Set on a flat, generously sized 976 sq m (more or less) estuary-front section, 281 Cove Road is a waterfront wonderland, perfect for creating lasting memories for all the family. Elevated above the water, it offers ever-changing vistas across the estuary to the ocean and offshore islands. Sun-soaked and peaceful, the setting provides a strong sense of space and connection to the coastal environment, where reflections, birdlife, and shifting light form part of everyday living.
The property features a refreshed 1970s two-storey beach bach, with further scope to enhance and transform it over time into your ultimate beachside home. There is also potential to add a minor dwelling (subject to council approval), offering flexibility for family, guests, or holiday accommodation.
The home is thoughtfully arranged for relaxed coastal living. Downstairs comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a generous rumpus room with kitchenette, opening onto a covered, enclosed all-seasons verandah. This sheltered space extends the living area, providing a comfortable environment to enjoy the estuary outlook and natural light in most conditions, before flowing out to level lawns elevated above the water.
Upstairs, the master bedroom, bathroom, and open-plan living area capture elevated estuary, ocean, and island views. Light-filled and inviting, this level offers a perfect vantage point to watch the tides, enjoy the coastal breezes, and savour the serenity of the setting.
The lawn gently leads down to the water’s edge and private jetty - ideal for jet skiing, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the estuary. A front lawn putting green adds further recreational enjoyment, creating a space where family, friends, and visitors can gather, play, and enjoy coastal living together. With the river mouth nearby and Waipu Cove, Langs Beach, and Waipu township all within easy reach, this property delivers an elevated estuary-front lifestyle with both immediate charm and long-term potential - a true coastal sanctuary for generations to come.
