The under-construction 148 EAST residence at The Beacons in Airlie Beach can be purchased with an optional private 12m marina berth directly in front of the home.
148 EAST at The Beacons in Airlie Beach is under construction with completion expected in early 2027, and its clearest LBG connection is immediately outside the residence. The property can be purchased with an optional private 12m marina berth positioned directly in front, placing the maximum boat size exactly at the upper edge of LBG’s remit.
The three-level home spans about 577 square metres and includes a private pool, lift, outdoor terraces and marina views. Those features are substantial, but the boating value comes from being able to move directly from the residence to a boat without a separate drive to a storage yard or marina.
The berth changes the way the home can be used
A private 12m berth can accommodate a wide range of leisure craft while remaining suitable for much smaller boats. Keeping the vessel immediately in front of the residence can make short fishing trips, evening runs or island days easier to organise than they would be from remote storage.
The listing describes the berth as optional, so buyers need to distinguish the residential purchase from the marina component rather than assume it is automatically included. That detail is important in LBG property coverage because berth rights, dimensions and ownership arrangements can be as significant as the house itself.
Airlie Beach provides a boating-led location
The Beacons sits within walking distance of the Airlie Beach boardwalk, cafés and marina activity, with the Whitsunday Islands beyond. This gives the property a practical cruising context rather than relying on a water view that cannot actually be used by the owner.
For an active boater, proximity can influence how often the vessel leaves the berth. A boat that is easy to check, load and use is more likely to become part of everyday leisure than one that requires a separate logistics exercise before every outing.
Waterside property should support real boat use
LBG’s Waterside Property section is deliberately focused on homes where berth access or small-craft infrastructure changes the ownership experience. A high purchase price or dramatic architecture alone is not enough to make a residence relevant to leisure boating.
148 EAST fits because the optional berth has a clearly stated 12m size and sits directly in front of the home. That gives readers a concrete boating feature to evaluate alongside the property itself and keeps the story connected to how boats under 12 metres are actually stored and used.
