The vendor's plans have changed, and these two adjoining sections with exceptional water views at 326 and 328 Marine Drive will be sold. A combined 1,902sqm across two 951sqm titles, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial coastal holding in Charteris Bay.

Yes, you could create one standout home here - but there is another option worth serious consideration. For extended family or friends wanting an affordable foothold in the bays, these sections offer the chance for two families to purchase together and each build a modest home, tiny house or bach, while sharing the benefits of this remarkable setting and location.

What sets this property apart is flexibility and access. There are no land covenants, giving you the freedom to design and build without restrictive rules. A private driveway leads directly to the elevated sites, providing easy access and good separation from the road.

The position delivers the real reward. Elevated and north-facing, the sections capture wide water views across Charteris Bay toward Black Rock, King Billy Island, and Quail Island. Sun and outlook are the constants here, with long evening sunsets across the harbour.

This is the kind of location families return to year after year. Hays Bay beach and Church Bay beach are both close by for swimming and summer days on the water, while the Charteris Bay Yacht Club and nearby boat launching ramp make boating and fishing easy. Add in Orton Bradley Park, walking tracks and the relaxed pace of Bays living, and it is easy to see the appeal of creating a shared family getaway here.

The grounds have been carefully developed over time, with terraced planting, established trees and hardy coastal gardens already in place. Paths wind through the planting to sheltered seating areas, including a pergola-covered patio positioned to take in the view. A small rustic hut sits on the site (watertight but without power), along with a large water tank and garden taps. Mains water and sewer connections are available, and a geotechnical report is available on request.

Two titles. Private access. No covenants. Outstanding water views. The vendor wants action - make your offer.
