Tucked into a coveted waterside cul-de-sac within the tightly held enclave of Waipuna Cove, this exceptional family home rests on a 682sqm (more or less) freehold section, offering a lifestyle that is as rare as it is rewarding. Often described as Mount Wellington’s best-kept secret, Waipuna Cove is a place where neighbours arrive, and choose to stay, drawn by its peace, privacy, and deep connection to the water’s edge.

Set across two generous levels, the home unfolds with four well-proportioned bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and the ease of a double internal-access garage, complemented by ample off-street parking. From almost every angle, the home is in quiet conversation with its surroundings - bedrooms framed by leafy green outlooks, and living spaces designed to capture the ever-changing beauty of the landscape.

At the heart of the home, the living room is anchored by a wide, expansive picture window, drawing in sweeping views across Panmure Basin to Mt Wellington. Here, light pours in, the water glimmers, and the mountain stands quietly in the distance, a daily reminder of how special this setting truly is. Step out onto the balcony and you’re rewarded again, with a front-row seat to sunrises and sunsets, best enjoyed slowly, coffee in hand or glass of wine at day’s end. One bedroom opens directly to a screened porch, a serene retreat where you can look up to the sky, out to the greenery, and simply breathe. It’s a space made for morning stillness and evening unwinding, where time softens and the outside world fades away.

Life here is effortless and well connected. Easy motorway access ensures a smooth CBD commute, while Sylvia Park and Mt Wellington shopping centres are just five minutes away for everyday convenience. For those who value an active, outdoor lifestyle, the Panmure Basin walkway and recreational facilities are within walking distance, offering scenic loops, water views, and space to recharge.

This is more than a home. It’s a sanctuary by the water, a place of light, views, and quiet privilege. In a location so rarely available and so deeply cherished, this is an opportunity to secure not just a property, but a way of life
