A visit to the Great Barrier Reef is considered a bucket list item for many, but a $4.5 million property offers the chance to not only visit, but live out a life in the World Heritage listed site.

The property, listed on Christie’s International Real Estate, is located on 4,000 square meters of beach, coral and island.

“The open plan villa has been carefully designed to make the most of the expansive ocean and island views,” the listing describes.

While Christie’s describes the property price as “available on request”, Mansion Global puts the figure at $4.5 million.
