Set on a flat, generously sized 976 sq m (more or less) estuary-front section, 281 Cove Road enjoys an elevated position above the water, capturing ever-changing views across the estuary towards the ocean and offshore islands beyond. This peaceful, sun-soaked setting offers a strong sense of space and connection to the coastal environment, where reflections, birdlife and shifting light form part of everyday living.
The property is improved by a refreshed 1970s two-storey beach bach, while the site itself presents clear potential for a future main dwelling and minor dwelling (subject to council consent). This flexibility allows buyers to enjoy the home as it is, further enhance it over time, or plan for a longer-term coastal vision.
The home is thoughtfully configured for relaxed coastal living. Downstairs offers two bedrooms, a bathroom and a generous rumpus room with kitchenette, opening onto a covered, enclosed verandah fitted with pull-down clear blinds. This sheltered space provides a practical extension of the living area, allowing enjoyment of the estuary outlook and natural light in most conditions, before connecting to level lawns that sit elevated above the estuary.
Upstairs, the master bedroom, bathroom and open-plan living area enjoy elevated views across the estuary to the ocean and islands. The space is light-filled and inviting, offering a comfortable vantage point to take in the outlook and changing tides.
From the lawn, easy access leads down to the water’s edge and jetty - a special feature for jet skiing, fishing, launching kayaks or paddleboards, or simply enjoying time on the estuary. For golfing enthusiasts, the front lawn also features a putting green, adding an extra layer of recreational enjoyment. With the river mouth close by and Waipu Cove, Langs Beach and Waipu township all within easy reach, this is a compelling opportunity to secure an elevated estuary-front property with lifestyle appeal and future potential.
