(unless sold prior)

Nestled in one of Church Bay's most sought-after positions, 303 Marine Drive presents a rare opportunity to secure a true waterfront haven. This thoughtfully renovated home sits below the road, just a couple of minutes' walk to the beach, offering immediate, uninterrupted water views that create a sense of peace and escape from the moment you arrive.

Spread over two levels, the home includes three double bedrooms, two living areas and three bathrooms. Built in the 1980s and extended in 2006, it combines solid construction with modern updates. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas provide access to the many outdoor living areas. Double-glazing throughout, with a heat pump and ceiling fans for comfort all year round. The master bedroom, complete with ensuite, also enjoys exceptional views.

Entertaining is a pleasure here, with multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy the spectacular views of the Bay. The large north-facing balcony with BBQ area and dining table is the perfect spot to host friends and family, while two additional decks with retractable awnings provide further private seating areas to soak in the sun and sea views. This property is wonderfully sheltered from almost all winds. The beautifully established easy-care garden adds lush greenery, colour and privacy, while a double garage and two off-street parks offer plenty of flexibility.

From the property, a charming walk leads to a landing spot where paths meander to several lovely swimming spots including the local jetty, a rocky beach with rockpool, a sandy beach with a stream winding through it, and also providing access to the coastal cliff track which spans from the Charteris Bay Yacht Club all the way around to Purau beach. This unique position offers not only a home but also a lifestyle deeply connected to the beauty of Church Bay.

Coming to the market for the very first time, 303 Marine Drive represents a rare chance to own a slice of waterfront paradise in one of the most desirable pockets of the Bay.

The Church Bay and Diamond Harbour coastal community offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful waterside lifestyle just 40 minutes from Christchurch City. Commute via road or a scenic ferry to Lyttelton, then hop on a connecting bus into town. Zoned for Cashmere High School, and with easy access to local amenities including the nearby Diamond Harbour School, KidsFirst Kindergarten, Four Square supermarket, and Two Thumb Brew Bar, this is a location that delivers lifestyle, connection, and long-term value.
