Offering privacy, this property is located in a pristine coastal position which has 200 metres of estuary frontage to Moonee Creek and overlooks a national park known as Moonee Beach Nature Reserve.
A footbridge, located on the N/E corner of the property, spans Moonee Creek and leads to a 900 metre long pathway which takes you through the national park to the most secluded beach on the Coffs Coast.
Starting its life as a caravan park, “The Waterside” was transformed into a boutique guest house and licensed restaurant. Substantial infrastructure exists including road systems and car parking, making it ideal to continue as a guest house / B&B, or you could develop the site into a boutique residential complex, utilising the existing guest house and restaurant as the community centre.
Alternatively, you may wish to modify the improvements to create your very own private luxury estate.
The development approval for the site allows for an additional 13 residential dwellings, tennis court and pool. There is scope to increase the number of dwellings on the site (STCA).
Close to the shopping facilities of Moonee Beach and 15 minute drive to the regional centre of Coffs Harbour and the airport, you can enjoy the convenience of this truly unique location.

Property / Location Facts and Features:
* Bottlenose dolphins and migrating hump back whales are regularly seen from the beach and adjoining headlands. The estuary – teeming with a great variety of fish – beach and adjoining sea are part of the diverse Solitary Islands Marine Park. The Marine Park was established to protect the fragile environment created by cool southern currents and warm northern ones, which meet here. The result is a unique marine life comprised of coldwater pelagic fish mingling with tropical ones in some of the most southern coral reefs.
* A natural bush land setting with full privacy from road frontage via a subtle roadway access and substantial front fence along the western boundary and wire fencing coupled with privacy plantings along the southern and northern boundaries. Boundary screen planting to the North adds to the feeling of seclusion leaving the view path from the property to the East over the Moonee Creek and to the Moonee Beach National Park.
* The property enjoys Moonee Creek frontage with views to Moonee Beach Nature Reserve. Moonee Creek is a pristine salt water, tidal estuary and forms part of the Solitary Islands Marine Park (World Heritage). Recognized fishing estuary that varies in depth from 1.5 m at low tide to 4 m at high tide and approximately 50 m wide at the site location. Generally only fished by locals due to very limited access to the area the site remains very private with plentiful fish stocks.
* Moonee Beach Nature Reserve -
(http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/nationalparks/parkHome.aspx?id=N0509) is jointly managed by Coffs Harbour City Council and National Parks. From the property there is the recently reconstructed pedestrian “Tiki” bridge over Moonee Creek which links the site to the nature reserve and Pacific Ocean.
Located in two sections north of Coffs Harbour, this reserve protects a precious remnant of natural coastline and pristine estuary. There are rare headland plants, coastal rainforests and magnificent views from the headland walking tracks. Look-At-Me-Now Headland is highly significant to local Aboriginal people. Both Green Bluff and Look – At – Me – Now headlands have popular walking tracks and viewing spots.
Headland walks start from the townships of Emerald Beach and Moonee Beach and there’s a sealed road to the car parks at both headlands. The reserve’s scenic headlands and undeveloped surf beaches are popular for fishing, snorkeling, surfing and scuba diving.
An approximately 5m wide and 900 m long walking track runs from the pedestrian bridge down to the most secluded beach in the local government area. The walking track takes you through unspoiled coastal forest, a spectacular heath full of wildflowers in Spring, leading into Littoral Rainforest at the sand dunes and Pacific Ocean.
* Moonee Beach Parkland Reserve includes the calm swimming waters and rock pools located on the tranquil waters of Moonee Creek near to the mouth of the estuary leading to the ocean. Green Bluff headland offers nature lovers rare flora and fauna on display as they stroll through pristine rainforest, mangrove mud flats and scale the coastal headlands that boast stunning ocean views.
* Moonee Beach is a full sand based ocean beach stretching some 7 km from Moonee Beach village or Green Bluff to the Emerald Beach village at Look At Me Now Headland. Access to the ocean beach is via wading through Moonee Creek at low tide or from Emerald Beach. At this point access to the ocean beach via the Tiki pedestrian bridge is limited to “The Waterside Estate”. The limited access has left this unspoiled beach as a hidden treasure being bordered completely by the Moonee Nature Reserve with its abundant wildlife yet so close to all amenities.
* The Waterside is located 3 km to Moonee Beach village which has the Moonee Beach Shopping Centre (http://www.mainbrace.com.au/project-view-template.php?id=39&c=1&s=0).

* The RTA Pacific Highway upgrade is currently underway and will be completed within 15 months. On completion there will be an on and off ramp at Heritage Park Estate allowing ease of access onto the new freeway back to Coffs Harbour or North to the Seaside Village of Woolgoolga. The new road system allows for a service road from the property back to the Moonee Beach village and adjoining villages. Click on maps section of RTA website to review road system.
