This beautifully kept Sandbach blends relaxed coastal character with modern comfort. It’s perfect for those wanting a peaceful full-time base, a refined holiday sanctuary, or a lock-and-leave bach in an extraordinary position near the harbour.

The open-plan living zone is shaped by sunlight, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams – an uplifting, airy space that invites you to slow down. The modern kitchen brings personality with its vibrant aqua splashback, crisp cabinetry and generous prep area, while the lounge offers warmth and ease with a soft grey sectional, a cosy wood burner and seamless flow to the deck.

Both bedrooms sit just off the kitchen, keeping the layout simple and practical. The easy-care flooring throughout is ideal for relaxed bach living and perfect for coming and going after days spent exploring the harbour, beach or local walkways.

The bathroom has been beautifully modernised with wainscoting, a walk-in shower, patterned tiles and a calming palette. A door leads directly outdoors, providing convenient access to the exterior shower—ideal for rinsing off sandy feet, beach gear or after time spent gardening.

The large, covered deck extends your living space year-round – perfect for long lunches, quiet evenings, or simply letting the fresh country-meets-coastal air move through the mesh screens. Beyond, the fully fenced section offers lush lawn, raised garden beds and cactus plantings, with a practical shed for firewood and garden equipment. A standalone garage and excellent off-street parking, including room for a caravan and boat, complete this appealing package.

You’re moments from the Ohiwa Loop Road walkway, Ohiwa Spit, boat ramps and calm swimming spots ideal for paddleboards and kayaks. The Waiotahi Drifts shops, local cafés and takeaways sit within easy reach. Opotiki township is a short drive for supermarkets, services and schools, and the route towards Whakatāne keeps commuter links simple.
