The best of coastal locations with private access to the beach, beautiful character hardwood features and meticulously landscaped gardens, what more could you want out of a holiday home or permanent lifestyle?

Spread over two levels, the main home showcases stunning hardwood timber flooring and stonemasonry throughout the open plan layout, including the open fireplace with a hand crafted stone feature wall in the spacious living area. The kitchen with bi fold timber windows, bringing the outdoors in, features Smeg appliances and a stainless steel bench, making prepping food easy.

A media room is the perfect place to relax in the evening and the mezzanine area is great when the grandkids come to stay. Two bedrooms complete the home, one downstairs adjoining the family bathroom and the main bedroom is upstairs with a private balcony and its own bathroom.

“Oariki Coastal Cottage” named by the owners, is the double storey cottage with two separate wings, perfect for extended family or guests with large families. Located on the lower level is one bedroom with access to the outdoors, a mezzanine bed, and a fireplace. The master bedroom is on the top level with access to the balcony providing Pacific Ocean views. A kitchenette/dining area and bathroom with separate toilet are situated on the lower level.

Attached to the cottage is the three bay high stud shed which provides for all the workshop tools, beach toys, covered parking and extra space for storage. Surrounding the dwellings are beautiful New Zealand native plantings, landscaped to offer corridors of views from multiple entertaining areas. Some pasture within fenced paddocks and load-out yards provide for a few cattle.

Nestled within the heart of the East Coast, this 13.1737 hectare (more or less) property is something truly special, a haven for nature lovers and those seeking the perfect blend of privacy and serenity.
