8/122 Pacific Drive, Port Macquarie NSW 2444

Beachfront townhouse | 1982 build, 95sqm | Study and dual parking | Bushfire overlay noted This townhouse offers a rare configuration for its price point: a 95-square-metre internal area with a separate study, dual car spaces, and a direct position opposite Shelly Beach. For a buyer seeking a coastal foothold in Port Macquarie, the combination of established 1980s construction, fully fenced courtyard, and balcony provides immediate livability without premium strata levies typical of newer beachside developments. It serves best as a permanent residence or a high-demand rental for tenants prioritising beach proximity and school catchment access. The detected bushfire overlay is the primary risk, potentially increasing insurance costs and limiting some renovation pathways. The 2017 purchase price of $430,000 suggests modest capital growth relative to the current listing, meaning the buyer should not rely on short-term appreciation. However, the $490 weekly rental estimate supports a reasonable yield for the area. Hold this property as a medium-term lifestyle investment, using its beachside location and dual parking to attract stable tenants or as a lock-and-leave coastal base.
