13 Paperbark Court, Fern Bay NSW 2295

Single-level coastal living | bushland outlook | Fern Bay family estate | low maintenance footprint The buying case rests on a rare combination: a single-level, five-bedroom home on over a quarter-acre in a coastal estate, built in 2014 with polished finishes and plantation shutters throughout. For a family seeking space without stairs, this property offers immediate livability and strong rental demand, with an estimated yield near 3.1 percent. The bushland backdrop and multiple living zones give it a competitive edge over newer, denser developments in the area. It best suits owner-occupiers who value privacy and a relaxed coastal lifestyle, or investors targeting stable long-term family tenancies. The primary risk is the detected bushfire overlay, which may increase insurance costs and impose stricter landscaping requirements. This is not a deal-breaker but should be factored into holding costs. The property sits 11 metres above sea level with no flood risk, and 5G coverage is available. Its 24 percent building coverage leaves room for future extension or a shed, though council constraints apply. For a buyer, the logical hold is as a long-term family home or a low-management rental in a tightly held seaside pocket.
