Tucked away in a lush, established setting, this remarkable Cove Road property offers a true sense of escape - a private, subtropical haven where space, creativity and lifestyle come together on an expansive 4,001 sq m parcel of flat, usable land. Framed by mature plantings and thoughtfully developed over time, it feels worlds away, yet remains wonderfully connected to the best of the local coastal lifestyle.
At the heart of the property sits the three bedroom home, designed for relaxed living. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas flow seamlessly out to a generous deck - the perfect spot for morning coffee, family gatherings or long summer evenings surrounded by greenery and birdsong.
What truly sets this property apart is the incredible array of additional spaces, offering flexibility for extended family, guests, hobbies or home-based ventures. The grounds host a collection of unique and functional outbuildings, including a character filled cabin from the iconic Sweetwaters Festival, a substantial shed divided into workshop and garage with an adjoining studio, a MiTek double-bay garage with high stud, plus a portacom sleepout, house-truck accommodation, a charming yurt ideal for yoga or creative pursuits, and even a delightful children’s playhouse. It is a setting that naturally lends itself to multi-generational living, a teenage retreat, guest accommodation, or simply room to spread out and enjoy.
Importantly, the property benefits from minimal building restrictions - with no covenants beyond standard council requirements - providing future flexibility and freedom to shape the land to suit your vision.
Families will appreciate the level terrain, safe open spaces and the sense of adventure woven throughout the property. Lifestyle seekers will love the privacy, the established subtropical environment, and the opportunity to create something truly special.
Positioned just down the road from Johnson Point estuary access and the river mouth, the location offers an enviable connection to water and nature. With the cycleway nearing completion, you will soon be able to ride or stroll along Cove Road directly to Waipu Cove Beach or into Waipu township - an exciting addition that enhances both lifestyle and long-term appeal.
A rare blend of privacy, personality and potential - this is more than a property; it is a place to live, create and grow.
