Mossman may not be as large or as well known as Port Douglas, but this scenic town nestled in the shadow of the Daintree Rainforest comes with many benefits for Australian property investors that are hard to overlook.  

Property Shop Port Douglas & Mossman are the premier real estate agency in the Douglas Shire. Our team of Mossman real estate experts know a thing or two about investing in this quiet town, and why doing so can bring a range of rewards to investors.  

So, here are 3 reasons why you should consider investing in a Mossman investment property.  

Mossman Investment Property1. An Ideal Location  

Mossman is located about 20 minutes to the north-west from Port Douglas. The town is still situated on the Captain Cook Highway, and is bordered by the beautiful Mossman Gorge to the west. Located right in the heart of the Douglas Shire, Mossman captures so much of the dream Far North Queensland lifestyle – warm sunny days, proximity to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, and a small local community who love living where they do.  

In short, Mossman is a great place to live and it has all the necessary amenities for a comfortable lifestyle. Cairns is only an hour away, and there are plenty of great employment opportunities for those looking to rent here. Investing in real estate around Mossman has the potential to tap into a market that is surely but steadily on the up.  

2. A Greater Potential for Long-term Leases  

As Mossman is not as popular a tourist destination as Port Douglas, investors such as yourself can have the confidence that any leases are likely going to last for a longer fixed-term. Port Douglas attracts a lot of holiday renters – people who only stay in a property for a handful of weeks before they leave it vacant again. While this rental model can be sustainable if treated properly, most investors have a greater peace of mind if they know they are locking in a long-term lease.  

Mossman tenants are typically council workers, sugar mill employees, contractors, teachers, or specialists who have moved up north to work for a period of time. While the length of their stay differs from person to person, you have a strong chance of signing a 12 month lease from the very start.  

3. A Market Brimming with Opportunities  

While there have always been plenty of Mossman houses for sale, the rental market in this small town is primed to grow over the coming years. With the effects of the pandemic coming to an end across Australia, more and more people are looking to move out of the city and work somewhere that gives them more breathing room while being closer to nature. The Douglas Shire has risen to the top of many people’s lists of places to live, with Mossman benefiting from this wave of interest.  

If you are an Australian investor looking to jump into a rural market, houses for sale in Mossman certainly promise a lot of rewards in both the short and long term.
