The Agent Loves
"There are waterfront properties, and then there are properties like this one - where the connection to the water is so immediate, so personal, that it changes the way you live every single day."
The Location
North Arm Cove has a lovely tucked-away feel, offering a slower, more nature-led lifestyle surrounded by bushland, rolling countryside and the sparkling waterways of Port Stephens. Heros Bay adds to the village appeal with its shallow swimming cove, picnic area and family-friendly atmosphere, while nearby Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest make everyday essentials, cafés, dining and beautiful beaches easily accessible.
Tea Gardens - 16 min (16.6km)
Hawks Nest - 21 min (20.4km)
Newcastle Airport - 33 min (40.4km)
Newcastle - 59 min (63.4km)
The Snapshot
What makes 42 Eastslope Way so compelling is what you simply cannot manufacture - direct sandy beach frontage on a 1,347sqm waterfront allotment, with your own private boat ramp. Opportunities like this don't come along often in North Arm Cove, and they rarely come packaged with a residence of this quality, scale, and thoughtfulness. Custom-built and architecturally designed to maximise every degree of the water outlook, this property works on every level and answers the brief in a way very few properties ever can.
The Home
From the moment you arrive, it's clear this property was designed around a single, extraordinary asset - the water. Custom-built in 2006 and sitting mere metres from the sandy shoreline, the architecturally designed residence makes the most of every angle, with 180-degree water views drawing you through the home from entry to alfresco.
Inside, high ceilings and a generous open-plan layout set a relaxed, unhurried tone. The living and dining zone is anchored by a combustion fireplace, timber floors, and glass sliding doors that open onto the covered alfresco - where the views take over completely.
The kitchen is well-appointed with stone benchtops, custom cabinetry, soft-close doors, and an Emilia freestanding stainless-steel oven with a gas cooktop. A dedicated wine storage area adds a considered finishing touch for those evenings when the sunset over the bay demands something special.
Three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, are comfortably sized and finished with timber floors and ceiling fans. The main bathroom features a hobbed bath with tiled splashback, a corner shower, and soaring ceilings that lend it a genuine sense of occasion. A second bathroom and laundry are accessed from the entry porch, keeping the floorplan practical for families and guests.
Below the main home, the property reveals its full hand. The under-house entertainment space opens via large barn doors directly to the waterfront, complete with kitchenette facilities and an extra powder room - a space that works just as naturally any day of the week.
A large workshop, dedicated boat shed storage, and two rainwater tanks round out the ground level, while a detached double garage provides secure parking and additional storage beyond the main structure.
Here, the protected waters of Port Stephens sit at your doorstep, offering some of the most sought-after sailing and boating conditions on the mid-north coast. Whether you're arriving for long weekends or making a permanent sea change, the pace here recalibrates you from the moment you turn off the highway.
42 Eastslope Way is a property with genuine depth: one that holds far more than its streetfront suggests, and delivers far more than most waterfront listings dare to promise.
