Welcome to 8 Sunset Drive, Garden Island Creek, a property where history, character and an incredible coastal lifestyle come together. Set on approximately 675 square metres, this much-loved home has been in the same family for many, many years, and it is clear from the moment you arrive just how much care has gone into creating the property you see today.
The home itself has a wonderful story. Originally built in 1975, it was once an old picker's hut in Cradoc before being picked up and relocated here to Garden Island Creek. Since then, it has been extensively renovated throughout, including being completely re-wired, re-plumbed and fully insulated. The result is a home that retains its unique history and character, while giving its new owners the comfort and practicality of modern living.
Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, one bathroom and two toilets, along with two additional sunrooms or sitting rooms. These versatile spaces give you the flexibility to create a quiet reading room, home office, additional living space or simply somewhere to sit back and enjoy the peaceful surrounds. The main bedroom includes built-in robes, while the separate laundry has the added benefit of an indoor storage room, making everyday living practical and keeping the home beautifully organised.
The kitchen is full of warmth and character, featuring beautiful timber alongside a double sink, oven, electric cooktop and rangehood. For year-round comfort, the home is fully insulated and offers both reverse-cycle heating and a woodfire, giving you plenty of options to stay comfortable through every season.
Outside, the care continues. The gardens are immaculate and established, while the fully fenced grounds create a secure and private space to enjoy. Two carports provide convenient undercover parking, and the large shed and workshop offer plenty of room for storage, hobbies, tools or those projects that always seem to need a little more space. The property is also well equipped for its coastal setting, with a 35,000-litre water tank, septic system and a well with a pump, providing practical infrastructure and an added level of independence for the new owner.
But, of course, one of the most special features of this property is found at the back gate. From here, you have direct access to the beach. There is no need to pack the car, find a parking spot or plan a day around getting to the water, the beach is simply part of your everyday life. Enjoy an early morning walk, let the dog stretch its legs, spend an afternoon by the water or simply sit back and appreciate having this incredible coastline right on your doorstep.
After being cherished by the same family for so many years, the opportunity has now arrived for someone new to begin their own chapter here. This is more than a renovated home, it is a property with a story, a sense of place and a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.
A home with history, a garden to be enjoyed, space to create and the beach just at your back gate. Welcome to 8 Sunset Drive, Garden Island Creek.
