There are waterfront apartments and then there are homes where you can simply open your gate, step onto the lawn and walk to the river's edge.

Welcome to Unit 2, The Jetty.

Positioned directly on the banks of the Maroochy River, The Jetty is an intimate and tightly held boutique complex of just 10 apartments across two levels. Peaceful and private, yet remarkably convenient, it's within easy walking distance of the Maroochydore CBD, Ocean Street precinct, Cotton Tree and the area's beautiful riverfront parks and beaches.

Never previously offered for sale, Unit 2 has been enjoyed by the same owner since the complex was built in 1986—a testament to both the apartment and just how tightly held this absolute riverfront position has become.

One of the apartment's most appealing features is increasingly difficult to find on the waterfront: genuine ground-floor, step-free living. Drive into your garage and there isn't a single step between the car and your front door, with secure private access leading through the garden courtyard directly into the apartment.

Step inside and the reason this home has been held for four decades becomes immediately apparent.

From the moment you enter, your eye is drawn through the living areas to an uninterrupted expanse of blue beyond. The river outlook continues through the generous living space and kitchen to the private riverfront entertaining patio. Even the kitchen enjoys a remarkable outlook, with its wide window beautifully framing the Maroochy River.

With its highly desirable north-easterly aspect, the apartment captures beautiful natural light and cooling coastal breezes. Enjoy breakfast in the morning sun or afternoon drinks on the tiled patio as boats pass by.

Better still, open your private gate and step directly onto the lawn adjoining the riverfront. Put out a sun lounge, entertain friends or simply sit back and watch life on the river. There's something wonderfully nostalgic about it—old-school coastal living right on the water's edge, yet only minutes from the restaurants, cafés, shopping and amenities of the evolving Maroochydore CBD.

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom features an ensuite and sliding doors opening onto a private courtyard, while a spacious second bathroom and separate laundry conveniently service the second bedroom and guests.

Presented in outstanding original condition, the apartment can be enjoyed immediately or provides an exceptional canvas to create a contemporary riverfront home entirely to your own taste.

Interiors can be transformed. But absolute riverfront land, a north-easterly aspect, ground-floor living and your own gate opening directly onto the riverfront simply cannot be recreated.

After approximately 40 years with the same owner, this genuinely rare piece of Maroochydore riverfront is finally coming to market.
