About this property
Country retreat ✨️ 5 min from the most beautiful beach
✨ Off-grid country getaway on pure spring water 💧✨
Come unwind in the countryside — just 5 minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches around.
Enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful rural vibes with everything close by — golf course, country club, local dairy, classic fish & chips, and the Duke pub known for great meals and a welcoming atmosphere 👌
There are plenty of local attractions too — arts and crafts, unique landmarks (including the famous longest place name!), a local gym for those who love to stay active, massage therapy, and more.
Horse lovers welcome 🐎 — bring your horse and enjoy beach rides, jumps, and arena access.
Relax, recharge, and experience the simple beauty of country living

What makes this property unique
I've been developing this bareblock of land on my own for 4 years to become more self sufficient, off grid, living a more quality life, ive setup a gym in a barn, do wellness coaching, massage therapy and work with people and animals.
Its tranquil with the most stunning views of the hills and only 5 minutes from the beach
