1679 Kenepuru Road, Kenepuru Sound, Marlborough

Cute, affordable, huge potential! Owners upsizing

If you've been dreaming of owning a slice of paradise in the Marlborough Sounds, this waterfront bach in family-friendly Broughton Bay could be the perfect fit! Full of charm, character and potential, this is an excellent and affordable step into Kiwiana holiday living.

Elevated and tucked into native bush with flourishing birdlife, the property enjoys expansive views over the bay and out over Kenepuru Sound. A bush-clad track leads directly down to the sandy beach below - ideal for swimming, fishing and kayaking. Taking the kids out exploring in the boat is made easy here with boat launching off the beach directly in front of the house.

The bach itself is a real cutie, retaining much of the original 1970s charm and offering buckets of potential for renovation. Split across two levels, the home features two bedrooms inside plus a separate sleepout that can accommodate up to five guests - perfect for extended family and time away with friends.

At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and living area, with large windows that frame the water views. Sliding glass doors open onto a re-built wraparound deck with overhead shade sail, creating a welcoming outdoor space for spending long, lazy summer evenings.

If accessibility is high up on your list, you've found it here. Located just 35 minutes from Havelock or 45 minutes from Picton by road, and 30 minutes from Havelock by boat, with a private mooring and use of the community jetty, getting everyone here is easy!

This classic Kiwi bach has everything you need to begin making memories in the Sounds - load up the kids, the towels and the fishing rods and get in here!
