Perfectly positioned in the heart of sought-after Scarness, just metres from Hervey Bay’s iconic Esplanade, this beautifully renovated coastal cottage presents an outstanding opportunity to secure a substantial parcel of land in a premium beachside location, with the added advantage of an established Airbnb operation delivering very good returns for the current owners.
Whether you’re looking for an income-producing investment, a relaxed coastal retreat or the perfect site for your future dream home, this property offers an exceptional combination of location, lifestyle, income potential and long-term flexibility.
AN ENVIABLE LOCATION THAT DRIVES HOLIDAY RENTAL DEMAND
Imagine leaving the car at home and strolling to the beach, enjoying breakfast at one of the Esplanade’s popular cafés, meeting friends for dinner at a waterfront restaurant or taking an evening walk along the foreshore.
With the beach, cafés, restaurants and local conveniences all within easy walking distance, this is the coastal lifestyle visitors come to Hervey Bay to experience.
The property’s highly desirable Scarness location has been a major advantage for the current owners, who are already operating the home as an Airbnb and achieving very good returns. For buyers looking to enter the short-term accommodation market, the opportunity to acquire a property with an existing holiday rental history is a significant attraction.
AN ESTABLISHED AIRBNB WITH VERY GOOD RETURNS
Unlike a property where holiday rental income is simply a possibility, 34 Freshwater Street is already being successfully operated as an Airbnb by the current owners.
Its proximity to the beach, popular dining spots and the vibrant Esplanade makes it an appealing option for holidaymakers wanting to enjoy the best of Hervey Bay. The current owners’ experience demonstrates the appeal of this location and its potential to generate income from short-term accommodation.
For investors, this presents an opportunity to continue operating the existing cottage as a holiday rental, subject to your own assessment of the income, expenses and applicable requirements, while holding a substantial parcel of land in one of Hervey Bay’s most desirable coastal suburbs.
BUY NOW, GENERATE INCOME & BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME LATER
One of the most compelling features of this property is the potential to enjoy its existing income-producing use while planning for the future.
Set on a generous 1,004m² fully fenced allotment with dual street access, the property offers possibilities that extend well beyond the existing cottage. Continue operating the Airbnb, enjoy it as your own coastal getaway between bookings, or investigate future development options.
At a later date, you could explore removing the existing dwelling and building a brand-new home designed around your lifestyle, all in this outstanding Scarness location just moments from the beach.
Any future dwelling removal, redevelopment or additional accommodation would be subject to relevant council approvals, planning requirements and other applicable conditions.
CHARACTER, COMFORT & COASTAL LIVING
Beautifully renovated, the existing cottage combines character features with modern convenience. Polished timber and concrete floors, fresh coastal interiors and a sleek new kitchen create a welcoming atmosphere, while the generous rear deck provides the perfect place to relax, entertain or enjoy the sea breezes.
The practical floorplan includes two bedrooms, a study and a versatile multipurpose room, offering flexibility for guests, working from home or additional living space. The combined bathroom and laundry, air conditioning to the kitchen/dining area and insulated roof add to the home’s everyday comfort.
A double high-clearance carport provides valuable covered parking for larger vehicles, a boat or a caravan.
