Description

Set in a prime elevated position with beautiful bay views, 14 Bayview Road offers the rare balance of true coastal simplicity with space, flexibility, and functionality. Just moments from the calm, safe swimming waters of the bay, this is a place where days are shaped by tides, sunsets, and time well spent. The main home

features three bedrooms and open-plan living, designed to capture natural light and harbour outlooks while creating a relaxed, social heart of the home. Step outside and soak it all in - whether it's morning birdsong, afternoon fishing missions, or evenings unwinding in the hot tub under the stars. A double garage with three additional rooms provides exceptional versatility - ideal for storage, hobbies, guests, or workspace - while the separate one-bedroom cabin adds flexibility for visitors, extended family, or income potential. This property is exceptionally well set up for coastal living, with a cool store, smoke house, ablution block, garden shed, multiple water tanks, septic tank and space to enjoy the outdoors with ease. Launch the boat just down the road, fish the harbour, or paddle at sunset - the local boat ramp makes spontaneous adventures effortless. Surrounded by rolling dunes, native bush, and a small, welcoming community of permanent residents and cherished family baches, Kellys Bay offers privacy, belonging, and a genuine escape from the everyday. Opportunities like this are rarely available. Whether you're seeking a permanent home, a weekend retreat, or a smart lifestyle investment, 14 Bayview Road is your gateway to authentic harbour-side living.

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
