21 Sunset Parade, Kai Iwi, Manawatu-Wanganui

Breath taking scenes - from stormy ocean rage, idyllic mirrored waters, to sparkling white-capped lines as far as the eye can see (complemented by sweeping blue or cloud-studded skies and crystal-clear starry night scenes) - yours simply for the asking when you own this luxurious Kai Iwi Beach-front home.

The "Golden Mile" of the west coast, Sunset Parade, Kai Iwi, offers a mere handful of properties in this sought after suburb, and this home boasts one of the most outstanding sea views of them all. Probably one of the loveliest coastal properties to come to the market in the Whanganui area for several years.

Standing proudly on an elevated 1120m2 section, set amidst low-maintenance and attractively landscaped grounds, this thoughtfully designed, 245m2 home built in 2009 will bring a huge amount of satisfaction to the new owners, whether on a permanent basis, or escaping to at every possible holiday moment.

Open-concept living begins within the contemporary kitchen, purposefully aligned for social interaction and the views. Drawn by the outstanding, panoramic seascape ahead, dining fuses seamlessly with generous lounging, spilling out on two sides to wrap around decking and the tang of sea air. A modern log fire provides warmth.

Additionally on the upper level, there is the main bathroom and three double bedrooms, including the master (with en suite and walk-in-robe) garnished by the Tasman backdrop and private access to decking.

Downstairs, two large rooms are perfect for guests or hobbies, serviced by a second full bathroom, whilst a large, internally-accessed garage also contains space for tinkering.

At the rear of the home, an extensive covered outdoor dining/entertaining area is private and sheltered, overlooking the fenced backyard where there's plenty of space to kick a ball or park visiting cars.

Seldom do coastal properties like this one come on the market in Whanganui, let alone anywhere else in New Zealand.
