If your idea of luxury is less about excess and more about connection — to nature, calm and craftsmanship — this coastal hideaway delivers something truly different.

Set within a character-rich coastal community just moments from the sea, this compact yet soulful lifestyle dwelling is ideal for those who value simplicity, individuality and a slower pace of living.

The main home features one bedroom, a warm and expressive living space, and a central kitchen and dining area designed for easy everyday living. Timber textures, natural light and thoughtful details give the home its inviting feel, while the living area opens directly to the garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

A separate standalone bedroom adds excellent flexibility — perfect for guests, extended family, a creative studio or private retreat — clearly distinct from the main dwelling and enhancing privacy.

The bathroom offers modern comfort, and the home is set up for off-grid living, supported by solar panels and battery storage, helping keep running costs low and lifestyle freedom high.

Outdoors, the fully fenced garden is arranged into inviting zones including a paved entertaining area, fire pit, lawn space and quiet corners for relaxing or growing. A workshop and storage shed add further practicality.

The land is leasehold from the Ashburton District Council, with an annual lease of just $20 per year, making this an exceptionally affordable way to secure a coastal lifestyle.

Located moments from Wakanui Beach, where beach walks, open skies and sea air become part of everyday life, while Ashburton is an easy drive for cafés, services and essentials. Ideal as a permanent home, weekend escape or low-maintenance coastal base.
