The Agent Loves
"What stands out most here is the setting - private, peaceful and a real sense of escape. It delivers the space and calm of acreage living while still being just minutes from boat ramps and beaches."
The Location
Tea Gardens has that lovely, rare balance of relaxed coastal charm and everyday convenience. Set on the Myall River and linked to neighbouring Hawks Nest, it offers an easygoing lifestyle shaped by water, fresh air and a strong local community, with cafés, restaurants, shops and essential services all close at hand. The riverside foreshore adds to the appeal, while nearby Bennetts Beach and Jimmys Beach make it easy to swap errands for sand and saltwater in a matter of minutes.
Hawks Nest - 6 mins (4.4km)

The Snapshot
The real hero here is the home's remarkable flexibility. With substantial open-plan living upstairs and fully functional accommodation downstairs, this property adapts beautifully without compromising the feeling of a cohesive family home. 5 Gannet Place opens up options from day one, which is a rare and valuable thing.
The Home
Set against more than two acres of parkland-style grounds, this beautifully scaled residence is framed by manicured lawns, established native gardens and a backdrop of tall trees alive with birdlife and visiting wallabies. It offers privacy and flexibility just minutes from Hawks Nest beaches and Tea Gardens boat ramps.
Designed as a substantial two-storey home, the layout is especially suited to families, multi-generational living, or buyers wanting extra space for guests, hobbies or holiday accommodation potential.
Upstairs, the main living zone is light-filled, open and welcoming, with high ceilings, hybrid timber-style flooring and large sliding doors that connect to the elevated entertainer's deck. From here, the leafy outlook becomes part of everyday life, with tranquil views and cooling breezes.
The kitchen sits at the centre of it all, practical and well-appointed with stainless steel appliances, open display shelving and a walk-in pantry. It connects naturally with the dining and living areas, where a combustion fireplace adds warmth and character. The master bedroom is privately positioned on this level and enjoys deck access, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite, while a separate study or optional fifth bedroom adds further versatility.
Downstairs introduces another layer of flexibility, with its own living and dining space, kitchenette, three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Whether used for extended family, older children, guests or an Airbnb-style setup, this lower level gives the home versatility without compromising comfort or cohesion.
Outdoors, the property continues to deliver. Elevated wraparound decking and lower-level entertaining areas create multiple zones for gathering, unwinding, and taking in the peaceful setting. The in-ground saltwater pool, complete with paved surrounds and a covered cabana, brings a resort-like feel, while the secure yard, fruit trees, drought-tolerant plantings and open lawn make the acreage both functional and inviting.
Private, spacious and thoughtfully configured, 5 Gannet Place offers the freedom of acreage living with all the comforts of a home designed to be properly enjoyed.
