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.

Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
