Private Rural Retreat with Guest Wing

This sought-after lifestyle block features a delightful open-plan, four-bedroom plus office, two-bathroom dwelling with dual living spaces and ultimate versatility.

Appreciate it as a spacious family home, or use the attached wing as a guest house, rental, or Airbnb-completely privatized just with the closing of a door.

The excellent layout includes a master bedroom with a walk-through wardrobe and a fabulous ensuite.The true hub of the home is a 4-metre-long kitchen island, perfect for family gatherings. Large glass windows and doors flood the home with extra light, beautifully capturing the sea & country views and flourishing gardens.

The living areas flow seamlessly out to surrounding decks, complemented by an adjoining outdoor entertainment BBQ area and a second dining space.

Impeccable landscaping welcomes you to this secluded rural property, boasting approximately 20 fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, and vibrant flower gardens.

The bare land is neatly divided into paddocks-ideal for a beef or two, or perhaps some llamas; the choice is entirely yours!

Completing the package is a separate 50m² high-stud garage, offering the perfect storage solution for your boat.

Purpose-built with the sun and views in mind, you will experience a great sense of connection to the elements of nature, land, and sea.

Centrally located, the property offers easy access to State Highway 1, local beaches, shopping centres, prestigious Marsden Cove, and the ever-expanding amenities our high-growth area offers. This is an exceptional opportunity to live the coastal rural lifestyle with ease.

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

Reading the council's maps…

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
