Is this Balnarring Beach’s best kept secret? Your own hidden haven, this original two-bedroom beach cottage enjoys complete privacy among native gardens and is just a 250m walk to the water’s edge down an adjoining laneway.

A fabulous opportunity to secure your own little patch of paradise in a tightly held foreshore location where the blissful tranquility is disturbed only by birdsong or the sleepy grunt of a koala snoozing high in the manna gum trees, the 1226sqm (approx.) allotment offers the perfect platform for a new home, but there’s still plenty to enjoy today.

With arguably the best beach on Western Port on your doorstep and the general store just a pleasant stroll for your coffee fix and the weekend papers, the stage is perfectly set for easy escapes with family or friends while your plans for this little gem take shape.

Dating back to the late 1940s, the rustic and rambling cottage has a charming rough-hewn and hand built feel with wonderful old timber linings, vintage doors and windows that could potentially be reclaimed and incorporated into a unique new home.

Beyond the main living room, a galley style kitchen has the basics covered, while the main bedroom has a walk through robe to a dual access bathroom shared with the second bedroom, while a detached two-room bungalow offers scope for a kids’ own zone.

Outside, a magnificent loquat tree provides wonderful shade and an abundance of fruit, while low maintenance natives offer a sanctuary for local birdlife.

Additional features include reverse-cycle airconditioning, mains and bore water, log cabin shed with toilet, a double carport and heaps of parking space on site.
