbour.
Taylors Property Specialists describes the project as under construction, with completion expected in early 2027. That timing is a marketing estimate and requires confirmation against the current contract and building programme before any move-in or voyage is planned around it.
Three levels and a view over the marina
The agency lists approximately 577 square metres of built space on a 459-square-metre site. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a self-contained media or guest room are proposed, with a private lift connecting the main levels and a double lock-up garage providing direct access to the residence.
Natural stone, vertical screening and extensive glazing form the design language. Instead of concentrating all outdoor space into one deck, the scheme offers terraces at different points in the home and an individual pool looking towards the marina, giving residents the option of quiet spaces as well as larger social gatherings.
The berth must be considered separately
A private 12-metre berth directly in front of the residence is advertised as an optional purchase, rather than a facility automatically included in every version of the property offering. Its dimensions are suited to a much smaller craft than a superyacht, and the precise berth rights, services, tenure and access arrangements should be checked with the seller and harbour operator.
For a superyacht owner, the private berth may provide a useful base for a dayboat or tender while the principal vessel uses a suitable separately arranged marina berth. The distinction is important: a waterfront view and an offered 12-metre berth do not establish capacity for a 24-metre-plus yacht.
Airlie Beach as the shore-side address
The residence is within walking reach of the Airlie Beach boardwalk and the town’s restaurants and cafés. This puts day-to-day living alongside a coastal setting used for departures into the islands, rather than asking residents to choose between a marina location and urban conveniences.
The Whitsundays offer different cruising decisions depending on weather, vessel draft, anchorage permissions and local marine protection requirements. Those details should remain part of a passage plan even when a property sits immediately opposite the marina.
What the published listing establishes
The agency’s offering describes secure gated entry, a gatehouse and a contemporary, understated interior palette. It also identifies the construction status and early-2027 target, but prospective purchasers should seek the current floor plan, specification, contract, building approvals and any conditions attached to the optional berth rather than relying on a promotional rendering.
Specifications and offer terms are drawn from the official Taylors Property Specialists listing for 148 EAST. Superyacht Guide has written this as a waterfront-living feature, not a confirmation of future construction completion or guaranteed yacht berthing.
