Build Your Own World-Class Waterfront Estate

This has to be the most spectacular site, in one of the loveliest coastal areas in the whole of Nelson Bays. Well placed to enjoy all day sun, it has endless, unobstructed beach, sea and mountain views. Incredibly beautiful, private and unspoiled, it is one of the few remaining pieces of waterfront land in the area.

This stunning 2.7952 hectare, seafront coastal property is unique. The site has been levelled. Topsoil has been applied and grass planted. It is now a broad, green grassy expanse ready for building the home you've always dreamed of owning. The site has recently been planted with decorative and mature trees to the landscape architects design.

This is a perfect setting to create a quiet, exclusive haven, where you can wake to the sound of waves breaking on the beach and sea birds calling. There is ample room to build a substantial home, fronting the water, with generous outdoor dining and entertainment pavilions and courtyards, all set in glorious landscaped gardens. Full landscape architects' plans are available.

The sea can be seen from practically anywhere on the property, even from the roadside gates. Breathtaking views extend from Ruby Bay and the Bluffs on the left, across Tasman Bay and d'Urville Island to Wakapuaka, Atawhai, Nelson, the Port and Nelson hills, leading to the Richmond ranges, with Mapua and Rabbit Island, tucked in on the right. At sunset, the skies above the Nelson and Atawhai hills reflect shades of pink and gold and at night, the coastline across the water is a panorama of lights.

A made-to-order property for boaties and fisherman, the land extends into the sea, with boat-launching access. There is excellent swimming and fishing and at high tide, you can sit on the sea wall and catch a schnapper.

Marine and bird life is abundant. Gannets dive out front. There are gulls and terns, oystercatchers and pied stilts. Schools of fish are frequently seen, churning up the water, as sea birds plummet down to take their fill. Dolphins and orca are periodically sighted as they cruise in to feed.

The property is extremely private, with no public access from the front. A 210 metre long, permanent seawall has been erected along the sea frontage. Professionally engineered and constructed, it rises some 4.2 metres above the water. Two separate walkways extend the length of the seawall. The wide, exposed concrete aggregate upper walkway, bordered by a low concrete block wall, is ideal for early morning walks or evening strolls. Built on a grand scale, this permanent seawall, on three levels, fits well into the natural environment.

The property is fenced on either side, with a one metre high, timber retaining wall alongside the private road frontage. Opposite, fenced tree-studded paddocks graze horses. Double farm gates open to a driveway on the property, leading towards the sea.

There is an enormous, purpose-built, hangar-style utility shed. Used for machinery storage, it has power, telephone, water and a toilet.
