REDEFINING LUXURY AND AVIATION ON QUEENSLAND’S FRASER COAST
In the lush, vibrant heart of Queensland’s Fraser Coast, an extraordinary project is unfolding, one that promises to redefine luxury living and personal aviation in Australia. This is the Aquila Estate and Flying Club, a $65 million initiative by VFR Developments. It’s a project that is a realisation of a profound vision that intertwines the modern living with the boundless freedom of flight.
A COMMUNITY BEYOND COMPARE
Aquila is more than a residence; it’s a lifestyle, a community, and a sanctuary. Spanning 50ha of the Fraser Coast’s most scenic landscapes, the estate offers an unparalleled living experience. With 19 of the 62 lots already sold, the community is quickly taking shape, attracting a diverse group of residents who share a common appreciation for luxury, nature, and aviation. The lots, varying from 2400m² to 4000m², are priced between $315,000 and $450,000, making the dream of living in such an idyllic setting a reality for many.
At the heart of the Aquila community is the clubhouse, serving as a central hub for socialising, relaxation, and recreation. Here residents can gather, forge friendships and enjoy the estate’s serene beauty, reinforcing the sense of community that is vital to Aquila’s ethos.
THE ULTIMATE FREEDOM
Aquila’s defining feature is its aviation facilities. The estate is designated with the airport code YAQA and features two meticulously designed runways; the primary 840m asphalt runway 05/23, and the secondary 700m grass runway 09/27. These facilities ensure that residents’ flying experiences are seamless and enjoyable, providing an unmatched level of freedom for pilots. Situated outside controlled airspace, Aquila offers residents the unique opportunity to fly in daylight hours without the constraints typical of commercial routes.
While the estate is a haven for aviation enthusiasts, it welcomes all who are drawn to this unique lifestyle. Each home is designed with an attached hangar space, catering to current and future aviators, yet flexible enough to serve various purposes for those who do not fly.
AN INVITATION TO ADVENTURE
Aquila’s strategic location offers residents a gateway to adventure. Nestled near Hervey Bay and K’gari (Fraser Island), the estate is perfectly positioned for residents to explore Queensland’s natural wonders. Whether it’s beachcombing, exploring the world’s largest sand island, or simply enjoying the local flora and fauna, Aquila provides a lifestyle filled with discovery and beauty.
SAFETY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND EXCELLENCE
In developing Aquila, the commitment to safety, sustainability, and architectural excellence is unwavering. The estate adheres to the highest safety standards and embraces eco-friendly practices, ensuring a harmonious balance between luxury living and environmental stewardship.
THE SOLID FOUNDATION OF LEDERER PRIVATE CAPITAL
The realisation of Aquila has been made possible through the support of Lederer Private Capital, ensuring the project’s financial stability and success. This partnership underscores the confidence in Aquila’s vision and its commitment to setting new benchmarks in luxury and aviation.
THE VISIONARIES BEHIND AQUILA
Leading this groundbreaking endeavour is Justin Miller, CEO of VFR Developments. Miller’s journey from the skies of South Africa as an airline pilot to the forefront of Australian real estate development embodies a life dedicated to transcending limits. “This project has been about two years in the planning but about 25 years in the dreaming, and now it is a reality” Miller stated, capturing the dream that Aquila represents.
Complementing Miller’s visionary leadership is Victor Stark, the operational genius ensuring the meticulous planning and execution of the Aquila project. With a background in civil construction and project management, Stark brings unmatched precision and expertise. His passion for aviation, demonstrated by his Recreational Pilot Licence, ensures that every aspect of Aquila caters to the needs and aspirations of aviation enthusiasts.
Completing the team is Russel Segal, the marketing and sales strategist with a history of success in Queensland’s competitive Gold Coast real estate market. Segal’s deep market insights and strategic marketing approaches are crucial in presenting the unique lifestyle of Aquila to those who seek a blend of coastal tranquillity and aviation excitement.
