Some homes are built with bricks and mortar. This one was built with stories, sandy feet and summers that never seemed to end.
Owned by the same family for over 80 years, this home began as a humble little shack Grandad built from the ground up, growing bit by bit as the family grew around it. If there was a spare patch of floor, there was a mattress on it and a cousin tucked up for the night. Children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have all made their memories here - long days on the beach, latenight card games, and early mornings watching the sun creep over the ocean.
Make no mistake: this home is looking for you to give it some love. It's honest, original and perfectly relaxed with no airs and graces, and when you want to refine things there is scope to do that. The add ons are practical, functional and some might have you scratching your head - but they tell the tale of a place that's been adapted and used. This is shack life exactly as it should be: a big kitchen for everyone to gather in, a table to play cards at, and a coffee table that's absolutely meant for putting your feet up.
The setting is simply outstanding. There are excellent beach and ocean views, and it's only metres around the corner to feel the sand between your toes. The Scamander River, boat ramp and the beach are all so close you can wander down without a second thought - launch the boat, cast a line, or head out for a sunrise swim.
Sold on a walk in walk out basis, this shack is move in ready so you can start writing your own stories from day one. All the time in the world is here for you to update, renovate and gently bring it into its next era, while honouring the history that gives it so much heart. A cosy wood heater anchors the living space, promising warm winter weekends after wild-weather beach walks.
If you've been dreaming of a true East Coast shack - one that's held tight to a family for generations and is finally ready to welcome a new one - this is your chance. So close to the shore, steeped in memories and brimming with potential, shack life is yours for the taking.
So please give Heidi Howe and her team at Harcourts St Helens a call today and arrange a time to view in person or virtually. Homes in this price range are scarce in Scamander, so come and look and appreciate the canvas waiting for you.
