Set on a flat, low-maintenance site directly across from the estuary and reserve, this near-new home delivers an exceptional combination of modern comfort, sun and location. Built in 2022, the design is thoughtful and contemporary, perfectly suited to relaxed coastal living. The heart of the home is the sunny open-plan living and dining area, flowing seamlessly to multiple outdoor spaces — ideal for entertaining, family life or simply enjoying the all-day sun. A well-appointed kitchen is complemented by a butler’s pantry, while a separate office and a media or multi-use room provide flexibility for working from home or quiet retreat, with estuary views adding an extra layer of appeal.

A second bathroom, separate WC and excellent storage ensure everyday practicality is well catered for. Year-round comfort is assured with five heat pumps, while a smart camera security system provides peace of mind.
