Tucked away in the peaceful seaside settlement of Moenui, just 10 minutes from Havelock, 96 Moenui Road offers the kind of waterfront lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to secure in the Pelorus Sound.
Positioned on a generous 1,307sqm north-facing section, this classic 1960s waterfront home enjoys all-day sun, a relaxed coastal atmosphere, and direct access to some of the best boating, kayaking, fishing, and recreation the Marlborough Sounds has to offer. Largely in original condition, the home has been gradually renovated over time and presents an exciting opportunity for buyers who can see the potential and value in a property with solid bones, character, and exceptional waterfront infrastructure.
Inside, the home has a warm and authentic feel, with a welcoming fireplace creating a genuine “classic bach” atmosphere that immediately makes you want to slow down and stay a while. Offering three bedrooms and one bathroom, there is plenty of scope here to modernise further and add value over time while still enjoying the property as it is today.
What truly sets this property apart is the lifestyle on offer. The substantial and highly unique boatshed includes a walk-around deck and boat jinker/cradle on rails with winch for hauling and storing your boat with ease — a rare feature that will immediately appeal to boating enthusiasts. Complementing this is a mooring with a 2-tonne block capable of accommodating a vessel up to approximately 8 metres, making this an ideal base for exploring the surrounding Sounds.
The section itself offers a mix of sloping and flatter usable areas, creating space for outdoor living, gardens, additional parking, or simply enjoying the privacy and natural setting. With the nearby Link Pathway connecting through to Picton, Anakiwa, and Havelock, the area also offers fantastic walking, cycling and outdoor recreation opportunities right at your doorstep.
Properties like this are not about perfection — they are about potential, position, and lifestyle. For buyers willing to roll up their sleeves and continue the journey, this is an opportunity to secure a genuine waterfront foothold in a tightly held coastal community with boating infrastructure that is incredibly difficult to replicate today.
