AI summary

A classic 1960s bach at Snells Beach offers a rare beachfront opportunity. As the "last house on the beach," this private, elevated property provides stunning sea and bush views.

The two-bedroom home features open-plan living and a modern kitchen. Its large 1459m² section includes a second entrance and flat land, offering potential for a tiny home or new build.

Listed by Bayleys Warkworth for $1.29 million, it’s the first time on the market in 18 years.

There’s a deck and patio on the top level for relaxed outdoor living, plus another wrap-around deck on the lower level.

The bach is literally the last house on the beach.

Holidaying at the bach is all about indoor-outdoor living.

The owners keep their coffee machine on the table so it doesn’t take up space on the benchtop.

There’s now a modern, highly functional kitchen in the old house.

This is the larger bedroom upstairs - it opens right up to the view.

And there is sleeping for two others in the second bedroom, plus plenty of space outside for tents.
