Lovingly developed this unique opportunity, which has all the elements and some surprising extras needed for living at the beach. The welcoming and warm three-bedroom plus ensuite home has many endearing features and seamlessly blends contemporary and character facilities with practicality in mind. Maximum comfort is guaranteed by a heat pump, wood-burning fire and DVS system and an entertaining deck, an extension of the living spaces bordered by attractive gardens, has a louvered roof and can be utilised year-round.

Additional accommodation and/or income is currently provided by a discreetly positioned stylish, double glazed, six-year-old Tiny Home with its own parking and complete with a bench top hob, mini oven, fridge, freezer and couch. This can be purchased if needed or relocated by the owners. An additional building, once used for accommodation and now for storage, is a project that will add value, and there is also separate garaging with workshop space and a carport. If that’s not enough, there is an outdoor bath is best enjoyed under the stars, and a hot water shower is absolutely ideal after an invigorating swim or surf.

The 933sqm near level and sheltered section has room for seven vehicles and is fully fenced, making it a secure haven for kids and pets. Here you pretty much have it all, and you even get to wake up to the sound of tui singing, watch kererū feed on the nīkau fruit and ruru dart under the moonlight – it’s a magical place if you're seeking something special and to fully appreciate, you really must inspect.
