We consider the Einstein-dust equations with positive cosmological constant $\lambda$ on manifolds with time slices diffeomorphic to an orientable, compact 3-manifold $S$. It is shown that the set of standard Cauchy data for the Einstein-$\lambda$-dust equations on $S$ contains an open (in terms of suitable Sobolev norms) subset of data that develop into solutions which admit at future time-like infinity a space-like conformal boundary ${ \cal J}^+$ that is $C^{ \infty}$ if the data are of class $C^{ \infty}$ and of correspondingly lower smoothness otherwise. As a particular case follows a strong stability result for FLRW solutions. The solutions can conveniently be characterized in terms of their asymptotic end data induced on ${ \cal J}^+$, only a linear equation must be solved to construct such data. In the case where the energy density $\hat{ \rho}$ is everywhere positive such data can be constructed without solving any differential equation at all.
