This has to be one of the most peaceful and relaxing properties, one where you can sit on the deck or in the garden and enjoy looking out to the water for hours. With an outlook like this you may have to search for motivation to get anything done.

This is so much more than just another seaside bach. The water laps at the edge of the lawn reserve at high tide, the grounds are well designed to not block the view.

This home has three bedrooms, with one currently being used as a separate TV room. This room opens onto a very private deck. The main bathroom has been refurbished and also has underfloor heating. The open plan kitchen/dining/living area flows out to a large covered deck which looks out to the water, with louvres to shelter from the sea breeze when needed.

The large double garage has more to it - this is where the laundry is along with a second bathroom, and is currently being used as an extra lounge area which could accommodate extra guests if needed, or use it as a garage. The triple carport has the extra height to be able to park the boat.

Another building has a single garage, a store room and a potential sleepout. A generator keeps things going when the main grid fails, and two burglar alarms keep things secured when you manage to drag yourself away.

This home has had a lot of work done on it over recent years, including being re-roofed, re-clad, aluminium joinery fitted and fully insulated. The ceilings, although they look original, have been added as a feature.

There are many items to be included in the sale, a list will be provided when viewing. The current owner is ready to relocate after many years of enjoying this peaceful and private life, but is in no hurry and will wait for the right buyer with the right figure before moving on, so no time wasters please. Offers over $900,000 will be considered.
