There’s a reason this waterfront paradise has remained in the same family for 60 years - because once you’re here, you never want to leave.

Tucked away in a peaceful enclave of just a dozen or so properties that seldom come up for sale, this is a rare chance to secure a home that offers both peaceful waterside seclusion and a front-row seat to breath-taking coastal views.

With the water 15m across the reserve from your deck, this is a lifestyle like no other. The boat club is just down the beach, offering locals easy access to their yachts moored in the mouth of the Bay.

Here, the bustle of city life feels a world away, yet all the essentials are close at hand.

You also secure two homes, with endless possibilities:

The first is a modern (built in 2009), spacious five-bedroom family home with multiple living areas and generous decks overlooking the reserve and the water. The home’s been cleverly configured to allow two of the bedrooms, plus living room and bathroom, to be isolated - perfect for extended family or guests.

The second home is a standalone cedar two-bedroom home that enjoys sweeping views across the bay to Whitford, with its own work-from-home office space above the double garage.

When you do need to reconnect with the outside world, Howick Village is just minutes away, offering cafes, markets, and top local schools. Parks, reserves, and sporting facilities are all within easy reach. For city commuters, the CBD is just a half-hour away, if you time it right.

But the real magic happens when you return home.

You step into your private cable car and glide effortlessly from roadside to waterside, leaving the bustle of the city behind as you arrive back at your own slice of waterfront paradise. The family’s reluctant sale creates an opportunity that won’t come around again soon. Contact us to arrange a private viewing, or pop into an Open Home – cable car ride included!
