According to realestate.com.au<\/a> a\u00a0graffiti-covered concrete bunker has been listed for rent \u2013 but you can\u2019t live in it.<\/p>\n

The Trinity Beach structure is also on the market for $1.6 million, and sits on a 2.2ha block.<\/p>\n

Research has revealed that the unusual structure has been known locally as \u201cThe Bunker\u201d and \u201cthe German\u2019s house\u201d, and there is a \u201ckeep out\u201d sign on its big iron gates.<\/p>\n

A Google Maps search has it listed as the Ruins of Habsburg.<\/p>\n

Back in 2020, the Cairns Post revealed that the ruins were owned by Robert Zmeskal, who bought the site in 1980 for $14,000.<\/p>\n

The building has sat idle for more than 40 years, and has become the target of vandals and reclaimed by nature.<\/p>\n

It has been on the market since March 2020, but has been listed off and on since 2010.<\/p>\n

In 2020, it was listed for rent for $300 a week.<\/p>\n

The Trinity Beach median house price is $650,000, while the median weekly rent is $560.<\/p>\n

At $300 a week, that\u2019s cheap in the current rental market.<\/p>\n

But you might need to pitch a tent.<\/p>\n

The vacancy rate in Cairns is a tight 0.5 per cent.<\/p>\n
