Please Note: This is a beautiful natural waterfront property. Like most waterfront property you would ask "what about flooding" The property is situated close to the entrance to the sea on a smaller estuary, hence the majority of floodwaters are heading past it and out to the ocean. Not backing up like it does 30 km upstream. The owners have had short term inundation into the house site twice in 20 years of about 2 cm, which the house is constructed to handle. As an indicator, the last major flood event of March 2021 had no flood water inundation at all. The last time was 2013.
