By Amy Houlihan.

The scene is set for visionary buyers to make their ultimate kiwi dream a reality at 12 Marellen Drive in Red Beach. Those with a love of the sea will be captivated by the direct beach access, one of just a handful of homes with this advantage, and the simply spectacular, uninterrupted views across the Hauraki Gulf. Boasting 895m2 of prime residential land, the exceptional property has the dimensions to be transformed into an incredible waterfront sanctuary.

Red Beach is so appealing due to the convenience of its location. Positioned at the start of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, the relaxed beach lifestyle is still within easy commuting distance of the CBD and just five minutes from Silverdale’s major commercial, retail and recreational hub. Red Beach is also celebrated for its magical east coast aspect and successful surf club, plus the range of great schools close by and handy local shopping centre for dining out.

The property celebrates a true seaside existence and is being reluctantly sold by the owners, who have cherished it as their family bach for more than 60 years. Incredible views are always on display from the special vantage point, which is slightly elevated from the sand, ensuring a good sense of privacy. The outlook encompasses the panorama of the beach and deep azure of the water beyond, sprinkled with the many island’s of the Gulf. Dynamic weather patterns make it an ever-changing spectacle – flat as a millpond some days, while alive with crashing waves and good surf on others. Along with the captivating
visual elements, the sound of the sea is a constant companion.

Presented in original condition, the two-level, four-bedroom home is enveloped with lawns and mature trees, while just 17 steps from the front lawn arrive down on the sand. Walk along the shore in the morning, swim, surf, paddleboard and play rugby and cricket during the day, then relax with friends overlooking the spectacle at night. Flanked with grand and luxurious neighbouring properties, this unique and rare land holding has the proportions and potential to complement allkinds of design concepts.

The convenient street frontage makes access to the site easy, with plans limited only to imagination. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create an absolute beachfront home just 25 minutes’ drive north of the CBD.
