Don't miss this rare opportunity to secure an absolute waterfront block overlooking the tranquil waters of North Arm Cove and give yourself the chance to become immersed in this tight-knit coastal community or escape to a luxurious weekender by the sea.
With an elevated position above the tranquil cove, this 1,353sqm block will allow you to live the waterfront lifestyle you've always dreamed of, with all the attractions of Port Stephens just a short boat ride away.
Scattered with towering gum trees for a lovely bushland feel, the block runs down to the water's edge, allowing you to explore the potential to create a convenient mooring with a private jetty, similar to surrounding homes.
The block's gentle slope allows you to maximise your water views and outlook to the distant, heavily forested shores of Evans Point and Bundabah, while the desirable east-facing orientation will provide early morning sunrises over the water.
With an existing building entitlement on the block and limited easements you can custom-design your ideal home with a split-level layout to make the best use of the land's natural topography and incorporate under-house storage options into the design, while the RU5 Village zoning provides for a wide variety of potential land uses subject to council consent.
You could also take advantage of the hard work already completed by the current owners, with architect's drawings of an already approved home available to view.
Aside from the block's waterfront position, its location in this quiet coastal village also adds to the appeal, with the quiet community offering a lovely place to raise a family, take things down a notch with a peaceful retirement or leave the worries of the world behind with a weekend retreat.
North Arm Cove offers a range of local facilities including a flourishing community garden, inviting community hall complete with pizza oven, friendly weekend coffee shop, tennis court, children's playground and an abundance of nature walking trails, with a great beach five minutes down the road.
The picturesque Casuarina Park is ideal for families with barbecues, picnic tables, kayak and dinghy storage racks and direct access to the sheltered waters of the bay, which are perfect for a refreshing paddle, water sports and fishing.
North Arm Cove is a paradise for boating enthusiasts, with its connectivity to the Karuah River making it easy to cruise along and spend the day visiting Port Stephen's charming coastal destinations including Soldiers Point, Salamander Bay and Corlette.
The bustling d'Albora Marinas is just 10 minutes away via boat, offering access to a myriad of tourism and boating activities including the suburb's famed dolphin and whale watching cruises, scuba diving operators and deep sea fishing charter boats, while the marina is also surrounded by a range of retail outlets, restaurants and cafes where you can stop for a spot of browsing before grabbing a relaxing bite to eat.
Head further round the coast and you can explore the laidback ambience of Shoal Bay and the fabulous atmosphere of the Shoal Bay Country Club, while outdoor enthusiasts can take on the variety of walking trails that snake through the picturesque Tomaree National Park or tackle the 2.2km return trek to the summit to experience breathtaking panoramic views.
Closer to home are the nearby communities of Karuah, Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest, which offer quality schooling options and all your essential needs, while easy access to the Pacific Highway allows you to explore further afield to reach Raymond Terrace in less than half an hour, connect with the major centres of Newcastle and Maitland in 40-50 minutes or head south to Sydney in an easy two-and-a-half hour commute.
